Hi all!

I've recently come across an issue with launching games from steam. For now I've seen it happen on two games (or rather demos): Crow Country and Sophonce. They launch fine but have some flickering black blocks on the screen that make them unplayable. Here are some images:

This only happens when they go full-screen and on wayland, on X11 works fine. I've tried many versions of proton including eggroll variants.

The games work fine when launched with wine without steam in the middle if i do wine <game.exe> . If i do it this way the games detect that I'm running on an ultra-wide screen and play as such but through steam they stay on 16:9 instead.

My system:

Os: Nobara 40
Kernel: 6.8.12-200.fsync.fc40.x86_64
DE: Gnome 46.2
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D (16) @ 5,05 GHz
GPU 1: AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX
RAM: 32GB

Any help is appreciated,

Thanks!

I don't have an ultrawide to test, but can you set the correct resolution in the game? Maybe it's using the settings from previous launches with 16:9.

Its one of those stylized games where i can not choose resolution, only fullscreen or borderless. And when i choose borderless the screen goes to a small 1080p window.
