FFXIV Mangohud separate config(?), seems to crash my pc now, can't write to ~/.config/MangoHud/
so every steam game I've tried I just put
mangohud %command% in the arguments and it works fine. I tweaked the config with goverlay (through an arch container) and while that isn't perfect (only some settings seem to work?) it works well enough
ffxiv seems to require I use MANGOHUD=1 %command% instead, which does work, but it has default settings. I'm guessing there's a separate config involved or something? does anyone know anything about this?93 Replies
Are you using XIVLauncher?
yep
the flatpak that bazzite offers through the portal
if my goverlay method is scuffed and there's a better way, or something, then I'm fine with redoing some stuff
especially if it means I can see my gpu temps in the overlay. couldn't get that working for some reason
grant flatpak permissions to XIVLauncher to access
xdg-config/MangoHud:rooo okay lemme try that
yeah you're using system mangohud with a flatpak, it needs permission to read the config file
goootcha
I wouldn't have thought to check that cuz it hasn't been a problem before, but ig steam being pre-installed probably has that stuff set up already

~/.config/MangoHud/MangoHud.conf, which is used by non-flatpak MangoHud. flatpak apps use flatpak MangoHuddoes this look right
and arbitrary flatpak apps do not have access to
~/.config by default
yesoh hmm. am I gonna have to reconfigure some stuff anyway?
shouldn't
:blobthumbsup:
let me try
:ro at the end means the flatpak app has read-only access to that foldermhm
oh. while we're at it, could you help me get my gpu temp in the overlay?
oh it uses flatpak mangohud? It probably can't access the system one, right?
