# MangoHud
A Vulkan and OpenGL overlay for monitoring FPS, temperatures, CPU/GPU load and more.
#### Example:
![](assets/overlay_example.gif)
# Installation
## Build
If you wish to compile MangoHud to keep up to date with any changes - first clone this repository and cd into it:
```
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/flightlessmango/MangoHud.git
cd MangoHud
```
To build it, execute:
```
./build.sh build
./build.sh package
```
**NOTE: If you are running an Ubuntu-based, Arch-based, Fedora-based, or openSUSE-based distro, the build script will automatically detect and prompt you to install missing build dependencies. If you run into any issues with this please report them!**
Once done, proceed to the [installation](#source).
## Install
### Source
If you have compiled MangoHud from source, to install it, execute:
```
./build.sh install
```
You can then subsequently uninstall MangoHud via the following command
```
./build.sh uninstall
```
### Pre-packaged binaries
#### GitHub releases
If you do not wish to compile anything, simply download the file under [Releases](https://github.com/flightlessmango/MangoHud/releases), extract it, and from within the extracted folder in terminal, execute:
```
./mangohud-setup.sh install
```
#### Arch-based distributions
If you are using an Arch-based distribution, install [`mangohud`](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mangohud/) and [`lib32-mangohud`](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lib32-mangohud/) with your favourite AUR helper. [`mangohud-git`](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mangohud-git/) and [`lib32-mangohud-git`](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lib32-mangohud-git/) are also available on the AUR if you want the up-to-date version of MangoHud.
#### Fedora
If you are using Fedora, to install the [MangoHud](https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/mangohud) package, execute:
```
sudo dnf install mangohud
```
#### Solus
If you are using Solus, to install [MangoHud](https://dev.getsol.us/source/mangohud/) simply execute:
```
sudo eopkg it mangohud
```
#### Flatpak
If you are using Flatpaks, you will have to add the [Flathub repository](https://flatpak.org/setup/) for your specific distribution, and then, to install it, execute:
##### For Steam flatpak
```
flatpak install com.valvesoftware.Steam.Utility.MangoHud
```
To enable MangoHud for all Steam games:
```
flatpak override --user --env=MANGOHUD=1 com.valvesoftware.Steam
```
# Normal usage
To enable the MangoHud overlay layer for Vulkan and OpenGL, run :
`mangohud /path/to/app`
For Lutris games, go to the System options in Lutris (make sure that advanced options are enabled) and add this to the `Command prefix` setting:
`mangohud`
For Steam games, you can add this as a launch option:
`mangohud %command%`
Or alternatively, add `MANGOHUD=1` to your shell profile (Vulkan only).
## OpenGL
OpenGL games may also need `dlsym` hooking. Add `MANGOHUD_DLSYM=1` to your command like `MANGOHUD_DLSYM=1 mangohud %command%` for Steam.
Some Linux native OpenGL games overrides LD_PRELOAD and stops MangoHud from working. You can sometimes fix this by editing LD_PRELOAD in the start script
`LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/mangohud/lib/`
## Hud configuration
MangoHud comes with a config file which can be used to set configuration options globally or per application. The priorities of different config files are:
1. `/path/to/application/dir/MangoHud.conf`
2. `$HOME/.config/MangoHud/{application_name}.conf`
3. `$HOME/.config/MangoHud/MangoHud.conf`
You can find an example config in /usr/share/doc/mangohud
[GOverlay](https://github.com/benjamimgois/goverlay) is a GUI application that can be used to manage the config
---
### `MANGOHUD_CONFIG` and `MANGOHUD_CONFIGFILE` environment variables
You can also customize the hud by using the `MANGOHUD_CONFIG` environment variable while separating different options with a comma. This takes priority over any config file.
You can also specify configuration file with `MANGOHUD_CONFIGFILE=/path/to/config` for applications whose names are hard to guess (java, python etc).
A partial list of parameters are below. See the config file for a complete list.
Parameters that are enabled by default have to be explicitly disabled. These (currently) are `fps`, `frame_timing`, `cpu_stats` (cpu load), `gpu_stats` (gpu load).
| Variable | Description |
|------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| `vsync`<br> `gl_vsync` | Set vsync for OpenGL or Vulkan |
| `media_player` | Show media player metadata |
| `media_player_name` | Force media player DBus service name without the `org.mpris.MediaPlayer2` part, like `spotify`, `vlc`, `audacious` or `cantata`. If none is set, MangoHud tries to switch between currently playing players. |

| `engine_version` | Display OpenGL or vulkan and vulkan-based render engine's version |
| `permit_upload` | Allow uploading of logs to Flightlessmango.com |
| `upload_log` | Change keybind for uploading log |
| `benchmark_percentiles` | Configure which framerate percentiles are shown in the logging summary. Default is `97,AVG,1,0.1` |

| `gpu_load_change` | Changes the color of the GPU load depending on load |
| `gpu_load_color` | Set the colors for the gpu load change low,medium and high. e.g `gpu_load_color=0000FF,00FFFF,FF00FF` |
| `gpu_load_value` | Set the values for medium and high load e.g `gpu_load_value=50,90` |
| `cpu_load_change` | Changes the color of the CPU load depending on load |

Example: `MANGOHUD_CONFIG=cpu_temp,gpu_temp,position=top-right,height=500,font_size=32`
Because comma is also used as option delimiter and needs to be escaped for values with a backslash, you can use `+` like `MANGOHUD_CONFIG=fps_limit=60+30+0` instead.
Note: Width and Height are set automatically based on the font_size, but can be overridden.
Note: RAPL is currently used for Intel CPUs to show power draw with `cpu_power` which may be unreadable for non-root users due to [vulnerability](https://platypusattack.com/). The corresponding `energy_uj` file has to be readable by corrensponding user, e.g. by running `chmod o+r /sys/class/powercap/intel-rapl\:0/energy_uj` as root, else the power shown will be *0 W*, though having the file readable may potentially be a security vulnerability persisting until system reboots.
## Vsync
### OpenGL Vsync
- `-1` = Adaptive sync
- `0` = Off
- `1` = On
- `n` = Sync to refresh rate / n.
### Vulkan Vsync
- `0` = Adaptive VSync (FIFO_RELAXED_KHR)
- `1` = Off (IMMEDIATE_KHR)
- `2` = Mailbox (VSync with uncapped FPS) (MAILBOX_KHR)
- `3` = On (FIFO_KHR)
All vulkan vsync options might not be supported on your device, you can check what your device supports here [vulkan.gpuinfo.org](https://vulkan.gpuinfo.org/listsurfacepresentmodes.php?platform=linux)
## Keybindings
- `Shift_L+F2` : Toggle Logging
- `Shift_L+F4` : Reload Config
- `Shift_R+F12`: Toggle Hud
## MangoHud FPS logging
You must set a valid path for `output_folder` in your configuration to store logs in.
When you toggle logging (using the keybind `Shift_L+F2`), a file is created with the game name plus a date & timestamp in your `output_folder`.
Log files can be uploaded to [Flightlessmango.com](https://flightlessmango.com/games/user_benchmarks) to create graphs automatically.
You can share the created page with others, just link it.
#### Multiple log files
It's possible to upload multiple files when using [Flightlessmango.com](https://flightlessmango.com/games/user_benchmarks). You can rename them to your preferred names and upload them in a batch.
These filenames will be used as the legend in the graph.
