[testc2n14]

i've used very reasource i coudl and used the xamples and help section to try and figure it out but no matter what if i am using game scope with monster hutner world then it can not launch

this is what i have set right now "gamescope -w 3200 -h 1800 -W 3480 -H 2160 --hdr-enabled -F fsr -- %command%"

try launching steam from the command line, so that you can see what gamescope prints out on the command line
Also, what version of gamescope are you using?

[Joshua-Ashton]

Please try latest tag

how do i launch it from terminal

how do i launch it from terminal

You can launch steam from the terminal by opening a terminal emulator window (on KDE it's called "konsole", or you could try pressing ctrl+alt + t) then typing and entering steam

@testc2n14
Also Joshua-Ashton said you should try using the latest release tag of gamescope. On archlinux, you can do that by installing gamescope-git,
on other distros, you can just download the source directly: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope/releases/tag/3.14.12
on other distros, you can just git clone the gamescope repo, and then checkout on the latest release tag:
First, make sure you have the git, meson, gcc, (also on ubuntu: ninja-build, pkg-config) installed

(EDIT: @Joshua-Ashton I just realized there's something weird with the latest release's source downloads: fallback is forced for wlroots and vkroots, BUT there's no wrap file for either, and the source doesn't have a .gitmodules file. Probably not much of a problem when being used w/ a distro's packaging system, but inconvenient for people wanting to directly build from the source)

all commands you'll need to run:

mkdir ~/gamescope-pkg
cd ~/gamescope-pkg
git clone https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope.git
cd gamescope
git checkout 3.14.12
meson subprojects download
git submodule update
meson setup build -Dinput_emulation=false --reconfigure --wipe --buildtype=debugoptimized -Db_lto=true -Denable_openvr_support=false -Dc_args="-g1 -Wno-error=unused-but-set-variable -Wno-error=unused-variable -fno-omit-frame-pointer" -Dc_link_args="-g1 -Wno-error=unused-but-set-variable -Wno-error=unused-variable -fno-omit-frame-pointer" -Dcpp_args="-g1 -Wno-error=unused-but-set-variable -Wno-error=unused-variable -fno-omit-frame-pointer" -Dcpp_link_args="-g1 -Wno-error=unused-but-set-variable -Wno-error=unused-variable -fno-omit-frame-pointer"
ninja -C build

Now to run this newer gamescope executable, you just replace gamescope in steam launcher with ${HOME}/gamescope-pkg/gamescope/build/src/gamescope

Sure you can try installing and using gamescope in flatpak
If you don't have any issues with the flatpak version, then that'll probably be the easiest solution for you

I believe that the current version of the gamescope flatpak is org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.gamescope, is that what you have installed?
(should be able to check by running flatpak list)

In that case:
Check if it runs if you run ENABLE_GAMESCOPE_WSI=0 gamescope …

if it still doesn’t run, then you can build an older version:

[ -e ~/gamescope-pkg ] && rm -rf "${HOME}/gamescope-pkg"
mkdir ~/gamescope-pkg
cd ~/gamescope-pkg
git clone https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope.git
cd gamescope
git checkout 14a1db3

ok to clarify, when I said to run ENABLE_GAMESCOPE_WSI=0 gamescope …
I was implying that you were supposed to replace ... with the other parameters you were using before: -w 3200 -h 1800 -W 3480 -H 2160 --hdr-enabled -F fsr -- %command%
(so this would be the right command that you'd put in the games' launch thingy: ENABLE_GAMESCOPE_WSI=0 gamescope -w 3200 -h 1800 -W 3480 -H 2160 --hdr-enabled -F fsr -- %command%)
Sorry for the confusion

[testc2n14]

ahhh ok, yeah so put that intot eh game prorpters nto terminal kk ty

[testc2n14]

i know i seem pretty stupid but i am only jsut startign to daily drive linux on my main machine so i still figureing things out

[testc2n14]

so i got the game too boot with thsoe comands and int eh taskbar it shows the wayland logo isntead of the normal game logo and wasn;t enabled so i am not sure it is running. i tried launching it a second time it was taking a while so i stoped the launch and tried it again. this crashed steam. now the game is jsut hangiong ont he launching prosses

No worries, it's nothing to feel stupid about, I wouldn't expect anyone to be a command-line guru just because they are a linux user :)

Hmm, would be helpful to see the stuff gamescope is printing to console
Open a terminal by doing ctrl + alt + t,
then enter steam &| tee gamescope.log
then launch the game again, and upload the gamescope.log you get to gist.github.com and post a link to the gist here

Let me know if you need any extra help with troubleshooting

[testc2n14]

gamer laucnhed perfectly fin but as far as i can tell game scope is not running as hdr is not truned on (the game supports hdr on steam deck) https://gist.github.com/testc2n14/dd62f41914cd7c03ea088f0efeb79815#file-gistfile1-txt

hmmm I think there's currently some bug with running games on gamescope when the steam overlay thingy is on
Try launching the game but with steam overlay turned off in the steam options for that game

[testc2n14]

by steam voeraly you mean the thingy that pops up when you press alt tab right

[testc2n14]

also it;s not enabled

[testc2n14]

or atl;east steam says it;s nto for all of my games

yeah uh the only other idea I have is for you to look and see if downgrading gamescope helps:

[testc2n14]

well thx for the help. well atleast it;s good know that it's abnormal behavoirs. could there be sokething my install of steam is doing thats wrong or something weird with this game

[testc2n14]

also how is gamescope implemented into steam deck

[sharkautarch]

well thx for the help. well atleast it;s good know that it's abnormal behavoirs. could there be sokething my install of steam is doing thats wrong or something weird with this game

Yeah unfortunately, the logs didn't really show any obvious signs of something going wrong inside gamescope itself (besides it not working ofc)

also how is gamescope implemented into steam deck

The way gamescope works on the steam deck, is that it by default uses 'embedded' mode (basically a mode w/ no/minimal compositing effects, where gamescope runs the whole desktop session the same way that gnome/kde would).
Steam deck users can also switch to sortof desktop mode wherein gamescope runs ontop of a normal kde desktop (called nested mode)

I guess there's also some custom integrations gamescope has w/ the steam deck (tho some of said integrations have been getting upstreamed into normal linux releases such as some kernel-level color management features)...

(gamescope's embedded mode isn't something that's steamdeck exclusive, you can run embedded gamescope by just switching to a different TTY (usually using ctrl + alt + fn + fn<num> where fn<num> is one of fn1-fn12 or something) )
