How do I properly use gamescope (self.linux_gaming)

I am trying to use gamescope and mangohud at same time so I ran gamescope -e -W 2560 -H 1440 -r 144 --mangoapp %command% (to run at 1440p at 144fps I think) as the launch option on steam but when I load into the game aiming goes crazy like 100x sensitivity but cursor movement (like in setting etc is normal). Is the command wrong I also hit win+f to make full screen. Is this the right way to use gamescope?

nvidia gpu
endeavoros

I'm surprised to game can launch at all. For me it crashes instantly.

are you talking about hunt showdown the game or just playing with gamescope. For Hunt you need to use bleeding edge version of proton. Its in the beta setting of proton experimental.

Edit: as for gamescope yea it has not went well haha

Sorry for the late response, I meant gamescope. I looked into it, it seems like umu-run has a bug where it expects DISPLAY=:0 but gamescope sets DISPLAY=:1. At least that's my understanding. It has been patched in the repo but there's no release with the patch yet.

Gamescope works fine if umu-run is not used to run the program.
