Does Not Work With Flatpak Steam - Games Refuse To Launch #1225

Closed BluesAdam closed 7 months ago

BluesAdam commented 7 months ago

Describe the bug If used with flatpak version of Steam, when I add mangohud %command% launch parameter, games refuse to launch.

List relevant hardware/software information

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Install Flatpak version of Steam
  2. Install Flatpak or rpm version of MangoHud (tried both)
  3. Add mangohud %command% launch parameter to a game (tried Apex Legends and Deep Rock Galactic)
  4. Game refuses to launch.

Expected behavior Game should launch with MangoHud overlay enabled.

Additional context I need Flatpak version of Steam and OBS Studio to make Game Capture (obs-vkcapture) work on OBS. Otherwise I cannot record and stream games on OBS. Unfortunately, this means MangoHud overlay doesn't work.

if games don't start at all, it usually means that the mangohud script can't be found. Either because mangohud is not installed or you're using an incompatible combination like normal mangohud and flatpak steam. You can install flatpak and normal mangohud at the same time

Installed both rpm and flatpak versions. Still, the game struggles to run for a couple seconds and then nothing happens. Works completely fine with rpm Steam though. It's just the Flatpak version that breaks it for me.

Tried --dlsym hooking as well with no luck.

I would say you should report the issue to the flatpak repo https://github.com/flathub/org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.MangoHud We don't deal with issues stemming from packaging
