Performance hit when gamepad support is enabled and Flex-Launcher is not hidden. about flex-launcher HOT 7 CLOSED

Well with this build it works perfectly!

Sorry for the late reply, I just pulled and build again and it seems to work fine for me.

Is your Ubuntu desktop running Wayland? If so, is Flex Launcher running in XWayland compatibility mode? Generally it will unless you pass SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland environment variable.

No, I'm running X11 because, well I don't remember why, I'm just more familiar with that. I just checked and loginctl confirmed that I'm under x11, not wayland

I am a bit puzzled as to why the gamepad is affecting the performance, since the gamepad isn't polled when the application is running.

I uploaded a test branch gamepad with a simple change that disconnects the gamepad prior to application launch, then automatically reconnects it after the application closes. Please clone the branch

git clone -b gamepad https://github.com/complexlogic/flex-launcher.git

Then build according to the instructions, run it with OnLaunch set to None and the gamepad connected. See if that fixes the performance problem in your applications.

Great. I'm not really sure why it fixes the problem. But I was already thinking of making this change anyway to account for the case where the user switches to a different gamepad device while the application is running, so I'm going to go ahead and merge this into master.

I just discovered there was a minor bug in that gamepad branch. Could you run git pull and then build and try one more time before I merge it? Thanks.
