Ntsync Disabled

Table of Contents

Description

NTSync is a feature in the Linux kernel (starting with version 6.14) that helps Windows games run much faster on Linux. It allows Linux to natively understand how Windows games manage their internal timing and threads, eliminating the heavy CPU translation process that Wine previously had to do. The result is lower CPU usage, less stuttering, and higher frame rates in complex games.

Resolution

You can temporarily enable Ntsync by running sudo modprobe ntsync.

If you want to permanently enable Ntsync edit the file /etc/modules-load.d/ntsync.conf and add a new line to the file that says ntsync.
