unfortunately gamescope does only work on linux.
i wrote a guide on using it on linux with heroic (the first part / as argument in heroic / is outdated though).

Thanks for the reply. Where can I access your guide ?

I don't know if it's the same guide, but there is one on the Heroic wiki.

I tried it but couldn't get it to work.

What did you try?
And how was the result not what you expected? What is your goal in using Gamescope?

My goal is to run Mafia Definitive edition in 800x600 to get more fps and use FSR since the game doesn't offer that resolution. I tried adding environment variable as in the attached image. The result that the resolution doesn't change and confirmed by mangohud

You need to use the "wrapper" function, not variables.

this is exactly what is outdated, try the other method starting heroic through gamescope itself (proton / wine ge does not offer FSR anymore which makes this the only solution of getting fsr on all in your library)
at least for me.

I just tried this and the game doesn't open

Omit the
-W 800 and -H 600 arguments. If that doesn't work, check the logs for errors.unwilling-turquoise•3y ago
GDK_BACKEND=wayland gamescope -w 800 -h 600 -f -Y -R --RT --force-grab-cursor --prefer-vk-device --adaptive-sync --sharpness 15 -- /opt/Heroic/heroic --ozone-platform=x11 --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform,WaylandWindowDecorations --use-angle=vulkan

Should I put this in wrapper function?

konsole
change /opt/Heroic/heroic depending where your heroic is
optimistic-gold•3y ago
@Ahmed That's for running Heroic itself via Gamescope.
metropolitan-bronzeOP•3y ago
I tried but still no luck and the log shows no errors
unwilling-turquoise•3y ago
exactly, its the only solution running for me currently

It worked thanks a lot
i got an answer on reddit that says if you have flatpak heroic you should install flatpak gamescope and i just tried it and it works
continuing-cyan•3y ago
you should have said that you were using flatpak
but it's fine now, at least you figured it out
