Grab MangoHud for Winlator Glibc from here: https://github.com/coffincolors/winlator/releases/tag/winlator_mangohud_glibc_v1 Install the bat or move the files manually to a container then close it and go to environment variables and add MANGOHUD=1 and MANGOHUD_CONFIG="insert parameter here" Where you can find the parameters? Here: https://github.com/flightlessmango/MangoHud Some things work and some don't, I tried it on a phone without root so maybe there's limitations. MangoHud works in DXVK and VKD3D, I haven't tried OpenGL. Didn't get it to work in Winlator proot which is a shame Answer from Deleted User on reddit.com

r/linux_gaming on Reddit: Anyone use MangoHud and know how to configure it?
December 2, 2023 -

Hi all, Linux newb here. I'm trying to use MangoHud to monitor my FPS. If you're not familiar, it's just an overlay like Fraps. I've been using it for a while now, and I have Mangohud working fine. I just need to be able to configure it. I want to show the RAM usage as well as the VRAM usage.

The only problem is, for some goofy reason they only supplied an example of the config file. It says "MangoHud.conf.example".

Apparently, they didn't actually create a real config file and put it in place. The location of the example file is /usr/share/doc/Mangohud.

I looked all around for the real one, and I can't find it anywhere. I found a video that says it's supposed to be in a folder located in /home/.config/mangohud. But I have no such folder. Do I simply create one there and move the example config file there? Then rename it and have the file magically start working?

Thank you

r/linux_gaming on Reddit: How to use different custom mangohud config files for different games using Lutris?
November 27, 2024 -

Hello everyone,

I'm running crazy with this, I'm using lutris to run my games but I also use goverlay for my global mangohud management.

The problem is that i want to use a custom mangohud config for a specific game, it uses vkd3d so I cannot use any environment variable to lock the fps like with dx11.

The issue is that I cannot manage to load a custom file for the game, I managed to "enable" mangohud using lutris configuration because it loads the default config but it just ignores my specific file config.

I tried using MANGOHUD_CONFIG environment variable with the correct path, even on my home directory to assure is not a permissions problem but no matter what the game just boots with the default config.

I'm running out of ideas, I just want to have all my other games unlocked but this specific one locked and I don't want to enable the goverlay fps lock because I play games like quake above 240fps an goverlay wont let you switch with the hotkey from an fps lock to none.

Meanwhile I'll create a request to the goverlay github with this issue.

Thank you very much in advance!

-- Solved --

To load a mangohud custom file the correct env variable is: MANGOHUD_CONFIGFILE
