HDR Support

Is there any plans for dedicated HDR support on the oled model - while adding directly to steam as a non-steam game works for some games, trying to do that with the new guardians of the galaxy results in a pop up saying "please launch with epic launcher" - so Im unable to take advantage of HDR - its not a big deal but would be nice if anyone had a workaround or there's a plan in the work to get this up and running

Have you tried WINEDLLOVERRIDES=amd_ags_x64=b?

xenogeneic-maroon•2y ago

and DXVK_HDR=1

environmental-roseOP•2y ago

OH THANK YOU! 😄 Ill ive them a try - what if Im added multiple wineDLLoverrides such as with fsr3 And would I do this in steam or heroric launcher This activates it but the colours are washed out - the screen isn't detecting that it's suppose to be doing HDR as It doesn't show on my deck This activates it but the colours are washed out - the screen isn't detecting that it's suppose to be doing HDR as It doesn't show on my deck

xenogeneic-maroon•2y ago

run it in game mode

environmental-roseOP•2y ago

I am ^^ I am*

xenogeneic-maroon•2y ago

then it should be working you added the steam shortcut and are running it through steam right?

environmental-roseOP•2y ago

Yeah. It's running via heroric though steam in game mode

adverse-sapphire•2y ago

post a game log

correct-apricot•2y ago

As far as I'm aware, it's not working, but they're working on it. You can use Heroic to install, then jump through a bunch of hoops to run it via Steam, but running the flatpak will not work. https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/issues/3281#issuecomment-1884690147

xenogeneic-maroon•2y ago

Oh right Flatpak is containerized You can't access the HDR stuff that steam os has

eager-peach•2y ago

This PR should fix it: https://github.com/flathub/com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl/pull/115

This should get HDR working while in Gamescope (Steam Deck Gaming Mode)

eager-peach•2y ago

I will merge it soon The build was updated, can you guys update heroic and try again?

deep-jade•2y ago

Sorry I'm quite new to this, is this an update via discover?

eager-peach•2y ago

yes, will show as 2.12 refresh because it is just a small update on the app manifest

deep-jade•2y ago

Ah ok, lemme double-check with Tetris Effect. Hmm still not working for me sadly!

eager-peach•2y ago

yeah we will continue to investigate it

adverse-sapphire•2y ago

did you set the two environment variables above?

deep-jade•2y ago

Oh sorry, I havent, is there a tutorial for adding these? Sorry again, very new!

adverse-sapphire•2y ago

here and here I think in the Advanced tab, there's a setting for Environment Variables

deep-jade•2y ago

Ok added those and still not working, do I need to load something or should just adding them be enough

adverse-sapphire•2y ago

all the documentation I had seen was related to those env vars I don't have an OLED, so I'm pretty much at my limit sorry

eager-peach•2y ago

@ZoomyRamen on the game settings can you toggle on the Prefer system libraries setting?

deep-jade•2y ago

No worries! Thanks for trying! One mo Which setting is this sorry

unwilling-turquoise•2y ago

Prefer system libraries

deep-jade•2y ago

I can't see the option unfortunately

unwilling-turquoise•2y ago

it should be in game settings don't remember which tab

deep-jade•2y ago

I can't find anything about system libraries Oh is it use steam runtime? With that enabled it just doesn't run in game mode

unwilling-turquoise•2y ago

nope

adverse-sapphire•2y ago

It’s in the other or advanced tab. I also forget which

foreign-sapphire•2y ago

note that we only render that option if wine-ge, we hide it for proton or the system wine it should be in the Other tab

deep-jade•2y ago

Ahhh this'll be it thanks One moment I'll check this Unfortunately it's still a no go!

adverse-sapphire•2y ago

can you post an updated log, in case it may shed some light?

deep-jade•2y ago

Sure thing

deep-jade•2y ago

This is for Tetris effect itsel

deep-jade•2y ago

And for heroic

the key is supposed to be the stuff before the first = sign not something you name yourself

statutory-emerald•2y ago

To put it more clearly. First key is DXVK_HDR with its value being 1 and second key is WINEDLLOVERRIDES with its value being amd_ags_x64=b

deep-jade•2y ago

Ohhhh ok Sorry Total idiot at this stuff Lemme try again Still no dice! I'll send through the logs again in a moment

adverse-sapphire•2y ago

are you test running in game mode? iirc, the Deck OLED only has HDR active in game mode

deep-jade•2y ago

Yeah only mode I've tested it in

equal-jade•2y ago

You need to install flatpak gamescope, reinstall latest Heroic Games Launcher, reset it's permissions in the flatseal (if you made any adjustments earlier). After this HDR should work with Wine-GE without any environment variables

eager-peach•2y ago

are you sure reinstalling HEroic is needed? maybe only need to go to Settings > advanced > reset Heroic, this is like a new clean install

equal-jade•2y ago

I'm not sure, but when you said that you've updated the flatpak with new metadata (xdg-run/gamescope-0) i couldn't update the package and I don't think I had updated to this release already. Maybe it had been flatseal messing my permissions, as the my final step was resetting HGL to default in the flatseal (even after reinstall) I didn't want to clean the installation but fix the permissions for connecting to the gamescope. Reinstall wasn't enough in my case And I've been putting various overrides there while testing

eager-peach•2y ago

yeah, in this case a new install was ideal at least you wont lose the downloaded games when uninstalling

deep-jade•2y ago

I'll try this and report back! Hmmm heroic is saying it can't find gamescope, will this affect anything? I think maybe Tetris Effect is a special sorta busted because it didn't work even with the gamescope from @m3e comment on GitHub

xenogeneic-maroon•2y ago

yes if it can't find gamescope it won't work also i don't think heroic enables hdr on gamescope yet and also running gamescope inside gamescope guarantees a non working hdr and absolultey trash input lag so tldr is don't use gamescope in heroic

deep-jade•2y ago

Some people are reporting they've got HDR working with heroic so I just dunno if it's Tetris Effect I've installed the gamescope that they were using and it's still greyed out

xenogeneic-maroon•2y ago

can you show me the game directory in dolphin (the file explorer)

equal-jade•2y ago

It's not running nested gamescope, but is required to make HDR work on the steam deck Do you have Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy? It's been free on the EGS last week, and is working correctly with this setup

deep-jade•2y ago

I think I've installed stuff one too many times, what's the best way to clean up gamescopes/heroic game launcher and basically start fresh

equal-jade•2y ago

Have you been using flatseal to modify permissions for the Heroic?

deep-jade•2y ago

Nah Should I do that?

equal-jade•2y ago

it's not needed now you can remove Heroic and install it again after that go to Settings > advanced > reset Heroic

deep-jade•2y ago

When I've gone to install the gamescope version it says there's two, should I install the latest?

equal-jade•2y ago

are you installing it via discovery store or terminal?

deep-jade•2y ago

Terminal, using the command you posted on GitHub

equal-jade•2y ago

use sudo and install it for system sudo flatpak install flathub org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.gamescope/x86_64/23.08

deep-jade•2y ago

Ok awesome let me try it. Thanks for all your help Should auto install/update VKD3D be enabled?

equal-jade•2y ago

yes default options are fine and use wine-ge instead of the proton also remove prefix you've used before you can remove entire prefix directory and let Heroic create new one on first launch

deep-jade•2y ago

Will it do that when I reset heroic or is there a specific thing to do that

equal-jade•2y ago

no, you have to remove it manually /home/deck/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Tetris Effect Connected this is the folder you've been using before

deep-jade•2y ago

Ok I'll delete the prefix directory to get as clean as possible

equal-jade•2y ago

Removing a prefix is generally a safe operation. Just remember to backup your saves, because, depending on game, saves can be kept inside of a prefix.

deep-jade•2y ago

Thankfully I've only been entering checking hdr and quitting haha Yeah so I think Tetris Effect is a special busted because it just ain't working even after a complete fresh install

equal-jade•2y ago

can you post your lastplay log?

deep-jade•2y ago

Ok I think I've found the issue looking at the logs For some reason it's not running as DX12 game It's running as DX11 which doesn't support HDR seemingly

equal-jade•2y ago

add this as command line argument: '-d3d12' it should be in the same place where you set environment variables for games inside the Heroic

deep-jade•2y ago

deep-jade•2y ago

HDR is on boys Maybe a point for any future heroic updates Needs to be some forced DX12 enabling I think they dropped an update for the steam deck version that fixed this but it wasn't deployed to the EGS one Ok so the colours are washed out, so it's not quite there yet but at least one issue is resolved that it's to do with DX12

equal-jade•2y ago

can you post the logs here?

correct-apricot•2y ago

My understanding of the situation is now: Gamescope is required for HDR on SteamDeck. SteamDeck's Gamescope is a system level service that flatpak cannot access. To get HDR, HGL needs to wrap whatever game in its own Gamescope instance. If you run a game via Steam's gamemode (aka the default SteamDeck UI), then you're double wrapping the game but you will have HDR.

equal-jade•2y ago

I'm not sure if are running the separate gamescope instance rather just attaching to the Deck's gamescope session

deep-jade•2y ago

here you go

Tetris_effect_with_H...

equal-jade•2y ago

As the performance, lag, etc. is the same

correct-apricot•2y ago

If you haven't measured it, you don't know that. If it was using the system gamescope, why do you need to install a flatpak for it?

equal-jade•2y ago

dependencies, access, etc?

correct-apricot•2y ago

I'm more interested in definitive answers. I want to know exactly what's going on here and not guesses.

equal-jade•2y ago

I don't have the Deck on me, but if that's the case, then it should work in the Desktop mode too can you even run multiple gamescope instances? this log looks ok to me :/ Do you have HDR next to the brightness slider on deck's quick menu? If so, then the HDR implementation in this game may be borked :/

deep-jade•2y ago

Tbh I think that's the case
