I am on a laptop, but it has GeForce RTX 2080 with Max-Q Design.
Processor is Intel Core i7-9750H CPU @ 2.60GHz x 6
Memory is 31.1 GB
My reply was fast because I just noticed it. Normally it might take days until I reply during the week. If you got another built to test after you figure something out, then I can test it for you when I got the time.

I am curious what got changed. I also added a small message if there is ever any need.
Thanks for the quick test again! It looks like it worked too, although I'm reminded that I still need to figure out why the bullet casings going left are black for you. Have even less of an idea why that happens.
The problem had to do with the way I handle animations, in short its all flipbook animations handled in shaders in an attempt to optimize it for the CPU. Now this is all speculation but it seems like trying to fix what I think the problem was fixed it; the way I had it set up with handling different properties for different projectiles created a massive amount of branches that caused the slowdown. How shader branching is handled seems pretty dependent on hardware, drivers, etc so its possible that how its handled on some systems caused it. Could be because of some difference between Linux or Vulkan or something, not sure.
So I made a change to avoid branching that is much more convoluted and probably ~80 more instructions per frame but if it works...
I don't use Discord much but I'll add you for sure.
