Same here. I tried every command and I got in the game but my inputs were not working. Edit: i don't know why but "gamemoderun" made it to run and without it, game won't launch. Edit2: I didn't know I have to put -e option for steam integration. Input works now.

that worked! weird that the game only launches with gamemode activated

gamemoderun stopped the crashing on startup.

the same happens with fall guys without gamemoderun. maybe the issue has to do with the Proton EAC Runtime?

It could be but the annoying thing is after 24 mins a bug kicks in and games start to stutter heavly.

I've noticed Apex Legends also crashes whenever I add a command prefix (mangohud, as an example), even it's not gamescope. So I think this issue has to do with the EAC Proton Runtime rather than with gamescope

I've posted more details on Apex Legend's Proton repo issue

I don't think it run gamemoderun gamescope -w 1920 -h 1080 -r 90 -f -- mangohud %command%. I still get 144fps and mango hub show dxvk instead of gamescope

Today I noticed that the gamemoderun trick is no longer working, last night it worked, I've tried in Apex and New World. At least for mangohud removed all exec from config, got it working.

Perhaps this will help people getting the game to run or help the devs fix the issue with apex. The issue is related to LD_PRELOAD, i can successfully run the game with gamescope -- env LD_PRELOAD="$LD_PRELOAD" %command%

LD_PRELOAD="" doesn't work.

Perhaps @emersion @Joshua-Ashton can shed some light on what may be wrong.

I'm currently getting a similar issue where eac launches, then I hear the game for a couple of seconds then it instantly closes.

Im using

Gamescope -H 1080 -e -f %command%

Anyone else experienced this issue?

I have a rx 6700, using KDE plasma 5.27.7

Then if I try and launch it again it will sit on running until I kill gamescope in the background

KDE Plasma 5.27.9 KDE Frameworks 5.111.0 Qt 5.15.11 Kernel 6.6.0-1-MANJARO Wayland AMD 6800XT GPU

I'm having this issue as well. It only happens on Wayland, not on X11 or with any other game that I've played on Wayland.

I am unable to get gamescope running with Apex at all in steam. The EAC and game window pops up the first run then nothing happens after that, just says it's running in steam.

I've tried GE versions of proton but no change.

@sclayton33 I was able to launch the game with gamescope but i got the same behavior same as you on first try. On my first attempt i used gamescope -H 1080 -e -f -- %command% .

Then I launched the game without gamescope to see if my system got another issue and it was working as expected so no issues so far.

Lastly I tried gamescope again with gamescope -H 1080 -W 1920 -h 1080 -w 1920 -e -f -- %command% and it worked.

I don't know if this will work for you and my blind guess is this is related to game's resolution not being set correctly. That's because I tried some weird resolutions in the past with gamescope for this game and it didn't work at all.
