Heroic Launcher - Can't change gamescope options because the executable is in /usr/bin
Heroic Launcher recently added gamescope support, it is technically available in the path but it's not reachable because flatpak refuses to share that directory.

Ah sweet, that for sure fixed it!
Run
flatpak install gamescope
Select either user or system

I think you can use Flatseal (installed from flatpak) to modify which paths can be shared with given flatpak (among other permissions etc.)
I can, but flatseal gives and error about not wanting to share the directory even if it's added to path or shared the gamescope executable directly from
/usr/bin/gamescopeYou need to install the flatpak gamescope
yeah, this will never work because flatpak can't access /usr
you must install the gamescope flatpak as term said
why can't flatpaks access /usr? can flatpaks access /etc?
No, same reason
Flatpak design goal is to not rely on system libraries
Ah, is there any difference on the gamescope versions of the flatpak one and the bazzite one?
Like, will it be worth the effort if Bazzites gamescope has any special mods to make it more performant
They are on 3.13.19 like us
no differences atm
Installing Gamescope as flatpak didn't fix it sadly
You didn’t install the right package
There are 3 that come up when you run
flatpak install gamescope
One of them is the right one, and you’ll need to determine which one it is based on the package name and the branch number at the end
Heroic is running on the 23.08 branch, and you're not looking for something Steam-specificSolution
