Just throwing it out there as an option. Good luck.

Maybe reshare the directory locally through Samba on your VM?

Oh hell yea. Window resizing has been one of the most jarring things that always made it feel clunky. Fixing that up will be amazing.

Just a point on Wayland - I have an nvidia GPU and have been on Wayland for a couple months now (KDE Plasma), and its been entirely problem free and I actually forgot I switched from X11 to Wayland.

Blender has support for Wayland now too.

I do a lot of gaming and development - ever since Nvidia made those changes for Wayland support and KDE added that explicit sync stuff its been great. Before all of that though I had heaps of issues with flickering and just general usability.

Wayland actually fixed a number of issues for me, like stuttering when notifications appear, and jankyness in resizing windows.

For this type of game, performance is really inconsistent. Without even building a mega base etc, sometimes it’ll decide to just start moving as a slide show at like 20 fps. When I first load it it runs nicely at 100fps (with some tuning of the graphics).

Its especially bad if you go into a new town. Sometimes it’ll go fine, but chances are it’ll run like shit until you close the game and reopen it.
