Wayland long transitions

RetroArch Linux devices
#1

Retroarch on Wayland instead of X11 is smooth, it really feels great… with one exception. Anytime you move from the XMB interface to the game window or vice versa, for example by pressing the F1 key, there is a long transition of about 1 second. During this time the underlying desktop shows and it’s quite jarring.

I’m posting this here as maybe it isn’t even a bug with Retroarch, maybe Wayland or the Intel drivers on my Linux box. However, perhaps there is a way Retroarch can work around it?

Cheers,

I’m afraid I cannot answer your question, but I have one related : is Retroarch on Wayland closer to what you can get on KMS/DRM than on X11 ?

Absolutely. I use Retroarch with Wayland and Vulkan but on OpenGL it’s just as smooth.
