you can't have both at the same time, what makes you think it's opening in Wayland?

It shouldn't be a bug with mangohud

are you using gamescope and/or playing in gamemode?

that's your problem gamescope is a wayland compositor if you want x11 you'll have to play on the desktop

that's very odd, has to be a bug of some kind because I don't see gamescope being requested and you cannot use wayland on an x11 desktop without a nested compositor no way that's accurate

when the game is running check with ps ax | grep gamescope and see if it actually uses gamescope in the background you can also look for other things like wayland and stuff as its certainly odd

no idea why mangohud reports wayland there
Pelicano
PelicanoOP•12mo ago
Star Citizen does not work correctly when I use Wayland I'm going to open the game, if the cursor keeps running, it's because I'm using Wayland It's really using x11, I shouldn't trust mangohud
