SteamDeck(gamescope session) performance overlay doesn't show in games

Performance overlay does show up while I'm in the SteamDeck UI (when I press CTRL + 2), but it does not show up after I launch the game. Since I set (before starting the game), the info level to 3, while gaming I do see all the mangoapp info, it's just the performance overlay that I can't trigger (I feel it's being rendered on a different "screen", yet I only have one monitor).

I've tried with linux-lts, linux-zen, Proton Experimental and Proton GE (last 3 versions: 9.10, 9.11 and 9.12).

Maybe I'm missing a lib so this is the result of

This happens if I don't create ~/.config/environment.d/gamescope-session.conf as described here https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/HDR_mo … am_session If I create the file, the performance overlay does show up (on the otherwise blank and black screen) when I press CTRL + 2, but not the game (although I can hear the music in the game playing). In the file above I only change eDP-1 to DP-1 and set the resolution to 2560x1440, no other changes.

I'm on an all AMD system and the game I'm trying with is Civ 6 (so DX12).

Re: SteamDeck(gamescope session) performance overlay doesn't show in games

I asked Bazzite developers what they're doing so that the performance overlay works (also in games) for them. They pointed me to this patch https://github.com/hhd-dev/handheld-gam … sion.patch

Since I'm new to Arch I need to find a way to apply the patch to https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gamescope-git and I should be golden.

Re: SteamDeck(gamescope session) performance overlay doesn't show in games

How did you get around the blank screen? I basically have the same issue, but  the mangoapp overlay is all that I want. No matter what, I get a blank screen, even with my display name added to the .conf  file. I honestly don't think the .conf file is being used because I can setting the resolution  to 1080p instead of  4K and  it doesn't change when I start the session.
