I am having issues with Mangohud and Goverlay.

Upon opening Goverlay it gives a black box and has issues closing without forcing it shutdown.

https://ibb.co/pnzKZdd

OS: Arch Linux x86_64 Kernel: Linux 6.9.5-zen1-1-zen DE: KDE Plasma 6.0.5 WM: KWin (Wayland) CPU: 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-12700KF (20) @ 5.00 GHz GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 [Discrete] Memory: 4.09 GiB / 62.60 GiB (7%)

I have tried uninstalling both Goverlay and Mangohud

I have also removed .conf files from: ~/.config/MangoHud /usr/share/doc/mangohud

Is there more that I need to do to clean uninstall and reinstall?

Any help would be appreciated

If you are trying to config Mangohud, just edit his config file.

Readme

Archwiki

even after renaming MangoHud.conf to MangoHud.conf.old in ~/.config/MangoHud/ And launch a game with MangoHud, it does work. However, where would the config be if it doesn't show up in ~/.config/MangoHud/

That's what I am trying to figure out, the Readme and Archwiki don't have the paths I am looking for.
