Performance issues on MT client on multiplayer?

[enjoycowboy]

Seems whenever I join a multiplayer server, the performance caps out even tho my computer still has enough headroom when using MT client. Single thread client seems fine, save for a few texture bugs. I have a lutris installation with this script. Happy to share any necessary logs.

PC specs: AMD Ryzen 5 5500, 32gb RAM @ 2666 MHz, RTX 2060. Ubuntu 22

@enjoycowboy A few questions that might help investigating:

1. Which wine version or variant are you using? (vanilla/plain, Valve's wine fork or wine-GE?)
2. Which Mesa version?
3. Which Linux kernel version?
4. Do you have DXVK enabled? If yes, which version? (see advanced Lutris runner options)
5. Do you have Fsync and/or Esync enabled? (see Lutris runner options)

Then it might be useful to verify that you're CPU bound: Use Right-Ctrl+Pause twice. And if you're using DXVK you can add a key "DXVK_HUD" with the value "version,api,devinfo,fps,memory,gpuload,submissions,drawcalls,compiler,samplers,descriptors,pipelines,cs" to the game's system options in Lutris. That also gives you a usage percentage for the CPU + GPU. Feel free to attach a screenshot of that here.

Third step, if being CPU bound was confirmed, could be to create FlameGraphs: https://www.brendangregg.com/FlameGraphs/cpuflamegraphs.html#Instructions.

Edit: Also what I'm using on my side:

1. wine-GE Proton7-43
2. Mesa 23.1.2-1
3. Linux 6.3.7-1
4. DXVK from git master (1a5afc77b1)
5. Fsync + Esync both enabled

This at least seems to make me GPU bound and CPU seems okay.
