Can't use gamescope
Hi im trying to play Red alert 3: Uprising, but due to an issue with weird artefacts + exclusive full screen - i need to use gamescope. (issue not specific to the game, but to apps using exclusive fullscreen)
i've set the launch options to
any ideas how i can resolve this here's my neofetch:
gamescope -w 2560 -h 1440 -W 5120 -H 1440 -b -- %command% and the play button just goes back to play when pressed.
i've launched the steam client via the terminal in hopes to gleam some information and only found the following:
3 Uprising\RA3EP1.exe: /usr/include/vkroots.h:13981: void vkroots::tables::CreateDispatchTable(PFN_vkGetInstanceProcAddr, PFN_GetPhysicalDeviceProcAddr, VkInstance): Assertion `res == VK_SUCCESS' failed.
gamescope: children shut down!

Why are you trying to run Firefox inside gamescope
Will try this on my end soon, should work
as a test - i get the same output regardless of what application i use
actually
gamescope -e -- steam "works" (but doesn't because it doesnt actually show anything and my terminal is full of vulkan: Creating Gamescope nested swapchain with format 64 and colorspace 0 repeating forever and no window)
