Why ntsync not enabled yet on Bazzite 43 (kernel 6.17, Proton GE-latest)

Bazzite
1

I was curious about the ntsync and as far as I can tell, the components are there in Bazzite 43.

What I can see:

  1. module is loaded

  2. $ lsmod | grep ntsync
ntsync                 20480  0

  3. WSYNC = NONE on MangoHud

    1. $ cat ~/.config/MangoHud/MangoHud.conf
winesync

  4. Using Proton-GE-Latest (at least newer than GE-Proton10-34)

  5. Kernel

  6. Linux bazzite-learn 6.17.7-ba29.fc43.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Wed Mar 25 07:35:02 UTC 2026 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I wonder what I missed. Tips are appreciated.

Hey there,

I would also check what the Steam console log says about it, ~/.steam/steam/logs/console-linux.txt. Look for wineserver: message.

here is example what I see:


[2026-05-08 14:34:52] ProtonFixes[46967] INFO: Running protonfixes on "GE-Proton10-34", build at 2026-03-23 03:55:11+00:00.

[2026-05-08 14:34:53] wineserver: NTSync up and running!

yet I do not have it shown in MangoHud and I have winesync in MangoHud.conf.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ah! I see the same lines in my Steam log. Thanks! I supposed it has already “maxed out”, was hoping for a little more fps lol.

Appreciate you guiding me; otherwise I would be wasting time googling and hallucinating w/ Gemini to no end.
