Nvidia Gamescope Menu Glitching & gamescope booting to partial screen

On the new Nvidia HTPC beta and it's honestly awesome. I only have a couple minor issues with this build. One of them seems to be that intermittently the gamescope steam menus will not be legible. They'll pop out looking all glitched. This also occurs on the notification elements intermittently. I'd say this occurs maybe 20ish percent of the time. It generally self resolves on reboot or going out into desktop mode and back into game mode. The other issue that intermittently happens is that sometimes on a fresh boot, gamescope will load taking up only partial screen real estate. Exiting to desktop causes the screen to display correctly and then boothing back into game mode it usually is fine at that point. I've tried messing with resolution settings in gamescope to try to remedy this but it still seems to happen regardless of those changes.

It is much much better than it used to be. These are mostly bugs on Nvidia’s side apparently so got to wait on them to update the drivers for these bugs. I’m sure there can be something done from Gamescope / steam side of things but Valve probably doesn’t have much motivation at this time since their own hardware and now partner hardware is all AMD based. Honestly AMD based systems are also not entirely bug free from a visual glitches perspective either especially with HDR enabled.

The Nvidia issues about glitching is not even gamemode specific, it also happens with the desktop client The biggest issue is the HDR toggle on 1440p and higher screens

I rebased last night an surprisingly im not having any issues with HDR at 4k120 Just the visual glitches on menus like above

HDR works fine yeah, it's the toggle that causes issues

Sorry I meant that Toggled it a few times and it was fine Maybe it’ll happen during some other boots.

SteamOS for flies This thread is leading me to believe there’s a version of Bazzite w/game mode included for Nvidia GPUs? I just discovered this distro today and all the videos I watched led me to believe that this wasn’t currently the case, and I was a little disappointed Now I see that I was wrong? Albeit it looks super buggy but if it’s still available that’s exciting

Yeah this was happening even in nested Gamescope (Wayland backend) and would also happen if I launched Gamescope via tty (drm backend apparently). But with the deck-Nvidia builds since last night I haven’t run into visual corruption anywhere near that through multiple reboots and changing between game mode and desktop. It might just be my specific configuration or maybe some recent changes to gamescope on bazzite’s end that has resolved a lot of issues since the nvidia driver has been the same for the last month.
