Gamemode no display
Running games via desktop works fine, they load into the game menus with audio.
Running the same games in gamemode, will display a continuous steam loading menu while ALSO playing the game menu audio, it just never loads the display.
I am currently using ULWGL-proton-8.0-5-3 but have also tried with proton experimental to the same results.
It is also not a specific game as i have done this same process with another bunch of games from various stores (gog, epic, amazon & custom games)
Here is the list i have tried so far with the same results:
Graveyard keeper (custom)
Control (epic)
Death Stranding (epic)
hell is other demons (epic)
star wars (epic)
oxygen not included (custom)
red dead redemption (custom)
sonic mania (epic)
tales of the neon sea (amazon)

can you post a game log please? i'm very invested in this bug in particular
To help you, we need a game log. Please see the following images on how to get it.

here is the log file from control
it does show some errors but it DOES run fine as i said in desktop mode, just not gaming
national-gold•5mo ago
please do the following, run the game, and submit a new log:
remove the environment variable for dx11
download proton-ge from Heroic's wine manager and change to it
turn on UMU
add these environment variables:
WINEDEBUG=+fixme
DXVK_LOG_LEVEL=info
VKD3D_DEBUG=fixme
also turn off the following options:
use steam runtime
eac
battleye
gamemode
some of this is for clarity, but the use steam runtime one absolutely should be off
sunny-greenOP•5mo ago
where do we configure UMU?
& is this applicable to all my titles or specifically control ?
national-gold•5mo ago
let's focus on control for now
umu:

sunny-greenOP•5mo ago
yep, those changes work for control
though i also reinstalled herioic so maybe that helped
national-gold•5mo ago
they do??
oh, i'm so bummed out, that didn't work at all for me lol
you can take out the environment variables
those are just for logging

Turn off DXVK-NVAPI
sunny-greenOP•5mo ago
okay i applied these changes to every instance and that seems to have fixed it, they all load from game-mode as expected.
Thankyou for your time
national-gold•5mo ago
you're welcome
i'm happy to save someone else from a fate that i cannot escape
sunny-greenOP•5mo ago

national-gold•5mo ago

@Rayman
excuse the ping, but will you swap to desktop mode and confirm if you have the following setting on in Settings -> Downloads?
sunny-greenOP•5mo ago
Yes I do have this setting enabled via steam in desktop mode
Here is also the logfile for my control config which is currently working in case it’s any help to you

national-gold•5mo ago
replace the O with 0 (o's with zeros)
what happens if you turn that setting off?
sunny-greenOP•5mo ago
It reimplements the same issue in gamemode. I can hear the game but it’s perpetually loading
continuing-cyan•5mo ago
"autoInstallDxvkNvapi": true,sunny-greenOP•5mo ago
I have just returned that setting back on and it’s loading fully without issue now
continuing-cyan•5mo ago
you don't have an nvidia GPU, disable this
national-gold•5mo ago
thank you!
sunny-greenOP•5mo ago

Reinstalled, deleted all my prefixes, reimport all my library, loads fine in desktop, go to gamemode, no sound or video permanent loading
same issue on wine GE & proton GE
and to make it even worse, now 70% of my amazon library just doesnt even show up, relogged like 5 times
