[Bug 1453556] [NEW] major slowdown in 3d games after a while

 

Public bug reported:

After upgrading to Vivid, I've been experiencing a new issue (wasn't
present before in Utopic): after a period of let's say about a day, and
multiple suspend-resume cycles in that period (> 5), some 3D games will
have so low FPS as to become unplayable.

(I've confirmed this with multiple games, like Massive Chalice, Space
Run, Frozen Cortex, Trine, which used to work properly in Utopic.)

I'm not sure the problem is with compiz, but I can make the problem go
away by running "compiz --replace" in a terminal - Compiz will restart
and my FPS goes back to normal.

I'm using nVidia drivers 340.76, as can be seen from the submitted
files.

Is this a known issue? Should I try running some other driver version to
see if that's the problem?

Cheers
