Mangohud works in Lutris, but not steam.
I'm using "mangohud %command%" in steam launch options, but games just won't launch. I click play in steam and it tries to launch the game but then the green play icon comes back. Works perfectly in lutris. I've looked up guides but haven't found one that helps.
EDIT: it now works in steam after installing mangohud through Mint's package manager.

I suspect you have installed either Lutris or Steam through flatpak.
Try installing both using the same method or install MangoHud both as a flatpak and a system package.
Also, I recommend enabling MangoHud with 'MANGOHUD=1 %command%' instead.
This worked. My first install of mangohud was through the git hub instructions. But when I installed it through my package manager, it works in steam now. Thanks
Yeah, was gonna say the same. It works fine for me on native steam. But flatpak steam needs flatpak mangohud. This was actually one of the reasons that I stopped using flatpak steam though. Not a problem against flatpaks or even that it didn't work. Hell it worked even during times when native steam didn't work.
However, lots of small differences like this kinda make it harder to utilize existing software and information when the software and the communities around that software don't have flatpak in mind.
