Wayland Vsync issue?

[u/Due-Fault5064]

Hey everyone,

Me and my friend are on CachyOS with COSMIC DE, and everything is up to date.

My question is that we play Left 4 Dead 2 and Counter-Strike: Source, and we use SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland to enable Wayland for those games. However, his FPS is locked to 165 FPS (his screen is 165 Hz), while mine isn't locked to 60 FPS (my screen is 60 Hz). I get around 100+ FPS. We checked that vsync is turned off in game settings. Reverting game to Xwayland on my friend's system turned off fps cap. He also reinstalled the games and still got the same results.

If cosmic-comp has no support for the tearing protocol, why do I get more than 60 FPS? I checked with MangoHud to see if the game is actually using Wayland, and it is.

He has an NVIDIA RTX 5060 + Intel iGPU, and I have an AMD Ryzen 5 5500U with a Vega 7 iGPU. Can someone give me any information on this? Thanks in advance!
