Problem

I don't know if i'm missing a step or not, but when using --openvr when creating a gamescope instance while SteamVR is running, there is no new overlay in SteamVR.

Steps

Open Steam, and start SteamVR
Open terminal and use command: gamescope --steam --hdr-enabled --openvr --vr-overlay-icon "/home/<user>/.steam/root/public/steam_tray.ico" -- dolphin
Put on headset, or use vr view, and see no change to SteamVR dash/overlay.

Terminal output

Input: gamescope --steam --hdr-enabled --openvr --vr-overlay-icon "/home/<user>/.steam/root/public/steam_tray.ico" -- dolphin

Output:

No CAP_SYS_NICE, falling back to regular-priority compute and threads.
Performance will be affected.

SteamVR and Client info

just in case it's relevant to anyone

SteamVR: beta 1.27.5 Steam Client Version: 1693527575 Steam Client Build Date: Thu, Aug 31 5:03 PM UTC -08:00

Extra notes

This is the same result between the official Arch package gamescope and the AUR gamescope-git that builds from this repo.

same or similar error when running gamescope -e -- steam on my Laptop Nvidia 3050 Linux 6.6 kernel with kernel modules and the nvidia kernel modeset thingy X11 Gnome Arch Linux.

it opens a "transparant"? window that shows what was behind it and doesn't refresh it.

on Wayland with same input i get No CAP_SYS_NICE, falling back to regular-priority compute and threads. Performance will be affected. wlserver: [backend/headless/backend.c:67] Creating headless backend vulkan: physical device 10de:25e2 compute queue doesn't support presenting on our surface, using graphics queue vulkan: selecting physical device 'NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop GPU': queue family 0 (general queue family 0) vulkan: physical device supports DRM format modifiers fish: Job 1, 'gamescope -e -- steam' terminated by signal SIGSEGV (Address boundary error)

super confusing and inconvenient, i have no idea what's wrong.
