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.

    Yeah, was gonna say the same. It works fine for me on native steam. But flatpak steam needs flatpak mangohud. This was actually one of the reasons that I stopped using flatpak steam though. Not a problem against flatpaks or even that it didn’t work. Hell it worked even during times when native steam didn’t work.

    However, lots of small differences like this kinda make it harder to utilize existing software and information when the software and the communities around that software don’t have flatpak in mind.
