Yume Nikki has a Platinum rating on ProtonDB but I’m having some trouble trying to get it to work.

It’s starts just fine and seems to run, but a window flashes for a second and then nothing happens. The only reason I know it’s running is because Steam says so.

I tried changing the launch options to use gamescope and it seemed to work, but there was noticable lag and it seemed to show the previous frame, like a ghost image or something. It made the text almost impossible to read.

I’m running the Steam Flatpak on Arch Linux with Gnome 44. Any help is appreciated. TIA.

    I figured out why Gnome on Xorg was crashing. It was because of libinput-config. I noticed because it wouldn’t actually crash until the moment I moved the mouse. The game seems to work perfectly on Xorg.

    I already tried gamescope. The results of that attempt are in my original post above.

    Still, while I can finally play the game now, it’s a bit annoying having to remove a package and reboot everytime. I don’t even know if this is a Wayland issue or a Gnome issue but I don’t have the disk space to install KDE or anything.

    Ideally I would like to figure out why this is happening in the first place and maybe report it upstream, but I have no clue how to even get debug logs out of this.

    Anyway, thanks for the help. I appreciate it!

      No problem!

      Sounds like that may actually be an issue with a config file somewhere. You could check the wiki on libinput and poke around the configs if you think it may be necessary to keep the package.
