Enter Gaming Mode
|
||
|
||
Once installed and after re-logging in if requested:
|
||
1. Press SUPER+SHIFT+S.
|
||
2. A themed TUI will appear.
|
||
|
||
1. Previous settings prompt
|
||
If you have launched gaming mode before, you’ll see:
|
||
• “Previous settings found. Use previous settings?”
|
||
• Yes – reuse saved resolution and MangoHud options
|
||
• No – go through the wizards again
|
||
|
||
2. Resolution selector
|
||
You’ll be shown your current display (e.g. 3840×2160 @ 60Hz) and:
|
||
• Native resolution (best quality)
|
||
• 1440p upscaled from 1080p (more FPS)
|
||
• Native 1440p
|
||
• 1440p → 4K upscaled (balanced)
|
||
• Native 4K/UHD
|
||
|
||
These correspond to different Gamescope render/output combinations.
|
||
|
||
3. MangoHud overlay
|
||
Choose one of:
|
||
• Off – no overlay
|
||
• Minimal – FPS only, recommended
|
||
• Full Stats – detailed CPU/GPU metrics, frametime graph, temps, etc.
|
||
|
||
4. Launch screen
|
||
A final “Launching Gaming Mode” screen summarises:
|
||
• Chosen render resolution
|
||
• Output resolution
|
||
• Refresh rate
|
||
• MangoHud preset
|
||
|
||
The script then:
|
||
• Exports the correct MANGOHUD_CONFIG (if enabled)
|
||
• Runs gamemoderun gamescope ... -- steam <args>
|
||
• Stores the Gamescope PID under ~/.cache/gaming-session/session.pid
|
||
|
||
By default Steam is launched in Big Picture/tenfoot mode.
|
||
|
||
Exit Gaming Mode
|
||
|
||
When you’re done:
|
||
• Press SUPER+SHIFT+R.
|
||
|
||
This runs leave-gamesmode, which:
|
||
• Finds and cleanly kills the running Gamescope session created by W.O.P.R.
|
||
• Restores:
|
||
• CPU governors
|
||
• GPU performance / power settings (where possible)
|
||
• Any idle/lock tweaks created for the session
|
||
• Removes the session lock files in ~/.cache/gaming-session/.
|
||
|
||
If Gamescope failed to start or exits early, the cleanup routines still run to return your system to its previous state.
