Game Hellpoint (v366) has very bad framerates (below 10fps)
Hi, I don't know if the problem is based on amdgpu or mesa, but I have to start somewhere:
So I tried playing Hellpoint (GOG Linux version 366, Unity-Engine) on my Manjaro PC and it was unplayable because framerates dropped below 10fps!
I tested it on Win7 (same PC) and on a Manjaro notebook with no problems. Details below:
1. PC - AMD Ryzen 5 2600, 8GB RAM, AMD Bonaire XT/Radeon HD 7790
Manjaro Linux (Cinnamon), Kernel 5.15, amdgpu 22.0.0, Mesa/Vulkan 21.3.7-2 > bad framerates (vkcube runs good)
Win7, 64bit > good framerates
2. PC (Notebook) - AMD Ryzen 3 5300u, AMD Renoir Graphics, 8GB RAM
Manjaro Linux (Gnome), Kernel 5.15, amdgpu 22.0.0, Mesa/Vulkan 21.3.7-2 > good framerates
Manjaro Linux (Cinnamon), Kernel 5.15, amdgpu 22.0.0, Mesa/Vulkan 21.3.7-2 > good framerates
The test with Win7 just shows, that the old graphics card in my first PC is capable of running the game.
It has something to do with my HD7990 and amdgpu/mesa. I know, the support is experimental for GCN2 cards, but I had never problems with other applications.
