Overlap

[MrWelsch]

Do not report issue for old MangoHud versions

Describe the bug I exclusively use steam for gaming. Steam is installed as a flatpak, so is MangoHud. Now, when I start my game, I see two instances of MangoHud:

When I toggle MangoHud via keybind multiple times,i can reach the desired result of only one instance showing, as it sometimes only toggles one of the two:

List relevant hardware/software information

• EndeavourOS
• runtime/org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.MangoHud/x86_64/23.08
• AMD 7900 XTX Sapphire Nitro+

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: I guess it is hard to reproduce, as I simply installed steam flatpak, the mentioned version of MangoHud and set MANGOHUD=1 as an environment variable in steam via flatseal.

Expected behavior Ony show one MangoHud instance

Additional context My config in /home/nico/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/config/MangoHud/

### MangoHud configuration file
### Uncomment any options you wish to enable. Default options are left uncommented
### Use some_parameter=0 to disable a parameter (only works with on/off parameters)
### Everything below can be used / overridden with the environment variable MANGOHUD_CONFIG instead

## Set font glyph ranges. Defaults to Latin-only. Don't forget to set font_file/font_file_text to font that supports these
## Probably don't enable all at once because of memory usage and hardware limits concerns

### 24 is a performance optimization on AMD GPUs that should not have adverse effects on nVidia GPUs.
### A minimum of 20 pixels is recommended by nVidia.
# fcat_overlay_width=24

### Blacklist
# blacklist=

### Control over socket
### Enable and set socket name, '%p' is replaced with process id
## example: mangohud
## example: mangohud-%p
# control = -1

################ WORKAROUNDS #################
### Options starting with "gl_*" are for OpenGL
### Specify what to use for getting display size. Options are "viewport", "scissorbox" or disabled. Defaults to using glXQueryDrawable
# gl_size_query=viewport

### (Re)bind given framebuffer before MangoHud gets drawn. Helps with Crusader Kings III
# gl_bind_framebuffer=0

### Don't swap origin if using GL_UPPER_LEFT. Helps with Ryujinx
# gl_dont_flip=1

################ INTERACTION #################

### Change toggle keybinds for the hud & logging
toggle_hud=Shift_L+F1
toggle_hud_position=Shift_R+F2
# toggle_preset=Shift_R+F10
# toggle_fps_limit=Shift_L+F1
# toggle_logging=Shift_L+F2
# reload_cfg=Shift_L+F4
# upload_log=Shift_L+F3

#################### LOG #####################
### Automatically start the log after X seconds
# autostart_log=
### Set amount of time in seconds that the logging will run for
# log_duration=
### Change the default log interval, 0 is default
# log_interval=0
### Set location of the output files (required for logging)
# output_folder=/home/<USERNAME>/mangologs
### Permit uploading logs directly to FlightlessMango.com
## set to 1 to enable
# permit_upload=0
### Define a '+'-separated list of percentiles shown in the benchmark results
### Use "AVG" to get a mean average. Default percentiles are 97+AVG+1+0.1
## example: ['97', 'AVG', '1', '0.1']
# benchmark_percentiles=97,AVG
## Adds more headers and information such as versioning to the log. This format is not supported on flightlessmango.com (yet)
# log_versioning
## Enable automatic uploads of logs to flightlessmango.com
# upload_logs

If two mangohud appear it's because you have it installed twice

If two mangohud appear it's because you have it installed twice

Thank you for the reply. I thought of this as well. However, I do not think that is the case as I've checked multiple times.

Package Manager:

Possible config folders

As I've only installed it via flatpak install org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.MangoHud I also don't see how multiple installations could've happened.

[flightlessmango]

Flatpak and native installs of mangohud can't overlap, it's more likely you've managed to somehow installed mangohud twice through flatpak

Thank you good sir, it seems that was the case

Maybe it was installed with the steam flatpak.
