Info regarding Wine-Wayland:

YMMV (Your mileage may vary). Most games that utilizes DXVK or VKD3D should be fine. Games that have native Vulkan or OpenGL are a coin toss. Most launchers should also be fine (Again huge thanks to Etaash, he’s been hammering out a lot off the Wine-Wayland bug fixes, including one that was critical for OpenGL and launcher rendering). If a game or launcher isn’t working, please DON’T come bugging us to fix it. Officially we’re with Valve on this – it’s not supported. It’s there for people to use/try/test out because it’s a wanted feature, that’s the extent of it.

New option for using Wine-Wayland:

PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1

New option for using HDR with Wine-Wayland:

PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1

It goes without saying, but just in case people don’t know – You need Wine-Wayland to use HDR, therefore you need both options for HDR:

PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 %command%

If you want to use Wine-Wayland without HDR, you do NOT need this option:

PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1

Known issues with Wine-Wayland:

DOOM 2016: Opens in small window and crashes on resolution change without mesa patch. Fixed with patch

DOOM Eternal: Crashes without mesa patch. Broken mouse cursor in menus, Broken mouse pointing in-game

DOOM The Dark Ages: Broken mouse pointing in-game

Wolfenstein The Old Blood: OpenGL error crash

Wolfenstein The New Order: OpenGL error crash

Wolfenstein Youn Blood: mangohud broken

Path of Exile/Path of Exile 2: Vulkan renderer broken without mesa patch. Fixed with patch.

AMD-Specific:

mesa patches needed for DOOM 2016 and DOOM Eternal: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/34918

mesa patches needed for DOOM Dark Ages: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/34944

mesa patches needed for Path of Exile/Path of Exile 2 (currently not submitted yet): https://github.com/Nobara-Project/rpm-sources/blob/42/baseos/mesa/min_image_count.patch

Hopefully we can figure out a fix for the cursor issue in the DOOM games. Fingers crossed

    Getting washed out HDR on a 4070ti on 570.144 drivers for whatever reason, but gamescope w/ HDR seem to work perfectly with Proton 10 (Both the valve beta and now GE versions, it’d freeze when trying to enable HDR in the past), having HDR at all in games is a huge win so I’ll take it.

    Tried GoW Raganarok and Cyberpunk for reference

      I don’t know a 100% how the Nvidia part plays out but on AMD you still need the Vulkan HDR layers (https://github.com/Zamundaaa/VK_hdr_layer) in order to get proper color mapping in Wayland. gamescope does it by itself.

      These are no longer needed for AMD after the upcoming Mesa 25.1 release.

        Appreciate it, I’ll take a look thanks!

        Edit: Looks like it works after setting PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 as well, thanks again.

    One thing I just noticed.

    If you’re running a game and the game doesn’t allow you to enable HDR, try adding DXVK_HDR=1 to your launch options. This will make the “DirectX” system tell the game that your system supports HDR.

    This may not affect all games, but Helldivers 2 wouldn’t allow me to enable HDR until I added the env.

    e: Resolved

    This was caused by me using Proton10-1 (beta) instead of GE-Proton10-1.

    I use protonup-rs to install GE-Proton. It downloaded the .tar.zst file but failed to extract it into compatibilitytools.d/. After manually installing GE-Proton10-1, I do not need DXVK_HDR=1 (as it is automatically set if you have PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 set).

    Thanks to Domi@lemmy.secnd.me for helping me troubleshoot.

      Did you set both PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 and PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1?

      PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 also sets DXVK_HDR=1 and ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1.

        Yeah, I set both and no HDR option in-game. Added the DXVK_HDR flag and it appeared.

        It also failed to detect the monitor peak brightness, one of the games was mastering for 2400nits, but my display is only 600. A minor inconvenience since the game allowed manual HDR calibration.

        I’ll dig into it a bit more this weekend and submit a bug report if needed.

        It’s already a massive improvement over trying to use gamescope on NVIDIA hardware and I am sure that they’ll iron out the bugs.

          And you are sure you were using Proton-GE 10.1? The environment variable only exists there and it sets DXVK_HDR here: https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/blob/9d708fa4ed2a1649272edad39196d31edb443529/proton#L1746

          It also failed to detect the monitor peak brightness

          That happens quite often unfortunately. Apparently there are a few dozen ways on Windows to detect monitor peak brightness and not all are implemented in Wine.

            And you are sure you were using Proton-GE 10.1?

            Good catch, I was still using Proton 10.0-1 (beta).

            Looking into it a bit more. I used protonup-rs -q to grab GE-Proton10-1 and running the command again just now, it seems to download the .tar.zst but it doesn’t extract it into compatibilitytools.d/. After manually installing GE-Proton10-1 and selecting the right version, it now properly sets DXVK_HDR.

    Already tried a few games in Wayland with HDR and it works well. Even Helldivers 2 works now without the anti-cheat complaining.

    In the Steam Flatpak the colors are still washed out but I assume that should be fixed with Mesa 25.1.

      I was able to get once human to work using protondb’s suggested launch settings before this patch.

    Great soon we can stop hearing people saying Wayland “isn’t usable” because it doesn’t have HDR support for gaming.

        Heh, mine does but the local dimming is so bad that it’s better off remaining in SDR mode 😅

        (I won’t buy an OLED monitor)

          OLED black is so good, especially with HDR content.

          Burn-in is what you constantly hear online but, anecdotally, I’ve had an OLED TV (LG C1) as my primary display for 3 years now and have never had anything more than some temporary image retention (which was fixed by running a pixel cleaning cycle) after leaving it on over the weekend with a paused movie on the screen.

            I’m willing to stick it out until mirco led reaches consumers.

            I would settle for something comparable to the new MacBook Liquid Retina screens.

            In pitch darkness you cannot see its blacks either. But they use over 9000 local dimming zones (Kakarot!)

    I feel this may be a dumb question, for the portion talking about mesa patches for games; how disconnected utilize these patches?

      I imagine that the patches will be incorporated in the next release.

      Applying patches and building Proton for yourself is an advanced topic and you could break things so proceed with caution:

      The README will have instructions on building proton: https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom

      After step 3, use git apply to apply the patch files that you need from the links above. Here’s a StackOverflow article that may help a bit, or use your favorite search engine (or LLM if you’re feeling lucky) to help you.

      If everything turns out ok and you have your tar.gz file, you can follow the manual installation instructions from the same readme in order to install it.
