As of 1.0.2-THQN update the game is laggy. The map scroll stutters and the mouse speed is like under water. The whole experience is like the game is too heavy for the video card but I still think that my 1080Ti is more than enough. I tried the game on Ubuntu 18.04, Manjaro, Arch and Mint 19 with the pretty same result. Please give an update or valuable advice. Thank you.

Thank you for replay :) I saw that thread but I don't know where to put NOSMOOTHMOUSE variable on Linux. I tried it via terminal along with start.sh, tried to add in start.sh in the options section of the script to no avail. Can you tell me how to use it? In the changelog they wrote to look at the available command line options but I can't find this file nowhere :(

You will have to find the Steam folder by yourself as I don't have Linux. But it must be where your other programs are.

But in case you don't find it:

Steam command line options: "Properties" from the right-click menu of the game, and then "Set Launch Options".
For any other launch method, please use the facilities provided by the operating system.

Seperate each command (and their argument, if there's any) by spaces. If you experience any problems with the
default mode (smooth mouse on, auto mouse speed detection), please let use know.

Available command line options:
NOSMOOTHMOUSE: Specifying this option will restore the old behaviour, where the mouse updates 1:1 with the game
engine, at 25hz.
MOUSEFACTOR <number>: 1.0 will restore the old mouse speed, bigger numbers make it faster, smaller (>0) numbers slower.
Anything less than zero will be considered as if the option is not specified at all, and the
default auto-speed will be used.
FORCEBORDERLESS: Borderless fullscreen is disabled for Intel gpus for compatibility reason. You can override this
behaviour by specifying this option, but please note, it may lead to an unresponsive, invisible
game in fullscreen mode.
AUDIODEVICELIST: Specifying this option will list the available audio devices in log.txt (windows) or the output.
AUDIODEVICE <name>: You can override the default audio device by specifying its name using this option. Use the
previous option to list available devices. In case a device has a space in its name, you can use
quotation marks. (f.e: AUDIODEVICE "Super Duper Headphone Output")

The following example command line will disable mouse smoothing, override the mouse auto-speed with a half-speed modifier,
and disables the Intel compatibility fallback mode:

NOSMOOTHMOUSE MOUSEFACTOR 0.5 FORCEBORDERLESS





You can find Properties if you go to Steam and Library and the name of the game. You don't have to use it like in that topic's screenshot.

Thank you I found this file in the game directory.

But the game is from GOG, why to search for Steam folder? These are all folders which contain "Desperados":

/home/mozo/.local/share/THQNordic/Desperados
/home/mozo/.local/share/THQNordic/Desperados/Demo_Profile_00_Briefing_Current
/home/mozo/.local/share/THQNordic/Desperados/Demo_Profile_00_Briefing_Restart
/home/mozo/.local/share/THQNordic/Desperados/Demo_Profiles
/home/mozo/.local/share/THQNordic/Desperados/Profile_00_Briefing_Current
/home/mozo/.local/share/THQNordic/Desperados/Profile_00_Briefing_Restart
/home/mozo/.local/share/THQNordic/Desperados/Profiles
/home/mozo/Desktop/Games/Desperados Wanted Dead or Alive

And the files Demo_Profile_00_Briefing_Current, Demo_Profile_00_Briefing_Restart, Demo_Profiles, Profile_00_Briefing_Current, Profile_00_Briefing_Restart, and Profiles are uneditable hence I can't use the options mentioned in the readme. They, may be, must be uset in the start.sh script but where, how, nobody says...

Sorry, I am also active on Steam forum so it is easy to get confused.
But it also says Steam in the readme and other options aren't described.
Thanks for your help anyway :)

It would be nice some support or dev help. Did they read the forum at all? And why they don't answer :(

No, GOG support staff rarely read the forums, you could fill in a support ticket.

People from the development team are on their discord daily, you could try there.

Thank you I'll try.
I figured it out - open /Desperados/Desperados Wanted Dead or Alive/game/desperados_launcher.sh with some text editor and add the variables right after "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ./desperados32". It has to be like that:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ./desperados32 NOSMOOTHMOUSE

or more options:


LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ./desperados32 NOSMOOTHMOUSE MOUSEFACTOR 1.0
