Gamescope causing bad visual artifacting on older games

Linux Gaming@lemmy.ml – 37 points – 10 months ago

Whenever I try to use gamescope on a few games, it produces weird visual artifacting that looks like lots of small sections of the screen are in the wrong place.

Example 1: https://i.imgur.com/9j9LLYm.jpeg - spec ops: the line

Example 2: https://i.imgur.com/FvA51pT.jpeg - dishonored

Any ideas what's causing this?

I'm using gamescope -f -H 2560 -W 1440 -- %command%. It also happens if I just do gamescope %command%.

System information:

CPU: Ryzen 7800x3d

Honestly kickass new background. Thx imma borrow that.

Lol

That's just the resolution of back then, your eyes will adjust :P

A quick question: Does this happen without gamescope as well?

No, they run fine without gamescope (just want it for fixing mouse lock issues)

ive had the same problem on a couple of games on amd plasma wayland but no gamescope
