HDR enabled on monitor, not available in games
I just installed bazzite on my main pc and I enabled and configured hdr on both of my monitors, but when I play games, the hdr option in the games I play is grayed out and set to "off"
Is there something more i should be doing to enable hdr in games?
Here are some updates when it comes to my computer:

I'm playing the games on the G85SD

One thing I saw was someone on ProtonDB said something about Steam Input being the culprit, but I don't know.
You can either use proton ge 10+ with
PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 %command% in the launch options or use gamescope with: gamescope --hdr-enabled -- %command%. For gamescope you would still need to set the other flags. (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Gamescope)
Oh and you need to use protonup to install the ge proton to steam and set that as the compatibility option.would proton-ge latest work?
Yes. wayland + hdr is supported since ge 10-1.
I put in the proton_enable stuff but now my game opens up on the wrong monitor
though the HDR switch is now active
There's an extra launch option for that. Might take me a minute to find
oh okay
"whatever your primary is works as well"?
Do
kscreen-doctor -o to identify the port for the monitor you want it to show up on.DP being the display port I suppose
Yes. You're looking for the identifier
I tried putting in the DP-# that's on mine but the window still opens in the wrong monitor
Since the wayland folks are still bickering how to implement primary monitor, it will take some time before this will "just work"
dang. Its so weird because before today It just opened on the right monitor no problem
Yeah that was what the other guy was experiencing too with hdr flag: https://discord.com/channels/1072614816579063828/1387811191413276803
so I deleted the
PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 %command%and the game is opening on the correct monitor nowYou should also be able to switch an active window with meta-shift-arrowkey. Not sure if this still works though, haven't had a multi monitor setup in a while
hmmm
I'll give it a check
I tried switching it to the other window. It moved, but all the resolutions were built for the initial monitor, which is a 4k monitor, and the primary is a 1440 ultrawide
😦 Can you show me the output you get from kscreen-doctor and the launch arguments you use? It would be weird that it works for them, but not for you.
how do I use kscreen-doctor?
oh wait sorry, I'm a little frazzled. Here we go:

You need DP-2 for the 1440 p one
let's give it another go
does it matter where in the launch options it goes?
I'm not sure
nope it still launched on the 4k one
i haven't used gamescope. Haven't really looked into doing that yet :Tikthink:
:(. Try
gamescope -f --hdr-enabled -w 3440 -h 1440 -- %command% That should give you fullscreen on max resshould this be on top of everything else?
no that should be the full launch option
okay let's see...
looks like it allowed me to turn on hdr
on the correct monitor
Nice. just fyi if you want to start it windowed you need -W and -H to define the window size instead of -f. If you want to use mangohud with gamescope you need to add --mangoapp. You always need the -- at the end of the gamescope flags
if I don't want to define the size at all, where should I put the "--"
gamescope -f --hdr-enabled -- %command% ?
-f is full screen. -w (x) -h ()y sets the render resolution, -W (x) -H (y) sets the display resolution. If you don't specify the render resolition, it will default to whatever the resolution on the steamdeck is.
You can use scopebuddy and scopebuddygui to more easily manage gamescope settings
