Add pressure-vessel's overrides data dir to XDG_DATA_DIRS #1281
Conversation
This is a hack until the underlying issue is fixed in the steam-runtime. Pressure-vessel mounts Flatpak extensions on a different path within the container, and that breaks Vulkan Layers due to that path not being in Vulkan-Loader's search paths, documented on: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Loader/blob/main/docs/LoaderLayerInterface.md#linux-layer-discovery This directory doesn't exist outside a pressure-vessel container, which is only used by games and not by all of them. But still, adding it to XDG_DATA_DIRS in finish-args shouldn't cause any adverse effect, as these search paths are not required to be all valid. fixes flathub#1280

I've reported the issue to upstream, and updated the description with a link to it. We could probably drop this change in the future if upstream resolves the problem in steam-runtime. |

I just tried this, and can report that MangoHud is once again working. A bit of an oddity I had was that my presets.conf file was nowhere to be found, but I just copied from the main MangoHud repo and the HUD magically appeared! Thank you @jntesteves for this workaround!! |

Is the reason why this only went to beta due to the fact that its considered a "hack"? |
No. It went to beta because that's where all contributions to this package go, to be tested, and at a later time, at the maintainers' discretion and whenever they have the time, will be promoted to the stable channel. |
