d912pxy VS barrier

I'm surprised nobody covered p.2. JUST USE d912pxy. Period. The game is unplayable without it. BTW running it on Linux has the same effect as it translates DirectX calls to Vulkan calls and precompiles shaders. As much as I appreciate and respect ArenaNet will to fix performance introducing Dx11 hardly improved anything. There is still long way to go.

I think the 5900 is holding you back. I have 5800x3d and in dragons end FPS stays over 60 most of the time. I also use dx12 API proxy: https://github.com/megai2/d912pxy

Also idk if it's still relevant but I had a massive fps improvement in GW2 by using a proxy dll dx12 proxy

You could try using the dx12 addon to maybe squeeze out a bit more fps then dx11 gives. Otherwise gw2 is really a lost cause when it comes to trying to get a decent frame rate.

If none of that is enough try out the DX12 addon.

It still looks good. Use d912pxy to turn it into dx 12 to get better performance then ad shade over the top and it looks lovely.

For software KVM you can use https://github.com/debauchee/barrier

I use it between a Windows PC & a Macbookpro (Linux version available but I don't have Linux)

libei looks useful. But IDK why libei is necessary to run Barrier with Wayland?

For client systems, couldn't there just be a virtual /dev/inputXYZ that Barrier forwards events through

And for host systems, it looks like xev only logs input events when the window is focused.

Is xeyes still broken on Wayland, and how to fix it so that it would work with Barrier?

With Barrier, when the mouse cursor reaches a screen boundary, the keyboard and mouse input are then passed to a different X session on another box until the cursor again crosses a screen boundary rule.

Barrier is a fork of Synergy's open core: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier

libei:

I have a similar gaming/WFH setup (2 monitors at 1440p 144hz) and I’ve been using Barrier instead of a physical kvm, and it works really well. Not sure if you’re open to a software kvm but if you are, I’m happy to answer any questions about it if you have any.

Have you tried Barrier? I casually used it to swap between my main rig and my MBP. Took a minute to get it setup but once I sorted it all out it worked pretty well. It has some settings and tweaks built in to address some of the layout issues you mentioned...

Barrier appears to handle PC switching only for the keyboard and mouse.

Sorry, probably not entirely on topic and can't answer anything reliable about the multimonitor stuff, but a tip regarding the 2 mice and 2 keyboards for the 2 different computers: use this: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier It's oss multi-os software that lets you use one mouse and keyboard (server) on several PCs (clients) easily over your LAN.

Barrier is a free and open source alternative.
