Linux freezing in-game, full screen broken

[Aphex00]

Game or games this happens in

ULUS 00001 WIPEOUT PURE

What area of the game / PPSSPP

When I load this game and several others on the Linux version of the new build, fullscreen is now only a quarter of the size on the top left of the screen and when a game starts, there is a second or so freeze, completely ruining the ability to play.

Not much to add on how to replicate. I've tested this on my pc and two laptops, all running Linux mint 22.2.

There were no problems before.

What should happen

There needs to be a review on this linux version of PPSSPP.

What do you mean with "the new build"? Which old build are you comparing to, that worked before?

This is not expected, and doesn't match with my testing.

What window manager are you using, and which GPU?

Hi Henrik,

Sorry if I wasn't clear enough. What I mean by the newest build would be 1.19.3 public release currenty available for download. I didn't experience these issues on the previous public release to this.

I'm running Linux mint which uses Mutter as it's windows manager and I'm using a RX 6750 xt GPU.

My other system is using an intergrated amd GPU Rx vega 6.

I am also not able to even close the app in desktop mode. I tried every way and it doesn't work. Even through system monitor. This issue has been there for months. I am using a steam deck.

I have this issue too. The app will either close after several seconds or not at all, forcing me to reset my machine.

yeah I also cannot fullscreen from the flatpak version, but it does work in the appimage version

Only flatpak version have fullscreen issue? or AppImage too?

If only flatpak have this issue, may be it use SDL3 with SDL2-compat 🤔 which already fixed on official AppImage version. Similar issue to #20508 (comment) ?

yes only the flatpak version has this issue, the appimage fullscreens correctly, although sometimes it's slow to fullscreen and takes a second or two

I have the same problem. I am using the flatpack version, that Emudeck installed. Version 1.19.3. The application is broken in linux and game mode. Like OP said, only a quarter in the top left corner. When opening in Desktop Mode it's impossible to close the application. I have dock dock the console and close it with task manager.

I've done more testing and can confirm the app image doesn't have the fullscreen issue so I've moved over to this. However I'm still getting issues with freezes when playing games. So when I start a race in wipeout pure, when the countdown runs to "GO" there is a freeze just before and intermittently throughout the game. I've had similar issues in various games.

I'm also encountering issues on steam deck with the latest release appimage, sometimes can't close application & after i kill it via terminal i can't open the appimage again until i restart my steam deck, flatpak version also has this problem & the mentioned above fullscreen option defaults to top left corner only, not proper full screen.

I did test and can confirm this issue is still in the flathub version. Newest Arch and Fedora both have the issue while steamdeck launched via steam weirdly doesn't. AppImage is working correctly.

@Aphex00 Could you try again as the currently MR on the flatpak should have fixed the full-screen issue.
