[OpenGL] Bioshock Infinite only renders new frames when the mouse is moved

[K0bin]

When running the Bioshock Infinite Linux version with MangoHud, the game only renders new frames when it receives input events. So unless I press a key or move the mouse, I'm just seeing a static image.

Here's a short video of the behavior: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3F5NBHByqI
The game itself does not freeze up. As soon as I move the mouse, I instantly get a new frame and as long as I keep moving it, it runs normally. As soon as I stop, the game also stops rendering (or presenting?) new frames.
Note that the beviour also happens in fullscreen mode.

Dafuq, some strange side effect of glXQueryDrawable.
Set gl_size_query=viewport in config file.

I am having the same exact issue. Setting MANGOHUD_CONFIG="gl_size_query=viewport" Doesn't seem to fix it.

The problem for me persisted even after disabling (and even uninstalling) mangohud. Fixed it by running it through lutris instead using the script on lutris website, although I have no idea why it works.

Edit: My bad, lutris did not use the nvidia gpu even with the prime option checked. Still does not work.

I can reproduce the issue with Bioshock Infinite and XCOM: Enemy Unknown.

Dafuq, some strange side effect of glXQueryDrawable. Set gl_size_query=viewport in config file.

Thanks a lot, it works in both games ^_^
MANGOHUD_CONFIG="read_cfg,gl_size_query=viewport" also works.

I have encountered this issue today. The last time that I played Bioshock Infinite, it was fine. I also had MangoHud activated.
I had Kubuntu 20.04, Steam (I don't know the version). I had MangoHud v0.6.1.
This time, I have MangoHud v0.6.5.
I uninstalled 0.6.5 and installed 0.6.1 but the problem was still present, so maybe there is something else going on?

I tried
MANGOHUD_CONFIG="read_cfg,gl_size_query=viewport" %command% -ReadTexturePoolFromIni

and that seems to work.
You still have to move around the mouse or touch your keyboard for the first seconds to get the game started up. It starts showing the animation about 2K interactive, then you can let go of the mouse.

Weird.

//EDIT: I spoke too soon. Looks like it read_cfg,gl_size_query=viewport doesn't do much.
Sometimes it works and sometimes not.
This does the same thing
%command% -ReadTexturePoolFromIni
(Sometimes it works, sometimes not. Sometimes, the intro stuff plays but instead of reaching the menu, it gives a black screen. I have to go to Steam and press Stop to stop the process. I press on Play again. Sometimes it works on the second try. Sometimes the 3rd. In each case, in the beginning, you have to shake the mouse for 1 or 2 s so that the game runs.
When you try to Quit, again, it freezes up. You have to shake the mouse for 1 or 2 s and then process quits.)
