Setup FPS limit and performance and metrics overlay
Setup FPS limit and performance and metrics overlay
Hi again
I'm struggling with setting up mangohud now (or really any FPS limiter and performance overlay). Specifically, I can't limit my FPS or display my FPS (and other metrics) to even know what it is.
Any pointers? I've tried:
- Followed the mangohud install steps on github. I didn't install one of those demos because I needed to compile from source but I couldn't find any explicit tutorial or makefile..
- Tried switching between several Proton versions (GE just doesn't work for me I found)
- Tried a billion different ways to run it like with "mangohud" prefix and with variables. Nothing. I think gamescope also doesn't work, I'm not sure.
- Watched several Youtube videos about Mangohud and Goverlay, they weren't really useful.
- Tried Medal Of Honor Airborne on Lutris (local install)
- Tried Webbed on Steam (via steam install)
- Tried heaven benchmark (installed via their .run file)
- The FPS limit switch hotkey (shift F1) works on the goverlay demo cube thing
- The HUD toggle hotkey (shift F12) works on the goverlay demo
More screenshots with various things I tried:
I've been trying this for probably close to 12 hours...Idk what to try anymore :-/
I'm on Linux Mint 22.2, Cinnamon 6.4.8. The laptop is a Thinkpad T470p.
Not sure if this is the right community for this, lmk.
