How the heck do I get gamescope working with Heroic Games Launcher? (lemmy.world)

This is one is very confusing, which probably speaks to the current UI in Heroic. I just want to say, run this game in gamescope, so I can use HDR.

I have the latest version of Heroic, installed via Flatpak as the devs recommend. If I go to configure the game in the UI it has an entire settings page dedicated to Gamescope but nothing that says "enable gamescope".

Anyone get this working?

Unfortunately it looks washed out and awful.

That tends to happen when HDR is not supported somewhere in the pipeline from the game renderer to the monitor. It's not a standard Wayland feature, most compositors only have experimental or WIP implementations, and X11 is never getting it. You'll also have to use the perfect settings to make it look any good.

When I said "primitive", I really meant "sharpened stick" primitive.

It could also be Flatpak's sandboxing messing it up, so maybe try running the game through Lutris. The existing installation should work fine.
