All my Steam games run great if I run them as normal without Gamescope wrapping Steam.

If I run Steam in a Gamescope window then my Windows/Proton games just don’t start. - I press play and a few seconds later I’m back to the “Play” button in Steam.

This is the command:
gamescope --nested-width 1920 --nested-height 1080 --nested-refresh 60 --output-width 1920 --output-height 1080 --steam – steam -tenfoot

I’m running Fedora 38 on an AMD 6900xt with everything vanilla and up to date. Desktop is Gnome/Wayland.

What could be the problem?

    Gamescope doesn’t work for me either (Garuda/amd gpu) but I haven’t found it necessary. I prefer using gamemoderun on everything - Baldurs gate 3 runs much more smoothly than on windows

    Just checking, if you’re not using the flatpak Steam install then have you installed gamescope?

    The Steam package from Flathub includes gamescope, but not all non-flatpak versions combine it.

    sudo dnf install gamescope

    Try to simplify that a bit. gamescope -W 1920 -H 1080 -r 60 -f -- %command%

    I tried gamescope before (trying to get HDR working) and it seemed to work ok (though I couldn’t get HDR working), I just tried it with tenfoot and while it launches, the controller doesn’t work for me (with cyberpunk) so not sure if that helps your or not

    For me, I get stuff in the steam logs like this:

    wlserver: Running compositor on wayland display 'gamescope-0'
wlserver: [backend/headless/backend.c:16] Starting headless backend
wlserver: [xwayland/server.c:108] Starting Xwayland on :1
wlserver: [types/wlr_compositor.c:681] New wlr_surface 0x55945e26c8d0 (res 0x55945e13cd60)
wlserver: [xwayland/server.c:273] Xserver is ready

    Command I ran was this

    gamescope -W 2560 -H 1440 --steam -- steam -tenfoot

    Used gamescope from their github site.
