Description

Ever since proton-5.13-4 games start up completely black on my second monitor and they freeze. If I start the game on my primary monitor - things are fine, but as soon as I drag it across to the external - it goes black; but unlike starting it up on the second monitor - the game continues to run when black.

This seems to be an issue as of proton-5.13-4, if I downgrade proton to that - everything is fine.

System Info:

  • Fedora 33 / 5.10.15-200.fc33.x86_64
  • 2080 Super Max-Q / 460.39
  • i7-10875H

Research direction

Start by reproducing the black or frozen game window on the second monitor using Fedora 33, kernel 5.10.15-200.fc33.x86_64, the RTX 2080 Super Max-Q, and driver 460.39. Compare behavior between proton-5.13-4 and the working Proton version, including launching on the external monitor versus moving the game there; done means rendering and interaction remain functional in both cases.
