Flatpak MangoHud Issue: Inconsistent Functionality Across Games

[fagnerpatricio]

Problem Description

Hello, I'm having an issue with MangoHud, in the Flatpak version. I've tested it so far on 2 games and in one of them it works normally, but not in the other.

Command to Install Flatpaks

flatpak install flathub com.valvesoftware.Steam com.valvesoftware.Steam.CompatibilityTool.Boxtron com.github.Matoking.protontricks com.valvesoftware.SteamLink org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.MangoHud org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.vkBasalt org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.gamescope

I followed the tutorial from this page with some updates:

Comunidade Steam :: Guia :: Using Steam in a Flatpak

Tested Games

1. Highway Blossoms (Highway Blossoms no Steam)

2. Far Cry® 6 (Far Cry® 6 no Steam)

Proton Versions Tested

1. GE-Proton9-2
2. Proton Experimental
3. Proton 9.0 (Beta)
4. Proton 8.0-5

Command Used to Start the Games

mangohud %command%

It only works like this; using MANGOHUD=1 or globally using the command below doesn't work.

flatpak override --user --env=MANGOHUD=1 com.valvesoftware.Steam

The MangoHud.conf file is located at:

~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.config/MangoHud/MangoHud.conf

I'm using the unmodified file located at:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/flightlessmango/MangoHud/master/data/MangoHud.conf

Steps to Reproduce the Problem:

1. Install the Flatpaks with the above command.
2. Install the mentioned games.
3. Run with the command "mangohud %command%".

Not a Mangohud issue.
