 |
|
Steam games, even native linux games, will not start on my Wayland/Hyprland gentoo box. The games install just fine, but steam will not show them, or run them. When starting the games with Lutris, I get this message:
| Code: | lutris-wrapper: Project Zomboid
Started initial process 17260 from /usr/bin/steam steam://rungameid/108600

Monitored process exited.

Does anyone have experience with this?

sort of... I migrated to flatpak for STEAM... the multilib and mesa stuff from the gentoo side (being a rolling release) was causing major issues with games, which update slower.
Life has been soo much easier and more consistent with STEAM since I commited to flatpak

| If I switch to flatpak, other than the drawbacks of performance, will games run under the flatpak or natively, under the original system. Are there any other drawbacks to using the flatpak? |

they will run natively.
There is next to no performance hit since flatpak is a sandbox framework and still uses alot of your native system.
Only real drawback I have seen is you need to remember to run flatpak --update periodically to ensure the underlying libraries are up to date.
To put this into perspective... I recently hit a MAJOR performance issue with DOTA2 being hit the hardest... would sit at 60fps then collapse to 10fps after 10min...
I converted back to SYSTEM from FLATPAK (case of moving the key directory so you don't need to re-download) and well all the compatibilities issues I had years ago were even worse... so moved back to FLATPAK ...
the root cause of my issue was actually kernel-6.10.x (with .10 being worse than .3 and 6.10.3 being significantly worse than 6.9.x...) Enabling BAR in my BIOS had my performance retuen with fps being 120 constant across games...

| So, let me get this straight, it will use the system, not flatpak, to run the games, just the steam runtime? I usually don't use flatpak for things, so this is new for me. |

| It was fixed by using the flatpak. It's most likely because of my messy USE flags. |

It will use the flatpak libraries (eg say the 32bit stuff and consistently built) but will defer to the system for other things
it will sandbox away access, which is useful for limiting access...
