Cant speak for HoI4, but I found running the windows version in proton works better for EU4.
hmm could be, however doesn't explain why it works on one machine but not here (or with different distros), they're both native.
Could you give a bit more information about the hardware and software setup?
- which GPU do your desktop and laptop have? (from what I could find online, the A285 has an iGPU from 2019. I really hope this is wrong)
- wayland or X11?
- hoi4 native or via proton?
I believe I had similar issues on my Nvidia GPU, but resizing the window was a complete fix in my case.
Both have AMD, desktop has RX 580, laptop does have integrated (however as I said it worked on other distros)
X11
Native I believe
You could try adding the __GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATION=1
environment variable to the custom launch options, it improved performance and lessened bugyness for me.
You could also try to run the launcher with software rendering^1^ by editing ~/.paradoxlauncher/launcher-v2.2024.1/Paradox Launcher
(you might have to change the version). Try adding --disable-gpu
in the last line, between --no-sandbox
and "$@"
You could also try disabling gamemoderun. It hasn't really improved performance in my experience, but has caused some bugs for me. It also muddies the logs.
