Gamescope - Problems with Flatpak Steam

[shadowfly]

>Backstory
I am currently trying to switch from X11 to Wayland (again). As my GPU is quite fast, i was using downsampling when i was still on Windows, and on Linux i use xrandr scaling like this:

Code: Select all

xrandr --output DisplayPort-0 --scale 1.5 && gamemoderun mangohud %command% && xrandr --output DisplayPort-0 --scale 1

As i was unable to figure out how to downsample on Wayland directly, i read https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Glossary:Downsampling, and figured out i would use Gamescope.

>My Software
I am running Flatpak-Steam https://flathub.org/apps/com.valvesoftware.Steam to isolate the closed source software a bit more from my system, so i installed Flatpak-Gamescope https://flathub.org/apps/org.freedeskto ... .gamescope to match it.

>The Problem on Wayland
When i run gamescope -- %command% (In my case for Baldur's Gate 3 on Vulkan), a message appears:

Code: Select all

CreateSwapchainKHR: Creating swapchain for non-Gamescope swapchain.
Hooking has failed somewhere!
You may have a bad Vulkan layer interfering.
Press OK to try to power through this error, or Cancel to stop.

When i press OK, another pup-up is shown:

Code: Select all

QueuePresentKHR: Attempting to present to a non-hooked swapchain.
Hooking has failed somewhere!
You may have a bad Vulkan layer interfering.
Press OK to try to power through this error, or Cancel to stop.

When i press OK, the game just starts completely normal. However it seems Gamescope is off or something because

Code: Select all

gamescope -w 3840 -h 2160 -W 2560 -H 1440 -f -e -- gamemoderun mangohud %command% 

does nothing more than this. (Even though it should allow me to set my render resolution in game to 3840x2160).

>The Problem on X11
When i run gamescope -- %command% (In my case for Baldur's Gate 3 on Vulkan), the game crashes immediately. Then the game's crash reporter asks me to send a crash report.

>Potential Solution
I have found someone with a similar problem https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/c ... d_working/, but their solution does not work for me:

Code: Select all

user $ flatpak update --commit=0b3543a920d07271426945f9ebde207de89232475d6f6ba8bf98ff7cb3f2590e runtime/org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.gamescope/x86_64/23.08
Searching for updates...
Error: Server returned 404

>I loose track
In Line 936 in https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamesc ... pe_wsi.cpp there is the first error message displayed when "if (!gamescopeSurface)", so i suspect gamescope is off for me. Unfortunately i can't make much of the code.

>System:

• OS: Gentoo Linux 2.15
• Kernel: 6.1.90-gentoo
• Windowing System: Wayland and X11 tested
• Desktop Environment: KDE Plasma 5.27.11
• GPU: AMD RX 6800XT
• Display: 2560x1440@165FPS, VRR

Thank you for your time!

I have the same issue but not using Flatpak.

My issue was fixed by not using mangohud in the launch parameters.

Running gamescope --help:

Code: Select all

  --mangoapp                     Launch with the mangoapp (mangohud) performance overlay enabled. You should use this instead of using mangohud on the game or gamescope.

[shadowfly]

Thanks for the reply!

Unfortunately this does not work for me. Simply running 'gamescope -- %command%' -- so just the game in gamescope without any tweaks -- throws these errors. And running 'gamescope -w 3840 -h 2160 -W 2560 -H 1440 -f -e -- %command%' does not unlock higher resolutions in game.

[milkfat32]

Well in that case, the only suggestion I have left is to use the --expose-wayland parameter for when you are running it in Wayland.

I personally tried the exact same setup that you have and could not get it to work, so I bit the bullet and installed steam and mangohud from the overlays and gamescope from the official repository, but that is not an ideal solution in this case.

[shadowfly]

I tried --expose-wayland, but as you expected just got more errors:
Wayland + Gamescope + Baldur's Gate 3 DX11

Code: Select all

gamescope --expose-wayland -w 3840 -h 2160 -W 2560 -H 1440 -f -e -- %command%

DirectX Error
The game has failed to initialize DirectX and will shut down.
This error may be triggered by reasons that are not related to Baldurs Gate 3.

Please try the following before restarting:
- Disable any screen recording software you may be running
- Make sure all your Windows updates have been installed
. Make sure you have the latest graphics drivers installed
- Disable SLI/CrossFireX

You could also try contacting developer support with your gold.log and DxDiag.txt.
If you make significant change to your system (like installing updates or drivers), please send us before and after
versions of those files. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Based on my own google-fu, it seems to have trouble using the built-in Proton, when using Flatpak.

Have you tried running just steam inside gamescope?

Code: Select all

gamescope -- steam

But of course with the flatpak commands instead.

So you have to use something like Proton-GE, but that flatpak is deprecated. There is another flatpak called ProtonUp-Qt you can try.

Another option is to try using the gamescope from the gentoo repository? That is open source software after all.

I don't know which permissions would be required for the Steam flatpak to be able to use the native gamescope.

[shadowfly]

Wow, this hint has gotten us really close.

First i tried Flatpak Gamescope running Steam:

Code: Select all

shadowfly $ flatpak install flathub org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.gamescope
shadowfly $ flatpak run org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.gamescope -- flatpak run com.valvesoftware.steam
bwrap: execvp /bin/sh: No such file or directory

No sucess.

Then i tried native Gamescope running Steam:

Code: Select all

root $ nano /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords/gamescope

gui-wm/gamescope ~amd64
media-libs/libavif ~amd64
dev-libs/libliftoff ~amd64
media-libs/vkroots ~amd64

Code: Select all

root $ emerge -a gui-wm/gamescope

Starting Steam inside native Gamescope:

Code: Select all

gamescope -w 3840 -h 2160 -W 2560 -H 1440 -f -e -- flatpak run com.valvesoftware.Steam

Sucess! The Steam font is much bigger now! Then i launched Baldur's Gate 3 with GE-Proton8-16 (from outdated com.valvesoftware.Steam.CompatibilityTool.Proton-GE).
Launch args: None
No errors displayed and i could select 3840x2160 as render resolution. Unfortunately exiting the game crashes the game and Steam.

Then i tried native Gamescope running Steam with net.davidotek.pupgui2 :

Code: Select all

gamescope -w 3840 -h 2160 -W 2560 -H 1440 -f -e -- flatpak run com.valvesoftware.Steam

Launch args: None, Proton: GE-Proton9-9
CreateSwapchainKHR errors and no 4K resolution in game.

Then i tried native Gamescope running Steam with default Proton :

Code: Select all

gamescope -w 3840 -h 2160 -W 2560 -H 1440 -f -e -- flatpak run com.valvesoftware.Steam

Launch args: None, Proton: Proton-9.0.2
CreateSwapchainKHR errors and no 4K resolution in game.

Running

Code: Select all

gamescope --expose-wayland -w 3840 -h 2160 -W 2560 -H 1440 -f -e -- flatpak run com.valvesoftware.Steam

did not change that behavior.

TLDR: Running Steam in native Gamescope works, but i could only get the game to run with GE-Proton8-16 which crashes the game and steam when exiting.

[milkfat32]

Have you tried using the gamescope embedded mode? It might not be the result you want but it might help with troubleshooting.

You can explore this file https://github.com/ChimeraOS/gamescope- ... ssion-plus for options, but you have to run the gamescope command from a new tty, for it to be embedded mode.

Other than that I can only suggest to get the newest version of Proton-GE and build it yourself, and see if that has an effect.

[shadowfly]

When i run

Code: Select all

shadowfly $ gamescope-session-plus glxgears

in a new tty, the monitor looses signal for a second, then the tty returns:

Code: Select all

shadowfly $ gamescope-session-plus glxgears
Claimed global gamescope stats session at "/run/user/1000/gamescope-stats"

Also the graphical tty somehow switches from tty-1 to tty-2.


Directly running

Code: Select all

shadowfly $ gamescope -- glxgears

in a new tty displays glxgears, but

Code: Select all

shadowfly $ gamescope -- flatpak run com.valvesoftware.Steam

freezes the tty and starts steam in the graphical session. I guess this is only useful in combination with native Steam like here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OX03k4pkMkI.

Also, even if it would work, it is just as inconvenient as the thing i currently do: Signing out of Wayland and signing into X11.

I also tried to compile my own GE-Proton, but the only thing i achieved was breaking my Podman installation. Somehow it does not compile, which is propably not too big of a problem because GE-Proton9-9 is only three days old.

[squeaktoy]

I ran into the same error, but after some SearXing I found an obscure Reddit post that hid a gem that fixes this issue for me.

First of all, you don't need to use native gamescope.

Code: Select all

flatpak install org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.gamescope

and select the 23.08 version.

In Steam game properties, set the launch options to:

Code: Select all

PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 gamescope -e --expose-wayland -g -W 1920 -H 1080 -f -- %command%

Now the game runs. One big issue still is that whenever I switch workspaces and back, the game becomes "minimized" into the top left corner of the gamescope window and I cannot maximize it ever again, so I need to kill the game and restart.
Would be really awesome if someone can help me figure this out.

[shadowfly]

My configuration:

Code: Select all

shadowfly $ flatpak list | grep gamescope
gamescope       org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.gamescope  3.14.22 23.08   flathub user

Lauch options:

Code: Select all

PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 gamescope -e --expose-wayland -g -W 2560 -H 1440 -f -- %command%

Baldur's Gate 3 - DX11:
The game starts without error messages. Unfortunately the graphics are off - most of the screen is black, and i can see outlines and rainbow colored objects in the distance.

Baldur's Gate 3 - Vulkan:
The game crashes without displaying a image.

Scorn - DX12:
The game crashes without displaying a image.
