Bingo, yes this is the same issue for what they say. I am connected through DisplayPort though on all my screens. Shame that it is not being worked on but from my testing I assume that when steam moves proton to support wayland natively it will be fixed. Thanks for the info, very interesting!!


Its one of those stylized games where i can not choose resolution, only fullscreen or borderless. And when i choose borderless the screen goes to a small 1080p window.


Thanks for the input! I tried it but no luck, the black blocks are still there and it still renders on 16:9. Thanks though!!


Yes i read that in the documentation but for some unkown reason if i omit either the lowercase or the uppercase the game won’t even start! Only the gamescope instance.


I’m running with the mesa drivers on version Mesa 24.2.0-devel. After some tinkering around it seems its a combination of things and gamescope fixes the black blocks but it still won’t render in ultrawide, so I’ll just stick with wine and lutris for now which seems to work fine.

Thanks for the help!!


I think you are correct assuming it’s an issue with proton not supporting wayland as if i try to use lutris proton still doesn’t work but wine does and so does with gamescope.

I’m trying to use gamescope now as you and the other comment have mentioned but I’m having the issue with this command, if you could help me:

gamescope -w 3440 -h 1440 -W 3440 -H 1440 %command%

It creates a window of the appropriate size but the game is still in 16:9 (Without the black blocks issue, which is already a win, but i’d prefer it to be ultrawide too).

Thanks for the help!!

EDIT: Just tried it with Lutris but it seems to also not work even with their setup on proton. So it might be a them thing. For now I’ll just use lutris to play on wine directly.


[Solved-ish] Having issues launching games specifically from steam
Hi all! I've recently come across an issue with launching games from steam. For now I've seen it happen on two games (or rather demos): Crow Country and Sophonce. They launch fine but have some flickering black blocks on the screen that make them unplayable. Here are some images: https://pasteboard.co/qXH4H5gm7sIS.jpg https://pasteboard.co/7k9XM394Zlsi.jpg https://pasteboard.co/6vPC8GYxhHu8.jpg This only happens when they go full-screen and on wayland, on X11 works fine. I've tried many versions of proton including eggroll variants. The games work fine when launched with wine without steam in the middle if i do `wine <game.exe> `. If i do it this way the games detect that I'm running on an ultra-wide screen and play as such but through steam they stay on 16:9 instead. My system: ``` Os: Nobara 40 Kernel: 6.8.12-200.fsync.fc40.x86_64 DE: Gnome 46.2 CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D (16) @ 5,05 GHz GPU 1: AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX RAM: 32GB ``` Any help is appreciated, Thanks!
