I Need help to configure mangohud in STL (steamtinkerlaunch)

General system Gaming, sound and video

I can toggle on mangohud in STL default settings to run in all games.

It is installed, and I can get it working if I manually enter a launch command in steam, but will not run otherwise.

Do I need to tell STL where mangohud is installed? Is that what the mangohud binary dialog is for?

Ok I just did a quick search and there seem to be a few options to do this including the one you are already doing. The other 2 were to use goverlay https://github.com/benjamimgois/goverlay or to set “MANGOHUD=1” on your /etc/environment so it will work on everything.

I don’t use any of these though you would have to decide which is the best option for you.

I’ve been using MangoHUD for a while, never heard of steamtinkerlaunch. You may want to check out MangoJuice. I found it much easier to configure MangoHUD.

I recently found out about it. I actually installed it a while ago, and had forgot about it, but anyway, this site shows what I am trying to do.

Looked pretty cool…until I went to the Github page and saw its last update was in 2023.

Loading mangohud is the first problem I have had with it. Otherwise it runs fine. I have it setup to load any game I want to play, and it allows me a 5 sec window to load itself first to make any tweaks, and then start the game from there. Sort of like a mod manager, but for game settings…
