Helldivers 2 - black window

shumvgolove commented 2 months ago

Software:

niri: 0.1.7
xwayland-satellite: 0.4
xwayland: 24.1.1

Issue

Running Helldivers 2 with any proton version results in black window. Running Helldivers 2 in Sway (without xwayland-satellite) works perfectly fine.

Interesting thing: switching display mode in Helldivers 2 from Fullscreen to Borderless window in Sway session allows the game to display properly in Niri with xwayland-satellite. Strangely, switching display mode back to Fullscreen in Niri session works fine until losing focus on the game (e.g. opening terminal/browser), which results in a black window.

Logs

Nothing interesting at the first glance, but this seems relevant. res_id: 69206017 is the game window.

Hmm, upon further testing I think this is Niri issue: running the game directly with Xwayland or gamescope also produces a black window.

Seems not like a Niri issue, reopening.

Yeah, should've googled the problem before randomly opening the issues... It's a known problem.

Closing.

Known problem with what?

shumvgolove commented 2 months ago

Based on user reports in Proton Github and Reddit, game is just behaving in... strange ways. I guess Helldivers 2 needs some kind of workaround in Wine/Proton.

I've come up with two "solutions" for now:

The weird one Upon launching, the game spawns several windows: one for the tray icon and one for the actual game. After launching, focus stays on the "tray icon" window, and focusing the game does nothing - it just stays black. However, if you're quick enough to focus the game window just as the "tray icon" spawns, the game... starts rendering. Losing focus on the game renders it permanently black, though.

Here's the video demonstration:

Game starts and renders a black window. You can see it spawns two windows and the latter one is tray icon, which Niri focuses on. You can also hear an intro video, which I cannot skip: the game doesn't receive my inputs.

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a0843b0b-5789-4ece-b6bd-9b7c7fe886d8

Game starts abnormally after quickly switching to game window, constantly trying to fullscreen (?). You can fullscreen the "tray icon" window to escape this limbo :^)

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/72f7678c-1698-4bf3-bf7f-7b899ffd8662

Game starts to render normally after quickly switching to game window, and starts to render black once switching focus to Steam.

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/5fa84da6-c583-490b-ac78-2e326f197def

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Gamescope Running the game with Gamescope works for me with the following arguments: gamescope -e -f -W 2560 -H 1440 -- %command%. The catch is that you need to "unfullscreen" and "fullscreen" it to work properly, otherwise it stays black.
