I’m experiencing an unusual performance issue with Roll20 on my Fedora Linux system. The AMD Radeon RX 7700S is being 100% utilized when running Roll20 in Chrome, which seems excessive. On Windows, I didn’t encounter this problem and could even run the application primarily through the CPU.
As I understand it – and take this with a grain of salt, I’ve only heard it from a long-time Linux-using friend, I have no knowledge of it myself – Chrome isn’t set up to use hardware acceleration under Linux, only under Windows. Firefox is set up to use hardware acceleration for Linux, but isn’t for Windows.
The last time I used the Roll20 site, maybe a couple years ago, it had stopped working with Firefox, so you might be stuck with that. There may be some way to reduce the usage via software.
I always start chrome with the button “Launch using Discrete Graphics Card” when the graphics card is displayed, but this is a different bug. it also uses the correct graphics card, at least as far as I can see in the resources.
If worth something, I had many problems between 6.11.+ and 6.13.+. I been forced to stay at 6.10.+ for a while, then jump to 6.14.0 (don’t go to 6.14.2 as they re-introduced back some problems)
