But when disable my secondary screen, everything works. Someone can help me to fix it ?

So : someone suggested to use gamescope in heroic game launcher, but... It just doesn't work I tried with "new wrapper" as : gamescope com.valvesoftware.Steam.Utility.gamescope org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.gamescope with many arguments : -f -w 1920 -h 1080 -W 3440 -H 1440 -b gamescope -w 1920 -h 1080 -W 3440 -H 1440 -b org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.gamescope -w 1920 -h 1080 -W 3440 -H 1440 -b etc, etc

Did you restart Heroic after installing gamescope?

other-emeraldOP•2y ago

Yes, many times...

xenophobic-harlequin•2y ago

Hmm, did you install gamescope at both the system and user level or just one level (I forget which one is needed, I just installed it on both for flatpak)

other-emeraldOP•2y ago

Don't really know how to see that ^

xenophobic-harlequin•2y ago

When you do flatpak install, they should ask system or user install

other-emeraldOP•2y ago

Hi ! So I tried and is indead installed on flatpak

genetic-orange•2y ago

Did you put the -- at the end of the Gamescope arguments?

other-emeraldOP•2y ago

no, why I should ?

genetic-orange•2y ago

Yes, it's required by Gamescope.

other-emeraldOP•2y ago

Now I just don't have anything displayed ^ I have music and stuff, but no image

genetic-orange•2y ago

What are your gamescope arguments?

other-emeraldOP•2y ago

Same thing with -f

genetic-orange•2y ago

Try setting a nested with and height? (-w and -h to whatever geometry you want)

other-emeraldOP•2y ago

Yes I already did : -w 1920 -h 1080 -W 3440 -H 1440 -b --

genetic-orange•2y ago

Have you tried without an output width and height?

other-emeraldOP•2y ago

Without an output ?

genetic-orange•2y ago

Without -W and -H.

other-emeraldOP•2y ago

Oh, yes, I did But the same issue : no display, only sounds

genetic-orange•2y ago

Strange. Is it the correct monitor, at least? 😛

other-emeraldOP•2y ago

Yes x'D

genetic-orange•2y ago

That's good, at least.

other-emeraldOP•2y ago

If I have nothing happens except sound, I can't tell if it's the good monitor ^^

other-emeraldOP•2y ago

genetic-orange•2y ago

Why, do they both go black?

other-emeraldOP•2y ago

And the cinematic running, but I have no window Nope, they are just doing nothing

other-emeraldOP•2y ago

And it is the same when it's launched But if i don't put gamescope, it works, but on the wrong screen

other-emeraldOP•2y ago

I put the log, maybe it can help :

It runs on Mesa + AMD or Intel, and could be made to run on other Mesa/DRM drivers with minimal work. AMD requires Mesa 20.3+, Intel requires Mesa 21.2+. For NVIDIA's proprietary driver, version 515.43.04+ is required (make sure the nvidia-drm.modeset=1 kernel parameter is set).

From gamescope readme Post this output inxi -SMGxx

xenophobic-harlequin•2y ago

You made sure it is installed under a system flatpak and a user flatpak?

other-emeraldOP•2y ago

How can I check it ?

other-emeraldOP•2y ago

Like that ?

ambitious-aqua•2y ago

No In terminal You put that, hit enter and give output

other-emeraldOP•2y ago

command not found, I do an apt install inxi ?

ambitious-aqua•2y ago

Yes

" Screen-1: 0 s-res: 5360x1440 s-dpi: 109" it's weird, I don't have this resolution

xenophobic-harlequin•2y ago

I remember when I was trying to get bottles to detect gamescope, I installed both user and system and it was identified

other-emeraldOP•2y ago

It's only installed as user

xenophobic-harlequin•2y ago

I don't remember which one I installed that fixed but if I had to guess, user is default installation So I'd assume system is the one, but I'd keep both anyway

other-emeraldOP•2y ago

How can I install it as system ? I try with my root session, but it doesn't work

ambitious-aqua•2y ago

Res doesn't matter what matters is you are missing modesetting. But more importantly before dealing with gamescope and kernel parameters you should probably try wayland.

other-emeraldOP•2y ago

I think i'm already on wayland It's by default on popos

ambitious-aqua•2y ago

Log out from your current user session; in log in screen you should be able to select wayland. Nope, it says X11 in your output.

other-emeraldOP•2y ago

Oh, ok I try it I don't have choice :/

ambitious-aqua•2y ago

Hmm, it seems they hide it behind some flags and stuff https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/700938/enable-wayland-in-popos-22-04/701229#701229

other-emeraldOP•2y ago

"Got to /etc/gdm3/custom.conf and set WaylandEnable=true then run sudo systemctl restart gdm3 in terminal." Yep', I followed the same guide ^^

ambitious-aqua•2y ago

So does it show up now?

other-emeraldOP•2y ago

No, I only have basic options and my session to log in PC Doesn't show up after the reboot

ambitious-aqua•2y ago

Arch wiki says you must have nvidia-drm.modeset=1 for that to show up in gdm

other-emeraldOP•2y ago

maybe it will be the same for a ubuntu based ?

ambitious-aqua•2y ago

Yep

other-emeraldOP•2y ago

Which file I have to modify for this one ?

ambitious-aqua•2y ago

ambitious-aqua•2y ago

sudo kernelstub -a "nvidia_drm.modeset=1" Pc restart is required btw inb4 my pc blew up 🐸

other-emeraldOP•2y ago

I had a little wheel and I choosed "POP on Wayland" dafuq ? xD

xenophobic-harlequin•2y ago

hmmm, one user said gamescope worked fine in x11, forget which one

other-emeraldOP•2y ago

Wayland worked !

other-emeraldOP•2y ago

ambitious-aqua•2y ago

👍

other-emeraldOP•2y ago

Thanks a lot ! for your patience and your help ! 🙂

xenophobic-harlequin•2y ago

Wayland is nice, although you do miss some things, like if you use global keybinds (the PR was merged a while back, still awaiting applications to implement it), keep in mind they won't work, and I use wayland and would've said to switch to it but someone said gamescope does work on x11 and the error said gamescope binary was not found from the last log I saw I am glad you got it figured out and hope wayland works fine for your workflow

other-emeraldOP•2y ago

I hope too ^^ I don't really use global keybinds (except on my mouse)

xenophobic-harlequin•2y ago

and until applications implement global keybinds, if they do provide cli commands to do it, most DEs do allow custom shortcuts

other-emeraldOP•2y ago

--- Issue : Heroic Game Launcher started the game Kingdom Come Deliverance on wrong monitor and I couldn't just move it because it locked the resolution on 1940x1080 max My display was on X11 and I switched it on Wayland (you can find how to do on PopOS just above) ---

ambitious-aqua•2y ago

Yw 👍 As a note X never ever handled multimonitor gracefully

other-emeraldOP•2y ago

Didn't know that ^^

xenophobic-harlequin•2y ago

Yeah, doesn't it just see 2 monitors as one big screen

other-emeraldOP•2y ago

Oooh ok 😄

xenophobic-harlequin•2y ago

I'm not stating that, I am asking as I know in something like xrandr (I think it was), It'd say screen 0 and be like 3000x??? (I only have 1680x1050 and 1920x1080, so that's how I came to my question/assumption)

other-emeraldOP•2y ago

I think it's that, because I have 2 screens : main on 3440x1440 and second on 1920x1080, and it detected 5000+

ambitious-aqua•2y ago

Yep, that is also why it can't handle mixed refresh rates

other-emeraldOP•2y ago

True that I have a 60hz + a 144hz

xenophobic-harlequin•2y ago

Ah, wonder why it did that approach? oh, so you were stuck to 60hz on both on x11?

other-emeraldOP•2y ago

Not really, i just messed up some things

xenophobic-harlequin•2y ago

other-emeraldOP•2y ago

Only thing left for this game is to find a fix to a gliched DLC, but at least, I can finally play it 😄

xenophobic-harlequin•2y ago

Ye!

other-emeraldOP•2y ago

Damn, wayland helps for my issue, but in all games, my mouse is invisible xD

xenophobic-harlequin•2y ago

Hmmm, I know games hide it but typically not in the menu

other-emeraldOP•2y ago

Yep', but it's a little annoying in games like LoL where you don't know where you click

xenophobic-harlequin•2y ago

Hmm, wonder if it is linux client bug or smth
