[Game] Hunt Showdown gets ignored by the compositor (CryEngine V / ProtonGE)

[onlyreportingissues]

When starting the game, it won't show anywhere (but the sound is playing). There is no window appearing, no app in the app tray is showing up and the workspace overview won't show any window of the game either.

There is a specific gamma issue this game has on Linux, maybe it will cause the same behaviour on COSMIC with other games that share this issue also: doitsujin/dxvk#3291

Related to the linked issue above:

The gamma slider doesn't work.

Apparently it's a CRYENGINE thing: https://docs.cryengine.com/display/CRYAUTOGEN/CONSOLEPREFIXR#AnchorRGAMMA

The gamma is changed at hardware-level only, not software-level. The option is called "r_gamma" in the game.cfg file.

Also, "Call of Duty: Ghosts" is one of those "invisible" games.

We can add Wreckfest to this list. Unsure exactly when it started to occur.

My own current system details are:

• Fedora 40
• Nvidia 555.x driver (beta, manual install)
• 6.9.1-200.fc40.x86_64 (kernel)
• mesa (git, regular pulls)

These all seem to be Xwayland issues?

Had to change the resolution in the game.cfg file manually, now Hunt Showdown works in bordered window mode.
