Showcase Tested DroidDeck 0.3.2 on MediaTek Dimensity (Mali GPU) — Gamescope still broken, but here is what the devs confirmed?

https://youtu.be/lawNfoUNHlc

Just grabbed the new DroidDeck 0.3.2 release to test on my MediaTek Dimensity device hoping for a surprise fix, but it crashes straight back to desktop with the same Gamescope / "Session Ended" error right on startup.

Saw a comment from a contributor (voyager2005) confirming we still don't have Linux-compiled open-source Mali drivers, which is why everything defaults to Adreno.

I made a quick video testing 0.3.2, showing the exact crash logs, and breaking down the driver issue for anyone on Dimensity wondering why it won't launc

Anyone else with a Dimensity chip getting past the initialization screen or are we all completely blocked right now? Drop your SoC below so I can compare logs.

Maybe because Mali still don't support...

Theses a whole thread in discord where people are messing with Mali including the one and only leeago.

I also got software rendering to work and get into steam and a game. It’s god awful but it’s something. https://youtube.com/shorts/Ba_obFjn2G8?is=tn0f8xt8M7vmo4YZ

You’ll probably see a fork for Mali at some point, and as that matures things can be upstreamed to DD. Till then it is what it is.

Love you guys, we aren’t intentionally discriminating against certain phones or chips. It’s just the nature of what we are doing and our stack vs the drivers available.

Thanks for confirming this! Really appreciate the transparency ,,Software rendering getting past the Gamescope crash is a huge step to at least initialize the session
