If you have an iGPU too, maybe it's trying to use the wrong one?

Maybe. I feel like I should dig into the settings for the game before I load it again. Does anyone know if Control had an .ini file or something like that? It's literally impossible to adjust the graphics settings through the options menu

I'll take a look tomorrow! I know the path tracing stuff caused issues at first, that might be on by default. What resolution & refresh rate do you have? I'll try to make a config that fits.

Btw, you're on Windows or Linux?

Linux, thank you. I don't know the specifics of my setup right now but I'll try and remember to update my reply when I get home and can look into it

Please do! Let me also share my run command etc., because initially I also had trouble getting it to run, until I landed on the right env var :)

  • For launch options I use: ENABLE_GAMESCOPE_WSI=0 gamescope -H 2160 -r 120 -- %command%
    • Set -H to your native screen height, and -r to your desired refresh rate
  • I'm using Steam in Flatpak. Shouldn't be a requirement, but might be helpful for consistency
    • I also installed org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.gamescope 26.08
  • My Proton version is GE-Proton11-7, installed through ProtonPlus or ProtonForge (shouldn't matter).

I also found the config file, it's under your games root at steamapps/compatdata/3669870/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/Remedy/CONTROLResonant/renderer.ini. Here's mine: https://pastebin.com/4MSNXd80

I use frame generation & upscaling to keep temperatures down, let me know if you a config with them turned off!
