RS3 isn't launching/Performing poorly

[Anarchynachos]

If the client comes up at all it goes to "Loading application resources" after downloading game files the first time, and then closes.
Tested on:
Version 0.20.0 from Flathub.
aur/bolt-launcher 0.20.4-1
aur/bolt-launcher-bin 0.20.4-2

Terminal output:

╰─λ bolt

Apologies if my report is malformed somehow, this is literally my first submitted Github issue.

I used the fix mentioned here and now it works flawlessly!

Sorry to reopen, but... I realized this "fix" gives very poor performance. Doesn't seem to be using my GPU?

Anything one can do about this?

Looks like you already had a conversation on Discord, but yeah, Wayland and Nvidia doesn't work with RS3. It's also not an advisable combo in general - RS3 isn't the only things you're likely to have issues with. Use X11 if you're stuck on nvidia hardware.

The reason it works when running via steam/wine/proton is probably because the windowing is done differently, i.e. via wine and not via SDL2.

It's also strange that you needed to use the fix you mentioned, since Bolt now sets that environment variable on launch:

Bolt/src/browser/window_launcher_posix.cxx

Line 333 in 5875173

setenv("SDL_VIDEODRIVER", "x11", true);

So not sure why that made a difference for you.
