Errors when launching games with Gamescope
troy0h opened this issue · comments
The two games I currently use Gamescope on both have errors when launching.
Helldivers 2: (gamescope -f -w 2560 -h 1440 -- mangohud %command% --use-d3d11)
Team Fortress 2: (gamescope -f -w 2560 -h 1440 -- mangohud %command%)
Both games worked perfectly in Gamescope fairly recently, and now crash very soon after getting into the game.
CreateSwapchainHKR: Creating swapchain for non-Gamescope swapchain.
Hooking has failed somewhere!
You may have a bad Vulkan layer interfering.
If I press OK, I get another error:
QueuePresentKHR: Attempting to present a non-hooked swapchain.
Hooking has failed somewhere!
You may have a bad Vulkan layer interfering.
@troy0h do you also have that issue when running w/o mangohud?
Yes, it seems the mangohud layer is broken here. You can just workaround it by using --mangoapp instead,
I've seen this error as well recently, on my NVIDIA rig with driver 555.42.02. For example, I'm able to trigger the Vulkan layer pop-up by using the Performance Overlay within this nested steam window:
gamescope -e -f -H 1440 -W 3440 --hdr-enabled -- steam -steamdeck -steampal -tenfoot -steamos3
Toggling the performance overlay on and trying to launch Ori and the Will of the Wisps gives me:
QueuePresentKHR: Attempting to present a non-hooked swapchain.
Hooking has failed somewhere!
You may have a bad Vulkan layer interfering.
while keeping it off lets the game launch perfectly with HDR enabled.
I just tried compiling MangoHud from source and I seem to be able to use gamescope -e -f -H 1440 -W 3440 --hdr-enabled --mangoapp -- steam -steamdeck -steampal -tenfoot -steamos3 to add the MangoHud overlay without swapchain warnings now.

Yep, this fixed it, seems like it was just a mangohud issue
Facing the same issue recently. Running with --mangoapp from my Arch installation will open the game but without mangohud, almost as if the command is being ignored.
EDIT: I'm running Arch, Plasma 6.1 beta, nvidia-open-beta-dkms 555, kwin-explicit-sync patch, mangohud from Arch's repository
Let me guess, your distro does not build mangoapp? :)

weird, im on arch too and --mangoapp works fine for me
my launch options for helldivers 2 right now is
gamescope -f -r 165 -w 2560 -h 1440 --mangoapp -- %command% --use-d3d11
and that works fine for me, I don't have a mangoapp package
maybe you forgot to install the lib32-mangohud package?
lib32-mangohud and mangohud are both installed from pacman, I'm able to run mangoapp on the terminal and it gives me an error
Glfw Error 65550: X11: Platform not initialized

but it shows mangoapp exists. I'm running my games with gamescope -W 3840 -H 2160 -r 165 --hdr-enabled --hdr-itm-enable --hdr-itm-sdr-nits 300 --hdr-itm-target-nits 1000 -f -e --mangoapp -- %command%
lib32-mangohudandmangohudare both installed from pacman, I'm able to runmangoappon the terminal and it gives me an error about the session not being initialised, but it shows mangoapp exists.
Maybe try reinstalling mangohud w/:
pacman -S --overwrite='*' mangohud lib32-mangohud
Maybe try reinstalling mangohud w/:
pacman -S --overwrite='*' mangohud lib32-mangohud
Well, this did something, now running with mangoapp it'll show up the mangohud overlay and a black screen, a few seconds later the same two warnings will pop up

That could be the HDR stuff, maybe try removing that and see what happens
Do you have other Vulkan layers interfering like it asks? =)

yeah thats what i was thinking with the HDR commands
What HDR commands? The Gamescope args should be fine
What HDR commands? The Gamescope args should be fine
the --hdr-enabled --hdr-itm-enable --hdr-itm-sdr-nits 300 --hdr-itm-target-nits 1000 in his gamescope args, it can cause issues iirc, especially with mangohud
Found out that the nvidia-open-beta-dkms (driver 555) was the issue. Changing to nvidia-beta-dkms (also 555) lets mangohud show up with --mangoapp, although the GPU stats are all 0. Maybe that's because of the beta driver?
About the HDR flags, the only issue I found with them is that some games will simply freeze after some seconds or minutes, but I think this bug has been reported already and it's still under investigation.

Running the same games with just mangohud %command%, all stats are displayed without issue, only when running with gamescope and --mangoapp that the GPU stats aren't displayed. I also didn't find anything out of the ordinary on the console output while running with gamescope.
