I had this issue when I was using -F fsr, you could try disabling that if you're using it. I also have to do ENABLE_HDR_WSI=0, since I have that enabled for MPV but setting it to 1 makes Gamescope break.

My current launch options are ENABLE_HDR_WSI=0 DXVK_HDR=1 gamescope -f -H 2160 --force-grab-cursor --hdr-enabled --hdr-debug-force-output --hdr-itm-enable -- env MANGOHUD=1 %command%. I may also have ENABLE_GAMESCOPE_WSI=1 set as well, you could try that.

Using NixOS with Linux 6.8, Plasma 6.1, gamescope-wsi_git, and an RX 7600.

Looking at the Nix package, it seems like it just enables the Meson flag "enable_gamescope_wsi_layer" and adds the package "vulkan-headers" to the build inputs. Looking at the AUR package it uses vulkan-headers but idk what meson flags it uses.

Am I the only one preferring low quality media over high quality one?

I have a very slow Internet connection (5 Mbps down, and even less for upload). Given that, I always download movies at 720p, since they have low file size, which means I can download them more quickly. Also, I don't notice much of a difference between 1080p and 720p. As for 4K, because I don't have a screen that can display 4K,...

Yes, every video you download or stream is actually compressed quite a lot, the bitrate just determines how much compression is applied. Higher bitrate means the file is bigger and less compression is done, while low bitrate means the video has a lot less bits to store all that data and so has to do more compression.

I played with my friend over Discord and somehow we got matched with each other the first time, so we didn't get to play with strangers or anything. Still was fun though.

If you're looking for a similar type of game, I played GRIS recently which reminded me quite a bit of this.

Gamescope generally helps with alt+tab issues.

How is Backpack Hero by the way? I played the demo years ago and liked it but haven't bought the actual game yet.

You can also run the game at 1080p and use FSR to upscale it to native resolution, that's what I often do on my 4k monitor.

I have a Mini-LED HDR monitor (Acer XV275K P3) and it looks great. It gets super bright with black blacks. I didn't want to risk burn-in, it covers the full 1000 nits that most HDR content expects, and it was only $550 which was quite a steal. There's occasionally a little blooming in dark scenes in movies, but in games it never gets that dark and there's mostly very bright things instead.

I have HDR working on Plasma 6 with an AMD gpu on NixOS, although recently Gamescope/Steam has been a bit bugged. MPV still plays movies perfectly though. I even set up inverse tone mapping so SDR videos get converted into HDR, which looks a bit better than normal SDR imo.

My current MPV config is here (in the NixOS syntax but it should be understandable). The profile is what applies the SDR->HDR effect, only if the video is in SDR.

I have target-peak set to 550 nits which seems okay, but I have control + scroll wheel bound to turn it up and down. If you go to 200 or below it seems to disable the effect, which is good for 2D animated content. I also generally turn the saturation up to like 15 or 30 or something since it can look washed out. Gamma looks best at 0 generally, but in dark scenes to combat blooming I might turn it up to like 5 or 10. I haven't messed too much with the tone mapping curve but I'm using what the documentation says is recommended so it seems good.

Are you using native Wine Wayland for HDR? I'd been using Gamescope but I've been having some issues with it recently.

How do you run games using Wine Wayland? I tried using the registry edit with Proton-TKG as well as system wine but I haven't gotten it working yet.

Thanks! I managed to get it working in some games and it seems to output HDR. Sadly it doesn't seem to support fractional scaling (at least with two monitors), and since I use 175% scale that messes it up. Gamescope seems to work pretty well though, both for HDR and for fractional scaling.
