Only works with native titles

[Eoin-ONeill-Yokai]

Hey,

I just tried this out with my system (Fedora Kinoite) and noticed that gamescope would not work with any non-native titles. Instead of opening the game within the gamescope context, it would cause gamescope to hang (considered open by system monitor) and the game would instead open fullscreen on my actual host system.

With native titles (tested with Counter Strike 1.6) it seemed to work as expected but came with it's own hiccups (can't change the resolution of the game) that wasn't present on the version installed on my previous distribution.

Any advice here? I've also disabled any steam overlay which didn't seem to fix the problem.

Same here which unfortunately kinda defeats the purpose for me as the games where I want to use Gamescope to increase my FPS by upscaling aren't native.

Please try to reproduce this with the new VulkanLayer extension, as that succeeds this, and a friend says it works for Proton games.

Just install org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.gamescope and use /usr/lib/extensions/vulkan/gamescope/bin/gamescope to run gamescope instead of gamescope.

I've already swapped over to the new extension but haven't tested yet. I'll test tomorrow and report back. Is there any reason for the full path rather than just gamescope like the old one?

The appropriate binaries aren't added to the PATH yet, I still need to work on that: https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/pull/5482

This should make it so you can just use gamescope, but for now, use the full path: https://github.com/flathub/com.valvesoftware.Steam/pull/1125

Ok nice, I'll do some testing tomorrow and report back on the functionality relevant to this issue.
