Description

This issue persists on wayland (hyprland) and when two of my monitors, of different refresh rates are connected. Gamescope seems to be confused as to what refresh rate it should be running at, resulting in constant changing of the refresh rate, causing noticeable stutters in game. This happens both in native and proton games. When I disconnect my second monitor, that is the 60hz monitor, the issue is resolved. However, this is not a viable fix for me as I do indeed, enjoy using both of my monitors.

This issue does not exist in X11. However, I have spent countless hours configuring hyprland to my liking, and enjoy using it a lot. I do not want to switch back to X11.

Below provided are console logs, and the command I use to run gamescope.

Console logs:

[gamescope] [Info]  xdg_backend: Changed refresh to: 239.761hz

How to reproduce

Have two monitors of varying refresh rates connected.

is this a regression? can you test 0.39.1?

Also doesnt gamescope have a flag to set the refresh rate

[zeptic99]

is this a regression? can you test 0.39.1?

Sure, I will test it on that version and get back to you.

Also doesnt gamescope have a flag to set the refresh rate

Although it is missing from the command I have provided, I have tried using it. It is ineffective.

Hello, I was unable to downgrade to version 39.1, since doing so involves downgrading all its dependencies, and all other packages that depend on those dependencies. I was unable to find a suitable way to do this on the internet.

However, I came across this comment on my help post in Reddit:

This means Hyprland's presentation time implementation is broken and reports presentation on both displays - so gamescope switches back and forth. It's supposed to only report presentation on one display at a time

Do you think this could be the issue?

In the meantime, I will continue to see if I can figure out a way to get version 39.1 installed (which just so happens the be the version that is just one below the version that I started my hyprland journey with, that being version 40.)

uhh could be yeah, can you post WAYLAND_DISPLAY=1 logs from gamescope?

[zeptic99]

Do you mean, WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-1, like I have in my prefix? Because WAYLAND_DISPLAY=1 gives me:

❯ sh startGamescope.sh
[gamescope] [Info]  console: gamescope version 3.14.29
Failed to connect to wayland socket: 1.

As for the former, the logs when running "Counter-Strike 2" with gamescope are attached below. alacritty_output1.txt

[vaxerski]

err, WAYLAND_DEBUG, was I drunk?

[vaxerski]

can you try latest git?

[zeptic99]

Holy *** ****, you did it. You're the Da Vinci of our time—an absolute genius. 🐐

CS2 also launches instantly now, like right after clicking "play" on steam. Dk if it was the recent cs update (i doubt) or your fix. It used to take a solid 5/10 seconds of waiting before.

Unrelated however, I still get:

[gamescope] [Warn]  xwm: got the same buffer committed twice, ignoring.

It starts spamming as soon as I load up a map. Any idea what that might be about? I also get this on other games.

I thank you for your dedication and brilliance

Looks like a log from what an app inside gamescope does to gamescope, shouldn't relate to us.
