HDMI display port adapters no longer work in steam gamemode (desktop works fine)
my tv shows a black screen whenever trying to accses steam game mode.
I think it maybe the resolution steam is trying to run out.
Is there anyway to force steam to run at a certain resolution or force a "safe mode"?
I noticed on my deck that in display settings there is an option for a "safe mode" but I can't accses it on my pc because I get no output and the option dosn't seem to be available on the desktop

This has to do with the EDID probe bits in gamescope session ; remove .confg/gamescope

nope doesn't work....
The hell tried tried resetting steam by moving .local/share/Steam
Somewhere else
And it still black screens
So the default steam config is also broken
Turns out it's the HDMI display port adapter
Steam gamemode no longer works with it but desktop mode does :thonk:
I really really hate the HDMI forum
@Kyle Gospo sorry for bugging u so much but is there any diffrence between what bazzite game mode does and just launching steam in a gamescope tty like this
gamescope -O DP-2 -w 2560 -h 1440 -W 3840 -H 2160 -r 120 -o 30 -f -e -F fsr -S auto --fsr-sharpness 2 -- mangohud steam
?
running it like that fixes the black screen problem even when using a DP -> HDMI adaptercan look at how the session is done at https://github.com/ChimeraOS/gamescope-session

very minor
none applied to an HTPC
and most upstreamed by now

This has to do with the EDID probe bits in gamescope session ; remove .confg/gamescope
so pretty much there no diffrence betwen what I am doing and what gamescope session is doing except the upscaling part
Also if your monitor/tv has a 'gamemode' setting . Turn it off
ok let me try that
Yup that was it 🙏
