my mouse speed is fine though. its only when i enter a game and control the player camera it has issues. everything else is fine.

i wonder if it has to do with polling rate. I changed polling rare right before it happened.

Your mouse might be storing its config in its own memory. Try resetting it to default in Piper or looking for a reset button on the mouse itself.

Let me guess, you had to add --force-grab-cursor flag to gamescope? I had to add that to any source engine game I use with gamescope, no idea why they have the most issues with it for me.
Click to expand...

yes. I do not like gamescope. I want hdr but gamescope fucks with shit. Linux is so annoying.

Does anyone know how to use proton ge custom with wayland hdr? It limits my resolution to 1440p for some reason. otherwise this would work fine

Last time i tested it on a VM (which was like a year or two ago), it wouldn't let me get passed the login screen after a restart.

Might try it again though, this is the only distro that's vaguely interesting to me because it's trying to marry two opposite things into one.

Update: new OS version boots fine on VMware Workstation 17 player

Audio drivers don't work, but there's a guide on their wiki with steps for that. The bad news is that they are supposedly known to break the OS, so I think I'll just leave it audio-less for now.

I have started to like it less and less, the last 5 versions released on arch linux have been a buggy mess, and half the games I play did not work with those versions. *sigh*

Did you try the environment variables from the link you sent?
Code: 
PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 %command%
should work, though I havent tried the latest proton ge with anything yet.

when i use those variables it puts my game in a 1440p window and disables 4k. no google results show anything. Like it works fine but its limited to 1440p and in the corner of my screen

Any schizos here heard of (or tried) the MNT Reform?

An "open-source hardware" ARM laptop that comes with a trackball. Sounds like it might be a bit underpowered for the absurd demands even basic tasks seem to make on CPUs these days however.

Necroing this ancient post to say: not yet. I am saving up to get one. There have been staggering improvements since you made your post, it now runs an RK3588 (8-core with 4x 2.4 GHz Cortex-A76 + 4x 2.2 GHz Cortex-A55), up to 32 gigs LPDDR4, a standalone GPU and has an NVMe + 2.5" SSD slot. Not gonna lie, it looks sick. Pretty spicy price but imo probably worth the effort to make Moloch & Baal (Intel & AMD) tongue your asshole once you're rid of the PSP/IME shit. Not sure what is up with the TrustZone firmware on the Reform, AFAIK one of their head devs wrote somewhere that they are running some bespoke gimped version, with the only binary blobs being in DDR and GPU initialization but I can't find the exact post. Pretty cool stuff nonetheless. Guess this is about the best we can get until stronger RISC-V or POWER9 laptops become a thing.

I have only tested hunt showdown so far. When I google it people have this issue with wayland but not with this scenario specifically
Click to expand...
Did buy Hunt Showdown just to see if anything like that would happen on my end, seems like it was working fine, initially launched in a 1440p borderless fullscreen window but it did let me change to 4K and enable HDR. Tried some other HDR enabled games, Quake 2 RTX, Resident Evil VIllage, Tony Hawk, POE 2. All seemed to work fine minus POE2 which made a black window and would CTD. Might be something fucking up on your end causing it to not work right, I know with KDE every now and again I've had to restart my session to have shit work properly.

interesting. on my end it opens in the 1440p window and then doesnt have anything higher. Are you using any scaling in your settings? I have everything at 1.25% scale. What version are you on? KDE wise?

I'm on the latest release of KDE 6.3.5, and Scaling is enabled on both monitors @ 125%.

I am on 6.3.5 with 6.14 framework and qt 6.9. wtf man

I know what it is. Wayland is using my second monitor's settings and not my main. disabling my second monitor fixed it.

Yeah I got no clue then, like I said restarting KDE has fixed shit like this in the past for me but I would not be surprised if it fixes nothing. Are you on amd or nvidia? I dont think that should make a difference but I am using a 7900 XTX.

I edited my post with my fix. However IDK how to fix it without disabling my second monitor. Is there like a wayland config?

Lol, I was thinking of asking if you had a second 1440p monitor. Did you try setting your primary monitor as your 4K display in KDE's settings? That could be affecting the game.

Edit: Another anecdote is that for some reason within the last year or two, proton would always display on my main monitor but get the incorrect monitor 's resolutions when it made an Xwayland window, so every time I booted my system, or the Xwayland session would be restarted, I would have to set my primary monitor with xrandr so games would work properly. No idea if this was just my system fucking up or what, but eventually it seems to have fixed itself, or someone else got annoyed enough and actually made a bug report.
