gamescope restarts every time the game is closed (SteamDeck)

[omfgnuts]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Are you using any gamescope patches or a forked version of gamescope?

• The issue occurs on upstream gamescope without any modifications

Current Behavior

Every time I launch the game & close it or put the Steam Deck to sleep while the game is running - gamescope restarts.

It started happening after the recent SteamDeck update.

I would appreciate any debugging instructions & log instructions. If you feel that is the SteamOS issue - i'll delete the ticket and re-submit it to the SteamOS bugtracker.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Launch the game
2. Close it in any way
3. steam (I assume it's the gamescope) just restarts

or

1. Launch the game
2. Press the power button once
3. gamescope restarts

went through the logs.

Issue is caused by game recording. disabling game recording fixes the issues

fwiw its slated to be fixed in a upcoming Steam Deck beta client update: ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux#11498
