Hi everyone! Yesterday I bought Hearts of Iron 4 on Steam but it didn't run at all on wayland. I tried using Proton Experimental, Proton GE latest, Proton 8.0.2 but none worked (even though on ProtonDB people say it works with proton 8.0.2). Then I switched to Xorg (which I never use and I would like not to), and it suddenly worked... is there a way to play it on Wayland or is it just Xorg?

Using:

  • archlinux (everything updated)
  • mesa latest from the stable repository
  • wine-staging
  • RX 6900XT
  • Gnome 44

For me it seems like games regularly fail to launch on Wayland but are fine with X. Did you try Gamescope?
