Lately I moved to wayland (trying out sway and hyprland) and have been using gamescope to work around some of the display issues which x11 games have in wayland. This works great however none of the options and settings I try seem to be able to get the steam overlay working.

I found a couple of related issues #835 and #810 however it appears that this is not something that impacts everyone.

So my question is, does anyone here have gamescope working with the steam overlay?

I tried launching steam itself in gamescope, and also tried embedded mode (launching from a tty) and neither of those work either. I find that particularly strange because at that point it’s just an x session and everything seems like it should work just like it does in X.
