I just bought a nice OLED monitor and I’m trying to take advantage of it to play my games in HDR. If I run my games in gamescope, then HDR runs fine but my PS4 controller doesn’t work. If I play without gamescope, the controller works, but HDR does not.

I’ve been trying to figure this out for a bit, and some people have been having some luck with the -e flag, which does nothing for me.I’ve tried Steam Input and overlay in all combinations of enabled and disabled and I’ve tried in big picture/gamepadui. Either way I have to choose between HDR and the controller. Has anyone gotten this to work?

Not familiar with it – never used gamescope myself – but there are various people talking about what may be your issue at:

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope/issues/782

and

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope/issues/1180

And they list other workarounds.

The -steamos3 thing looks like it might be worth a try.

Someone also noted that if the game supports the controller, you can manually disable steam input for that game. Apparently the root cause is game scope doesn’t play nicely with Wayland.

Try running the game with older Proton, 6.x

What distro are you using? Have you tried Bazzite?

I’m on Nobara. I doubt that the distro is the source of the issue.

No, but it can be the one who packages an issue that has already been fixed. But if you are on Nobara chances are you’ll face almost the same ones on Bazzite.
