transparent game window #220

Hello As I am new to the Linux world, I don't know where to look for help anymore.

I have a problem with Steam (installed via flatpak ), gamescope and the game. As far as I can see an older title works without any problem no matter if I use the usual proton or ge . But with the newer one it is not so cool anymore.

Regardless of whether I start the game with the flag gamescope -f -- %command% or gamescope -- %command% I get a sort of transparent game window, and in the steam terminal it loops me a message:

[Gamescope WSI] Atom of T was wrong type. Expected XCB_ATOM_CARDINAL.
[Gamescope WSI] Failed to get Xwayland server id. Failing swapchain creation.
[Gamescope WSI] Creating swapchain for xid: 0x7000059 - minImageCount: 3 - format: VK_FORMAT_A2B10G10R10_UNORM_PACK32 - colorspace: VK_COLOR_SPACE_SRGB_NONLINEAR_KHR - flip: true

I tried yet to check if the same error is with the Steam system version but I fell down when compiling because wayland-server 1.21 is required and Pop!_OS only provides 1.20.

Thank you very much for your help as well as any information and apologies for my poor English

Gamescope doesn't work on steam with never versions of proton or without the flatpak of proton. See issue #6.
