Short summary of your issue
Slowdown on Linux when popups appear

Game Version
1.3.3

What OS are you playing on?
Linux (other non supported distro)

Do you have mods enabled?
No

Have you tried verifying your game files?
No

How much "pain" is this causing you?
5

Please explain the issue you experienced in the most condensed way possible
OS: Ubuntu Studio 23.04
Whenever an upper middle screen popup (such as "Gold Discovered", picture attached in case i am not using the right terminology) shows up, there is considerable slowdown. My game runs very smoothly, except for whenever one of these shows up (single digit or teens in FPS). Game technically playable, but very annoying to have happen frequently.

Please explain how to reproduce the issue
Happens any time a popup shows up.

Is there anything else you think could help us identify/replicate the issue?
I had an issue with the game where due newer linux distro versions using Pipewire, I had to install a compatibility tool pipewire-jack to get the audio to work correctly. Otherwise, no other major changes have been done.

I have attached a save game
No

Hi! I'll have to move the thread to the Technical Support forum as the issue is not reproducible on our Ubuntu machines and the QA team is not able to assist with configuration-specific issues :(

Hopefully the Tech Support will be able to solve your issue!
Best regards
