# Notes related to gayming
|
|
|
|
_A lot of older files that I haven't touched recently were moved to this
|
|
directory. I don't think anyone was using them, so I am not afraid of breaking
|
|
links._

## Wayland / Sway
|
|
|
|
### Issues and solutions
|
|
|
|
#### Constant camera rotation
|
|
|
|
Reload Sway in-game, `$Mod+Shift+C` and it should stop.
|
|
|
|
#### Cursor doesn't stick to game window
|
|
|
|
Run the game with `gamescope`.
|
|
|
|
Steam? Edit launch options for the game (second click, properties, general,
|
|
launch options):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
gamescope --steam --borderless -- %command%
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See also `gamescope --help`
|
|
|
|
- `--steam` - enables Steam integration, whatever that is
|
|
- `--borderless` borderless full-screen mode (that Sway may be making windowed
|
|
though)
|
|
|
|
##### Graphics corruption such as display full of black dots
|
|
|
|
When the previous launch options cause this,
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
INTEL_DEBUG=norbc gamescope --steam --borderless -- %command%
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
I saw this advice at
|
|
[gamescope#356](https://github.com/Plagman/gamescope/issues/356) which says
|
|
it's tracked at
|
|
[freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa#6029](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/6029).
|
|
|
|
#### Steam client itself is laggy
|
|
|
|
Close/logoff friends window/network or disable its animations.

## Fedora Atomic
|
|
|
|
_Means Fedora Kinoite unless otherwise specified._ Read also
|
|
[aminda.eu/n/essentialsoftware](https://aminda.eu/n/essentialsoftware) which
|
|
may cross-reference here.
|
|
|
|
### Heroic Games flatpak
|
|
|
|
- When asked for Steam flatpak location, it's
|
|
`~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/data/Steam`. The `data/Steam` confuses
|
|
me too.
|
|
- No input in Skyrim Special Edition GOG? Try quitting Steam. That may also
|
|
affect other games (KH:MoM didn't care whether Steam was running or not).
|
|
- Gamescope and Mangohud installed, but not found? Pay attention to their
|
|
branch, at the time of writing they want branch `23.08`.
|
|
- Remember the dualslash shortpaw!
|
|
`sudo flatpak install flathub org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.MangoHud//23.08 org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.gamescope//23.08`
|
|
|
|
#### Actually using gamescope
|
|
|
|
Having gamescope and mangohud installed and found? That is not enough to use
|
|
it.
|
|
|
|
> It's weird. You have to check the "enable upscaling" box, then set "Game
|
|
> Width" and "Game Height", but leave "Upscale {Width,Height}" empty.
|
|
|
|
- [`@rtxn@lemmy.world`](https://lemmy.world/u/rtxn) on
|
|
[How the heck do I get gamescope working with Heroic Games Launcher?](https://rimworld.gallery/m/linux_gaming@lemmy.world/t/2882/How-the-heck-do-I-get-gamescope-working-with-Heroic/comment/20433#entry-comment-20433)
|
|
|
|
Same page may have hinted me on the branch version numbers, but I lost the
|
|
source for that.
|
|
|
|
### Steam flatpak
|
|
|
|
See also above and below. Remember to
|
|
`sudo flatpak install flathub com.valvesoftware.Steam.CompatibilityTool.Proton-GE`
|
|
and in Steam settings find the checkbox to make everything run with
|
|
compatibility tool `Proton GE (flatpak)`.
|
|
|
|
### Steam Deck
|
|
|
|
If using Fedora Kinoite, life may be easier by making symlinks to autostart
|
|
the gayming apps on login
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
mkdir -p ~/.config/autostart/
|
|
ln -nsfv /var/lib/flatpak/exports/bin/com.valvesoftware.Steam ~/.config/autostart/
|
|
ln -nsfv /var/lib/flatpak/exports/bin/com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl ~/.config/autostart/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Visit Steam settings to enable launching in big picture mode and Heroic Games
|
|
Launcher settings to start minimized.
