Gamemode status in Mangohud is shown incorrect

[IrksomeHighlndr]

It's not detecting that the process has loaded client libgamemode.so. Check if it is listed in /proc/<game pid>/map_files

[IrksomeHighlndr]

No, there isn't any mention of libgamemode.so in the map_files, though its working just fine with any non steam games

If you don't run the process with gamemoderun it won't inject into the process and you won't have the process specific features like setting niceness. i.e gamemode is not "fully" on

[IrksomeHighlndr]

I both tried passing arguments directly and and enabling via Lutris and adding arguments to steam launch options, none of them isn't working. It works fine (shows the status of the gamemode correct) with non steam games like EGS games or GOG games (games which are called with wine) but in case of steam games its not behaving correctly. Though I have to see whether changing the proton version does address the problem. Update: It doesn't solve the problem Update 2: I reinstalled the entire OS from scratch and it still doesnt shows up

Having this issue as well. I'm running FFXIV online with GE proton and these launch settings: gamemoderun mangohud NOSTEAM=1 %command% And my mangohud also doesn't say gamemode is running. Even though gamemoded -s ays it's active

[flightlessmango]

We only check if gamemode is injected, not if its running on the system

Not sure if this is something that changes the verdict or MangoHud can check:

Gamemodestatus appears to show up fine for linux native games (i.e. Hollow Knight). It creates two processes and both have the so injected.

Other games (i.e. Last Epoch, Sonic Generations) run through Proton create multiple processes and only one of them has gamemode injected. Mangohud shows status as "off":
