MangoHud

MangoHud is a Vulkan and OpenGL overlay for monitoring system performance while inside applications and to record metrics for benchmarking.

Installation

Install mangohud^AUR or mangohud-git^AUR.

Configuration

MangoHud is configured via the following files, which are read in the following order:

$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/MangoHud/MangoHud.conf
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/MangoHud/APPLICATION-NAME.conf (case-sensitive)
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/MangoHud/wine-APPLICATION-NAME.conf (for Wine applications, case-sensitive, without the .exe extension)
./MangoHud.conf
$MANGOHUD_CONFIGFILE (via environment variables)

GUI for configuration

A GUI for configuring MangoHud can be installed from .

Usage

Test configuration

Verify if the program has been setup correctly:

$ mangohud glxgears
$ mangohud vkcube

Run a single game

To run a game with MangoHud start it like this:

$ mangohud game

Dynamic hooking

Certain applications may require a special type of hooking, which can be specified via the parameter or the environment variable:

$ mangohud --dlsym game

Use with Gamemode

To launch a game with both MangoHud and gamemode, chain the two commands into a single one, like this:

$ mangohud gamemoderun game

Run a single steam game

To make Steam start a game with MangoHud, right click the game in the Library, select Properties..., then in the Launch Options text box enter:

mangohud %command%

Run Steam with MangoHud

To avoid having to change launch options for all games, you may launch Steam directly with MangoHud:

$ mangohud steam-runtime

MangoHud will detect Steam and will avoid loading itself until a game is launched.

Enable for all Vulkan games

To make MangoHud automatically launch with all Vulkan games, it is possible to set the following environment variable:

MANGOHUD=1

gollark: Although I don't think your justification is very reasonable - it's not remotely like coercing someone if you tell them to do something and it turns out that they have some sort of brain glitch which means they'll randomly unconditionally do it.

gollark: *You* haven't, I think, no.

gollark: Specific, LIMITED and well-defined ways.

gollark: Not restricted arbitrarily by social media platforms/political convenience.

gollark: Restricted somewhat in specific and well-defined ways, potentially.
