Playing on Linux
If the game flickers, shows torn or scrambled graphics, or the pause screen has a black band across it, update to the latest build. We fixed this, and the game now handles it on its own.
Here is what was going on. It hits Wayland desktops — Hyprland, including the Omarchy setups a lot of you run — on NVIDIA cards. Java's OpenGL rendering and NVIDIA's Wayland path were not handing frames off cleanly, which gave you the flicker, the stray pixels, and that stripe through the pause menu. The same machines sometimes drew the whole interface at four times its size too, so menus came up huge and zoomed in. That one came from the desktop's scaling setting getting applied twice.
Current builds spot an NVIDIA-on-Wayland machine when they start, switch to a rendering path that does not tear, and set the interface back to 1:1. You do not have to configure anything — get on the latest version and you are set.
Still seeing it on the latest build?
- Close the game fully and open it again once after updating.
- Send us a ticket below. Tell us your distro, your compositor (Hyprland, KDE, GNOME, and so on), and your GPU, and choose Linux as the platform.
On a 4K display
The no-tear path costs more than the normal one, so at 4K the frame rate can dip. It runs smooth at 1080p: set your monitor to 1920×1080 before you launch and switch it back when you are done. Our Linux launch script in the game repo does that for you and puts your resolution back on exit.
Turning it off
If the workaround ever causes a problem of its own, launch with CHONK_NO_WAYLAND_NVIDIA_FIX=1 set in your environment to disable it. Most people never need to.
Steam Deck
Nothing to do. The Deck already runs the game the right way out of the box.
While you are here, there is a ChonkBlocker theme for Omarchy on the Linux theme page.
