The Finals Steam Background Recording workaround? (pawb.social)

Playing The Finals on my Fedora KDE install, the game runs wonderfully under proton, however a recent update added verification to the EAC config file so the workaround I found to make Steam Background Recording work now causes the game to close. Is there another workaround for this?

EDIT: Using Gamescope seems to bypass the issue, however now my mouse cursor won't use the correct theme in the window...

Something like SDL_RENDERER=wayland environment variable (not at computer right now), and make sure to launch the KDE Wayland session, not x11

Ill check it out, thank you!

Also, are there any possible performance losses by running in gamescope?
