(Solved) Games not launching with gamescope enabled (lemm.ee)

I have installed lutris & gamescope as flatpaks, however when I try to launch games (namely gta sa & mod organizer 2) with the gamescope setting enabled, they simply fail to launch. Is there something I am missing?

OS: Linux Mint 21.3 Virginia

Solved: Switched to Wayland and it worked

Debian based distros tend to be slower to update for stability reasons so your graphics drivers might be out of date

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope

AMD requires Mesa 20.3+, Intel requires Mesa 21.2+. For NVIDIA's proprietary driver, version 515.43.04+ is required (make sure the nvidia-drm.modeset=1 kernel parameter is set).

Do these games launch when the gamescope option is disabled?

You can also check the logs by selecting the game in lutris and pressing the arrow beside the play button on the bottom to bring up the logs and see if theres any useful info there
