Running gamescope in X11 error?
I am having trouble running gamescope when in X11. I have no issues if I use Wayland from sddm. When using X11 this is printed. The problem is some of the software I use won't run in wayland even when fallback to x11 is selected in flatseal so I stick to x11.

is Gamescope wayland only? Search results are showing me the opposite with people asking is there going to be a Gamescope style software for wayland
Thanks!
I'm pretty sure Gamescope works on both X11 and Wayland. I'll test it locally.
Interesting. Gamescope created a nested Wayland session (I think?) under GNOME Xorg. After I switch to GNOME and switched back to GNOME Xorg, I can reproduce this problem.
I should add I am using KDE plasma so it impacts both Gnome and Plasma.
I'm thinking of disabling Gamescope on Xorg, to be honest. I've done a couple of testing and it works unreliably.
It's working fine for me in X11,~~the only gamescope problem I have is mangohud doesn't work and FSR doesn't work if gamescope is disabled.~~
So if gamescope is disabled on X11 then I can't use FSR or modify resolution on games that refuse to use the lower one.
Can't use wayland either because on the Aya Neo Air Pro handheld PC, steam desktop mode doesn't work on KDE, mapping the mouse cursor to the analog sticks is broken so can't use the controls to navigate the desktop.

How did you install MangoHud and Bottles? You're supposed to have this command.

AUR, using mangohud-git and bottles-git.
I like testing things to report bugs.
It seems like mangohud-git does not provide mangoapp, so it fails to launch. It's why we only support Flatpak.
Not a problem, I'm sure there's a mangoapp in the AUR that'll make it work. I've only had terrible experiences with flatpak integrating with things I install from AUR so I stick with one. :smiley:
Fair enough. And yeah, I just checked and there's a PKGBUILD in the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mangoapp.
Just installed it and a bit of troubleshooting and mangohud works in gamescope.
I'll cross that out of my post.
Not related but just wanted to mention that gamescope works for me and FSR doesn't work without it enabled since I was worried it'll be disabled in X11.

Now my question would be how come it works for you in X11 but not for us? I also cannot stick to Wayland so it would be ideal to get this working in X11.

More information about my setup to hopefully help troubleshoot this :smile:
My package from the AUR is gamescope-git, I'm always up to date with latest git changes, bugs and all.
Using the 5825U with it's Vega iGPU, haven't tested it on my Nvidia machine yet since it's running stable diffusion, might be worth looking to see if Nvidia has issues.
I have had the same issue you're having previously but restarting bottles fixed it for me, haven't had it since though.
I see... I've heard in many places that Gamescope seems to not work well on X11, and I can confirm based on my testing and your experience with it. I'm considering hiding this feature on X11 altogether.
I'm not well versed with how Gamescope works internally; I only know how to use it. I don't think I can troubleshoot anything.
Maybe make it an experimental feature on X11 that users can enable with a warning that bug reports won't be accepted with it enabled?
To me, the term experimental implies that it's something we'd like users to test and submit feedback, which is not something we want at all. I'd say a toggle "Hidden Features" would fit better. But even then, having a toggle that reveals Gamescope on X11 would mean that we'd have to do the same thing with everything we have hidden. I am not too fond of that.
I'm not fond of footguns. If it doesn't work, it shouldn't be exposed at all.
It does work, for unknown reasons, not for everyone on X11. Should those that it currently works for lose a feature?
@jannuary it's situational and unpredictable. But again, if we make one feature reveal behind a toggle, then we'll have to do the same with everything else, which I'm not okay with doing that.
I finally got to test gamescope on my Nvidia machine and I get the same error.

Nothing definite but this might be a Nvidia issue, I'm using the proprietary drivers.

I am also using proprietary drivers. I was hoping others with more knowledge in Linux than myself could help out. I'm still new to Linux.
I'm using a 3080 and can use gamescope outside of flatpak on x11. I have gamescope installed through pacman and also through flatpak. If I launch a game from bottles with gamescope enabled it doesn't work. If I open a terminal and run "gamescope vkcube" it works. Maybe it's a flatpak issue?
its not a flatpak issue as this happens with manually compiled gamescope as well.
I managed to get gamescope working on nvidia proprietary driver on x11. I'm using dwm on debian sid.
I built gamescope myself using this command:
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope
cd gamescope
mkdir build
cd build
meson setup -Dprefix=$HOME/.local/gamescope -Dwlroots:backends=x11,drm,libinput -Dwlroots:renderers=gles2,vulkan ..
ninja
ninja install
After adding $HOME/.local/gamescope/bin to $PATH, I can run games just fine. Here is the log

In my case it was a dependency issue and it also required adding the build folder to PATH like @wsy2220 did, unfortunately I don't remember the details anymore. After resolving those issues gamescope worked like a charm.
