Gamescope causing bad visual artifacting on older games (lemmy.world)

Whenever I try to use gamescope on a few games, it produces weird visual artifacting that looks like lots of small sections of the screen are in the wrong place.

Example 1: https://i.imgur.com/9j9LLYm.jpeg - spec ops: the line

Example 2: https://i.imgur.com/FvA51pT.jpeg - dishonored

Any ideas what's causing this?

I'm using gamescope -f -H 2560 -W 1440 -- %command%. It also happens if I just do gamescope %command%.

That's just the resolution of back then, your eyes will adjust :P

A quick question: Does this happen without gamescope as well?

[–] Darorad 1 points 10 months ago

No, they run fine without gamescope (just want it for fixing mouse lock issues)
