I understand that for modern games like CS2, KWin can automatically switch modesets to match the application resolution. However, older games such as CS1.6 or CS: Source do not trigger this behavior maybe because they do not request a matching modeset in the same way. ... The goal is to allow users to run legacy games at non-native 4:3/5:4 resolutions while maintaining high refresh rates (e.g., 240Hz) on Wayland sessions. This is similar to Windows' "desktop mode vs active signal mode" approach. A user-controllable logical viewport or scaled desktop resolution could address these use cases, providing full compatibility for both modern and legacy applications without relying on Gamescope. Anyway, Thank you for considering this scenario. I understand it’s a niche case, but it is important for maintaining compatibility with legacy games on high-refresh-rate displays. ( PS. Using Gamescope as a workaround is possible, but on NVIDIA hardware it brings worse performance and currently does not support the Wayland backend fully, which limits usability for competitive gaming scenarios. ) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
