I’m using “mangohud %command%” in steam launch options, but games just won’t launch. I click play in steam and it tries to launch the game but then the green play icon comes back. Works perfectly in lutris. I’ve looked up guides but haven’t found one that helps.

EDIT: it now works in steam after installing mangohud through Mint’s package manager.

    I suspect you have installed either Lutris or Steam through flatpak.

    Try installing both using the same method or install MangoHud both as a flatpak and a system package.

    Also, I recommend enabling MangoHud with ‘MANGOHUD=1 %command%’ instead.

      This worked. My first install of mangohud was through the git hub instructions. But when I installed it through my package manager, it works in steam now. Thanks

    Steam has it’s own copy of mangohud in the launch env, that messes with locally installed version, you have to uninstall the local version for it to work in steam last I checked
