Bug or Regression?

Bug

Description

Running a game through XWayland (proton-ge/wine-ge) and then switching to another XWayland window will cause the game window to be black. Happens with games like: metro exodus, overwatch, green hell and likely many more (Some games like among us was not affected). If you switch to a Wayland window then it works as expected and the game does not turn to a black window.

How to reproduce

Run a game that uses XWayland.
Switch to another XWayland window.
Switch back to the game.

@vaxerski help me pls i can't play with a black game window

BluewyDiamond · 2024-06-13T01:05:57Z

My bad, I closed it because I thought it was working correctly, but I was actually running the last good commit so I reopened it.

JonathanSteininger · 2024-06-13T07:38:57Z

I have noticed that when running games through proton it black screens the game.
And when running the game through wine it just freezes the last frame.

You can run games fine if you make wine run in wayland mode which is highly experimental. (mileage may vary)

You can also wrap your games in gamescope, but that has its own set of problems. eg. closing gamescope with a bind will not kill the wineserver/game causing weird behavior like failing to start the game the next time.

vaxerski · 2024-06-13T13:20:28Z

can you post the output of xprop when clicking on the game when it's frozen?

and an example not using steam just in case metro.txt @vaxerski

JonathanSteininger · 2024-06-14T02:09:44Z

I have also noticed this only happens when the games are fullscreened. When they are windowed they behave as expected.

These are some xprod outputs I have collected:

Fullscreen Wine

Noita_WINE.txt
Hell_Is_Other_Demons_WINE.txt

Fullscreen Proton

Noita_PROTON.txt
Hell_Is_Other_Demons_PROTON.txt

Same Games in Windowed (working)

This is xprod of the windowed version of each game. They were working when xprod was used.

vaxerski · 2024-06-14T10:04:13Z

can you also get an xprop from sway or something to compare it to a working one?

vaxerski · 2024-06-14T13:36:58Z

hm, there are a few slight differences, but none that should matter... dunno what's up...

BluewyDiamond · 2024-06-15T01:29:23Z

:(

vaxerski · 2024-06-15T14:11:33Z

feel free to tinker with the x props and other stuff, if there is something found that's obviously wrong that might be a lead.

BluewyDiamond · 2024-06-15T22:21:07Z

When lethal company turns black it shows this decorations, does this indicate something useful?

Agent00Ming · 2024-06-15T22:23:21Z

that looks like the game is attempting to minimize itself when it loses focus

BluewyDiamond · 2024-06-15T22:49:18Z

that is interesting, i wonder what did the commit change for the game to attempt to do so? i can't really figure it out myself since i don't know c++ :(

BluewyDiamond · 2024-06-16T02:16:46Z

@JonathanSteininger what are your system specs?

BluewyDiamond · 2024-06-16T13:16:24Z

the last commit 2566d81 just made it worse for me, now it turns black when unfocused

BluewyDiamond · 2024-06-16T13:26:00Z

I have also noticed this only happens when the games are fullscreened. When they are windowed they behave as expected.

this is also true on my side

BluewyDiamond · 2024-06-16T13:57:57Z

@vaxerski can I get code to to make xwayland full screen windows believe it has not lost focus to try it out?

vaxerski · 2024-06-16T17:57:09Z

that looks like the game is attempting to minimize itself when it loses focus

Used to be the case, but we forcefully un-minimize it... Maybe that's broken? Though the state is NORMAL and not iconic

can I get code to to make xwayland full screen windows believe it has not lost focus to try it out?

sure patch.txt

BluewyDiamond · 2024-06-16T18:58:23Z

looks like my intuition was wrong, it still has the same behavior with the patch

Used to be the case, but we forcefully un-minimize it... Maybe that's broken? Though the state is NORMAL and not >iconic

is there other ways to un-minize it? ill try any code changes to try to fix this

vaxerski · 2024-06-16T19:20:00Z

don't think so, afaik the only hint for minimizing is the ICONIC icccm state

UjinT34 · 2024-06-20T20:49:31Z

how tf do I send a focusin event in x

From xproto.h docs for xcb_set_input_focus "A FocusIn and FocusOut event is generated when focus is changed."
So those events should be generated by the current code. And I believe that FocusOut causes this issue. Without xcb_set_input_focus there is no black window issue... but also no kb input.

patch.txt maybe this?

doesn't fix it for me

drakkein · 2024-06-21T17:00:22Z

In my case it made it even worse. Now it freezes when I focus any other window

BluewyDiamond · 2024-06-25T15:06:27Z

any updates? the bug is inconvenient when playing games that only support fullscreen :(

vaxerski · 2024-06-25T16:02:53Z

Not until either someone shows the line at fault or #6608 is done, I am busy with that MR atm.

As a temporary workaround, you can revert 2566d81 (git revert --no-commit 2566d818848b58b114071f199ffe944609376270), but when switching to another XWayland window, the game window will still break

vaxerski · 2024-07-03T17:22:55Z

any small, free game / app that can be tested?

FWIW, I've launched:

cs2
homm5
minecraft

None turned black.

thanks :) will see what I can do if I don't forget tomorrow.

BluewyDiamond · 2024-07-03T17:35:08Z

sorry i made a mistake about just act natural, it works fine, i thought it didn't because momentarily i saw a black screen turns out it was just loading here is another one which has the bug:

pico park: classic edition + fullscreen + protonge/winege

gilesstockman · 2024-07-03T19:18:01Z

possibly an issue with proton? only proton games seem to be affected

Seme4eg · 2024-07-06T07:15:08Z

have same issue with 2 games: elite dangerous and rabbits and steel. Both games become black after i switch workspaces. No matter whether i switch to xwindow or not.

DeRp-MaSte5 · 2024-07-07T22:27:40Z

@gilesstockman The black screen will appear only on proton games, however the game window will freeze if you directly use wine. (doom 2016 and Planetbase, doom 2016 you can change settings ingame, however planetbase cannot be unfullscreened.) A workaround is using stayfocused windowrule, as then your mouse wont accidentally screw up that game, so you don't loose a save, however it makes your other monitor completely useless. One monitor setups wont be effected for that, as switching workspaces will make your game not focus, thus fucking up the game. I first checked if it was a wayland issue, but cinnamon on wayland is working perfectly as intended.

DeRp-MaSte5 · 2024-07-07T22:29:28Z

@vaxerski Doom 2016, has this issue, steam sale is on, making the game cheap as all hell. if its not automatically on, turn on fullscreen ingame. Its like 5$ cad until july 11th

Simon-Sonnleitner · 2024-07-13T12:57:11Z

Same issue here but in F1 23, it also turns black when losing focus.
EDIT: switching ingame settings to windowed (fullscreen) fixes it for me

as long it's non fullscreen it works, the problem would be that some games only has fullscreen support which in that case you're stuck with the bug

KaylaSolace · 2024-07-14T16:37:14Z

I have been having this issue for a long time and it is incredibly frustrating. the second my mouse comes off the game, it's "time to relaunch I guess"

"fullscreen" and "fullscreen windowed" have this issue, however "windowed" does not.

a-usr · 2024-07-15T07:25:27Z

"fullscreen" and "fullscreen windowed" have this issue, however "windowed" does not.

For me fullscreen windowed works just fine in all games, what game are you specifically having this issue in?

UjinT34 · 2024-07-15T08:20:24Z

Noita looks the same in all 3 modes: windowed, fullscreen (windowed), fullscreen (real). Windowed works fine, both fullscreen have the issue. Games might mislabel their modes or might have some minor implementation differences.
If a game doesn't have a borderless mode or this mode doesn't work it's worth trying the windowed mode and making it fullscreen by workspace & window rules.

KaylaSolace · 2024-07-15T15:23:49Z

Off the top of my head shadows of doubt has this issue, but there are a lot more I have noticed it in and just can't remember right now. Can't think of any free ones but as soon as I remember one I will share it.On Jul 15, 2024, at 01:20, UjinT34 ***@***.***> wrote: "fullscreen" and "fullscreen windowed" have this issue, however "windowed" does not.
