Cannot open any games with Gamescope
Is there an existing issue for this?
- [X] I have searched the existing issues
Are you using any gamescope patches or a forked version of gamescope?
- [X] The issue occurs on upstream gamescope without any modifications
Current Behavior
When I run any steam game with gamescope in the launch options, the game does not open. It goes as far as checking the cloud saves but once it goes to load the game after whatever processing it needs to do (e.g. the vulkan drivers on persona 5), the game does not run and the play button switches back to "Play". My friend tried to replicate this but didn't have the same issue as me.
Please tell me commands I need to run etc., I'm new to linux.
Steps To Reproduce
- Be on my computer
- Install steam and gamescope through the package manager
- Run any game with gamescope in the launch options
Hardware information
- Distro: EndeavourOS (happened when I used LinuxMint too)
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600 (12) @ 5.170GH
- GPU: AMD ATI Radeon RX 6700XT
- Driver Version: [I couldn't run this command]
Software information
- Desktop environment: EndeavourOS Cinnamon
- Session type: x11
- Gamescope version: 3.16.1-1
- Gamescope launch command(s): gamescope -- %command%
Which gamescope backends have the issue you are reporting?
- [ ] Wayland (default for nested gamescope)
- [ ] DRM (default for embedded gamescope, i.e. gamescope-session)
- [ ] SDL
- [ ] OpenVR

if you're on X11 you likely need https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope/pull/1548 which will be in 3.16.2 as the SDL backend does not launch properly on 3.16.1.

@matte-schwartz What do I need to do or is it just waiting for the next update? The post just seems to be referencing stuff and I don't really understand it
Wait for the next update or compile Gamescope yourself. Using Gamescope-git from the AUR is probably the easiest way to do that on Arch.
@matte-schwartz
So if I were to do that, what do I actually need to do? I think in the post it said they had to edit 2 lines of code but I don't know where I'm looking.
I'm assuming you mean running like yay gamescope-git but that seems to not give me a chance to look at it to find what I'm looking for.
Also how long would you expect it to take to update? I'm not in dire dire need but I'd like to use it since I use an ocr to learn languages and some games don't continue running when alt tabbed which is why I needed to use it before. (Probably irrelevant information)
The comment you're referring to about changing anything was incorrect so ignore that. yay gamescope-git is fine without modifying anything manually. If Gamescope is still not working after that, then your issue is something else entirely and just appeared to have the same conditions to trigger it.
I have no say on when new releases get tagged so I can't really provide any sort of estimate.
@matte-schwartz gamescope-git also doesn't work for me. I tried it again just now and it's the same result. Is there any more commands to run or information I can give you? This is a fresh install of Endeavour OS which I've only updated all the packages and then installed steam and gamescope and after that the only other things on here are timeshift and bluez + blueman. I've had the same issues on Linux Mint and it only got resolved when I used the flatpaks and then when they had to update everything broke again.
Hmm, can you check coredumpctl list and see if any Gamescope coredumps are there? If it's the most recent one, you can use coredumpctl info to get a readout of it. If it's an older one, you can use coredumpctl info <gamescope coredump's number>. I'm not able to reproduce your crash with Persona 5 yet but I don't have the same GPU as you.

@matte-schwartz is the reason you said to do it with the AUR version (gamescope-git) because it was on a different update? Because at the moment its on the same update so maybe thats why it's not any different.
@matte-schwartz Sorry to bother, I'm just looking around again to see if other people have a similar issue to me. Did the coredump come up with anything at all? A lot of the recent issues seem to be to do with GPUs but running some of the commands, mine doesn't seem to winge about it. Not that it matters but I've put it here and its very similar results to the previous logs (hence not mattering)
@matte-schwartz if it helps it seems that vkresult -7 means "VK_ERROR_EXTENSION_NOT_PRESENT" (according to https://registry.khronos.org/vulkan/specs/latest/man/html/VkResult.html). Also please tell me if you want me to stop @ing you, I don't know whats appropriate here since I'm new to github in the sense of I don't understand what the decorum is
Could someone tell me where to get further help about this? Nothing has changed
I am having the same issue. I'm also on EndeavourOS, Cinammon, and X11. I'm on all AMD hardware. I also noticed similar issues when trying to use EndeavourOS and KDE. I tried both X11 and Wayland in that instance, including the --expose-wayland flag. Gamescope wouldn't work there either. I suspect this is also why every time I try to launch gamescope-session that after going to a black screen for a few kicks back to my login screen.
Hardware Info:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G
- GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE
- Kernel: Linux 6.14.5-arch1-1
Software Info:
- Desktop environment: EndeavourOS Cinnamon
- Session type: x11
- Gamescope version: 3.16.4-28-g3ab24ca0
- Gamescope launch command(s): gamescope -W 1920 -H 1080 -r 60 -- supertuxkart
Launching supertuxkart from the command line also produces this error for me. Any game I try to add the launch command to in steam simply doesn't launch. I've tried a couple version that are post 3.16.2 per @matte-schwartz's comment about the recent update that was a problem. At this point it seems unrelated to that. I've tried using both cinammon and kde without any luck using any of the versions of gamescope that I can get from the AUR.

I've done a little more testing and I was able to get gamescope working on another distro, but it was 3.15.9 and not 3.16.4. So I can confirm that I can get a version of gamescope working on my hardware. This was with KDE and X11 on the most recent stable version of Bazzite.
I tried to get an older version of gamescope installed on my arch install, but as usual trying to do that on an arch based distro is a bit of a pain. Getting lots of errors when attempting it various ways. Usually something else I have installed (usually cmake) causes the various dependency installs to fail.
I also ran into some issues trying to get the flatpak version working, which I believe is older than 3.16. This might be a possible work around but I haven't got it working.
Edit: I can also confirm that this gives an error with cinnamon and wayland.
I figured it out. I believe that this is related to #991. This also explains why I wouldn't have issues with Bazzite because they would install the correct drivers with steam on the initial install of the OS. @bonkie25 I suspect this is what is causing your issue since we're using the same distro and DE with EndeavourOS and Cinnamon. I'm guessing you did the same thing I did.
When EndeavourOS first asks you how you want to install steam it has driver options, the default option is amdvlk, which according to #991 can be an issue. I know this was the original option I chose when installing steam using yay, I mean why not use the default right?
Here's what my terminal looked like and the options I chose. Sorry it isn't formatted well I jumped computers to update the ticket.

I chose option 7 because I have a radeon card. After doing this I installed gamescope from the AUR and everything worked as expected.
I can confirm that gamescope -W 1920 -H 1080 -r 60 -- supertuxkart launched supertuxkart into a 1920x1080 window along with gamescope -W 1920 -H 1080 -r 60 -- %command% working as a launch command on No Man's Sky in steam.
When EndeavourOS first asks you how you want to install steam it has driver options, the default option is amdvlk, which according to #991 can be an issue. I know this was the original option I chose when installing steam using yay, I mean why not use the default right?
When I tried to reinstall just now, I didn't get these options, also when I tried installing those drivers manually, nothing changed when I tried running a game (P4G) with default gamescope settings (gamescope -- %command%). I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Also I'm on KDE now so would that be an issue? I'm writing this before rebooting and switching to cinnamon
Edit: it was the same on Cinnamon as it was on KDE
@bonkie25 This is where I had some issues as well. Purging steam and re-installing was about the only way to go and it also gave me issues. I was lucky enough that I had just done an install, so I just did a completely fresh install of EndeavourOS.
When I did a pacman -Rcns steam I don't know if it actually got everything it needed. You might also want to try pacman -Rcns amdvlk which I didn't cause if there are any instances of amdvlk left on your machine it won't work. I ended up doing a fresh install of EndeavourOS and then installing Steam with the correct install options in order to fix it.
Edit: I'm newer to running arch normally but I'm pretty sure if you don't do something similar the pacman commends I shared then some of the install stays cached on your system. I'm pretty sure I also ran into this cause a yay -R steam only seemed to remove steam and not also its dependencies.

@jonstump
I cannot believe this works. I tried doing the commands you said but it never gave me the prompts for the driver installation again so I reinstalled endeavourOS (I have a backup on my NAS) and it's working. Thank you so much that's amazing.
I really hope they make it so you don't have to reinstall your entire system in order to change drivers like this because this could be a lot more difficult for people who don't have a 6tb brick they can access at all times.
@bonkie25 glad to help. I'm sure there is probably a way to do it correctly, but I'm not as well versed with an arch based system as I am a debian based system so I'm sure I missed something. I bet if we asked on the EndeavourOS forums how to properly purge a driver we'd probably get a better solution than the one I found of reinstalling the system.
