Bug ID: 51310 Summary: Steam - gameoverlayrenderer.dll issue, fps loss and/or stuttering if not disabled Product: Wine Version: 6.11 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: gab.pulcio@gmail.com Distribution: ---
Basically many games relies on gameoverlayrenderer.dll, if I disable it (which I did for now) they won't launch at all... a game that doesn't launch is "Spintires - Mudrunner" for example.
Disabling it though resolves a lot of problems, more FPS in a lot of games (with it enabled there is an annoying stuttering and constant FPS drop, every second) BUT there is this little problem: many games won't launch with it disabled.
So, I tried to disable the steam overlay and re-enabling gameoverlayrenderer.dll, it should've fixed the FPS issue, only a few games benefits from this though. I think that disabling the overlay through steam settings doesn't completely remove that garbage, thus the FPS drop/stuttering even without overlay.
