Issues & Assistance Unsupported Software (AUR & Other)

Hi,

I installed MangoHud as an option in Garuda Gamer.

However to check the program if it is working wel I get the following output with

mangohud glxgears:

[2024-04-21 21:25:26.167] [MANGOHUD] [error] [overlay_params.cpp:1003] Failed to read presets file: ‘/home/arthur/.config/MangoHud/presets.conf’
[2024-04-21 21:25:26.168] [MANGOHUD] [error] [overlay_params.cpp:840] Unknown option ‘engine’
Running synchronized to the vertical refresh. The framerate should be
approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate.

and with mangohud vkcube:

[2024-04-21 21:26:43.293] [MANGOHUD] [error] [overlay_params.cpp:1003] Failed to read presets file: ‘/home/art
hur/.config/MangoHud/presets.conf’

Selected GPU 0: AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT (RADV NAVI21), type: DiscreteGpu

This is the MangoHud.conf file:

I’m sorry but my linux knowledge is very basic. Hope somebody can help me with this.

Thanks in advance with any help.
