Bug ID: 492830
Summary: Fullscreen Games Not Displaying Properly
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 6.1.1
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: nathaniel.gra...@protonmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When playing Shapez 2 (it's not the only game that does this, it's just an
example. Though not all games do this), attempting to play in Fullscreen mode
does not display properly. When attempting to get a screen recording with OBS,
instead of recording the issue, it records the game as it *should* be, not as
it *is*. As in, OBS sees the game playing, and I'm able to interact with the
game completely normally with both keyboard and mouse, but my monitor does not
see anything change. OBS does.
This only occurs on my external monitor. If I move the game to my laptop
screen, this issue does not occur.
My monitor is connected via USB4 with a USB-C connection using the Display-Port
protocol. On my laptop, this USB4 port is connected directly to my GPU
(Framework 16).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch Shapez 2
OBSERVED RESULT
After a few seconds, the game appears to freeze. However, it is not really
frozen, as the mouse can continue to interact with the game, provided you know
what's supposed to be rendering. OBS can see what's actually happening,
allowing me to interact with the settings menu to tinker.
EXPECTED RESULT
The game should render normally.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I have also experienced this in Guild Wars 2 when on `kwin 6.1.3`. For some
reason GW2 works fine on 6.1.1 but Shapez 2 does not.
I have a recording of this occurring on my phone. I've uploaded it to imgur,
since its too big to upload here. Let me know if there is a better location for
uploading it, I'm happy to do that too.
