@marie:marie.cologneMariei'm very confused13:20:59
@marie:marie.cologneMariebut at least it works now13:21:01
@atemu12:matrix.orgAtemuWell perhaps that's the issue? Because it's set as the user's shell? Though I would have expected that to simply be normalised within the container to prevent stuff like this. Don't know how flatpak generally handles users inside its NS16:51:23
@k900:0upti.meK900Yeah it should remap16:51:48
@k900:0upti.meK900I think16:51:49

@codebam:matrix.orgSean

trying to use gamescope and I simplified this command for demonstration, but essentially it doesn't display the window (but makes sound) with -e (steam overlay integration)?

gamescope -e -- %command%

15:17:25
@k900:0upti.meK900That's not what that does15:24:26
@k900:0upti.meK900That flag is for nesting Steam in gamescope15:25:13
@k900:0upti.meK900The way SteamOS does it15:25:16
@codebam:matrix.orgSeanoh so I should nest steam, then run the game normally?15:25:51
@k900:0upti.meK900No, you should not use that at all15:27:25
@k900:0upti.meK900It's not for you, it's a SteamOS implementation detail15:27:32
@codebam:matrix.orgSeanokay15:27:42
@codebam:matrix.orgSean I did LD_PRELOAD="$HOME/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_64/gameoverlayrenderer.so" and that allegedly fixes the lag after 20 mins 15:35:11
@codebam:matrix.orgSeanwithout disabling the overlay15:35:23
@codebam:matrix.orgSeanbut I'll report back if it doesn't15:35:36
@codebam:matrix.orgSean* but I'll report back if it doesn't (or if it does)15:35:44
@magic_rb:matrix.redalder.orgmagic_rbhell yeah i need that15:42:23
@magic_rb:matrix.redalder.orgmagic_rbidk if its what i was getting in bg3 yesterday, because normally that only happeens inside gamescope, but yesterday i was playing without15:42:50
@codebam:matrix.orgSeanif you want to fix the overlay lag for sure just use LD_PRELOAD=""15:55:54
@codebam:matrix.orgSeanthat'll disable the overlay though15:56:04
@codebam:matrix.orgSeanthis doesn't work15:59:11
@amadejkastelic:matrix.orgAmadej Kastelic joined the room.18:27:07
@amadejkastelic:matrix.orgAmadej Kastelic set a profile picture.18:29:22
@sapphire:pub.solarSapphire changed their profile picture.20:16:20
@magic_rb:matrix.redalder.orgmagic_rb makes sense, as thats the default afaik, its why unset LD_PRELOAD works, it undoes that 21:52:40
@alisonjenkins:matrix.orgAlison JenkinsI have found another fix that works in the last few days. Patching bubble wrap to allow caps and then enabling capSysNice for gamescope. 22:26:07
@alisonjenkins:matrix.orgAlison JenkinsStill testing it though but so far so good, no stutter at all yet22:26:49
@atemu12:matrix.orgAtemuThat doesn't work though22:26:54
@atemu12:matrix.orgAtemuYou can't get that cap inside of a NS22:27:13
