LInux Game Client wayland flags

[cybernite 93]

Hello, I saw the recent game client updates and notice there is a linux version (appimage). I tried it out

at first and it kind of worked but by default it puts you into X11 mode and gives you low 60fps and mouse input is laggy. So I contacted hellp@tankinonline.com and they gave me the correct flags to force it into wayland mode. I tested it out and get nice smooth 165fps and low input latency.

Try running your game using parameters:
--enable-features=WaylandWindowDecorations,VaapiVideoDecodeLinuxGL --ozone-platform-hint=auto --gpu-context=wayland

You can also try using these parameters:
--enable-features=UseOzonePlatform,WaylandWindowDecorations --ozone-platform=wayland

You can also try using both parameters together.

So I did this;

 

// 1st make Tanki Appimage into an executable

$ chmod +x TankiOnlineSetup-linux-x86_64.AppImage

// I also used --no-sandbox to get the .Appimage to work.

$ ./TankiOnlineSetup-linux-x86_64.AppImage --no-sandbox --enable-features=WaylandWindowDecorations,VaapiVideoDecodeLinuxGL --ozone-platform-hint=auto --gpu-context=wayland

 

I tested this with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Gnome 46 (Wayland) with 7800x3d cpu and 7800xt gpu; it works, I'm happy.
