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?

    gamescope is a mess inside of Flatpak as of right now. Some issue with using Proton inside of gamescope inside of Flatpak.

    I played Alan Wake 2 using the native Heroic version and native gamescope.

    The gamescope version still needs to be pretty recent. After starting the game make sure its brightness does not change when you play with the SDR intensity slider. If it does, it’s not using HDR.

    Also, Alan Wake is a pretty bleak looking game in general so you might want to pop some flares to bring some color for testing.

      Ah - thanks for the heads up about the Flatpak version. I have everything running in Flatpak, Steam as well, so that may be why I’ve had zero luck with HDR.

        I was not able to get HDR working in Flatpak, neither through Wine Wayland nor through gamescope.

        So if you manage to do it let me know. :D

          I got it to engage, the game thinks it’s running in HDR but it just looks really bad
