A very nice call to murder people. Why talk about technical stuff when you can throw such tantrums publicly. As for me personally I no longer care.

I actually was never able to get proton vsync to work on triple monitors, as my primary would tear unless I disabled the others. Using TearFree would work, I seem to remember, but resulted in some serious mentioned stuttering. I always just assumed it had to do with syncing a single "screen"/canvas with multiple "displays" on X. Looks like this would fix that for me :3
Just to bait some of the KILL THE UNBELIEVERS fellers, last I tried I still couldn't seemingly get any unredirect to actually work on any wayland compositors; Sway or Plasma. With uncapped FPS, I got serious stuttering where the FPS average might be 100+ but it most often looked like 18, and overall performance was lower. With capped, somewhat improved but still pretty bad. I'm still not sure how wayland syncs displays or how games read it, and I don't know what I was doing wrong either. Disabling displays didn't help.
One of at least two reasons I gotta stick to X for now; the other being drawing tablets. This fix will make my life just that much better. Big TY devLast edited by doomie; 09 September 2021, 09:02 PM.

Edit: still a nice addition, hope users wanting to use it won't have to wait too long for a release.- It's talking about when you have an unredirected fullscreen window on one monitor. (i.e. under X11, the "bypass compositor" feature that lets a game get OpenGL/Vulkan direct-to-monitor for performance) That's a common "you only got this now?" thing for X11 to say to Wayland.
- It's a configuration setting that means "If monitors are configured to have differing refresh rates and a whole-desktop sync-to-vblank has been requested, prefer tearing on the secondary monitors over waiting for all vblanks to report in."
