Some Games(DX12) no longer run with Mangohud Enabled on Steam #1481
Description
Installed version & system:
mangohud 0.7.2-2
lib32-mangohud 0.7.2-1
EndeavourOS
Kernel 6.11.7-arch1-1
AMD CPU/GPU
Description of the bug
So I updated my system the last day or two and all of a sudden some games, such as The First Descendent, Halo: Infinite and Hogwarts Legacy has trouble starting. Black Screen with half of mangohud loaded is all I can see, seems frozen, high CPU usage on some cores.
Sometimes rebooting the system helps the game start again, but I just tested and removing the mangohud launch option solves the issue, putting it back in the same session, brings the issue back. Logging out of the desktop session and back in does not help. Switching from Proton Experimental to 9.0-3 does not help. I have had the issue on this kernel and lts.
hardware/software information:
- Endeavour OS (KDE PLASMA)
- MangoHud version 0.7.2-2
- GPU: RX 6600XT
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Launch the game with the "mangohud %command%" launch option on Steam.
- If black screen/freeze on startup, "STOP" the game and remove the launch options.
- Game Starts normally
- Close the game, add the launch option back
- Black Screen again.
Expected behavior
I expect the game to start along with Mangohud as normal, all the above-mentioned games were running fine in the past.
Additional context
I recently updated my Mangohud config to include average and 1% low frame rates, but it did run fine and does still run fine on other games not exhibiting this behavior...
