How the heck do I get gamescope working with Heroic Games Launcher? (lemmy.world)

This is one is very confusing, which probably speaks to the current UI in Heroic. I just want to say, run this game in gamescope, so I can use HDR.

I have the latest version of Heroic, installed via Flatpak as the devs recommend. If I go to configure the game in the UI it has an entire settings page dedicated to Gamescope but nothing that says "enable gamescope".

Anyone get this working?

I believe only plasma 6 has support for HDR, and it requires additional config to enable it with games. Otherwise, it will look washed out as you found.

Alternatively, you can use gamescope-session which is basically running gamescope as a standalone like the steam deck.

Yeah I was running the game under Plasma 6 with HDR enabled and inside a game scope container.

Sounds like there are some issues with Flatpak and HDR so that may be what I am hitting.

What additional configuration are you referring to?

Looking here, you might not need it anymore: https://zamundaaa.github.io/wayland/2024/05/11/more-hdr-and-color.html

But make sure gamescope is a recent version.
