SUMMARY *** There's no crash but just nothing will happen which is a bit frustruating, I've tested this with Payday 2 (proton) and Hoi4 (native). STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Launch hoi4 in borderless borderless with overview turned on and auto turn off compositing on 2. Attempt to use super+w to activate overview, for nothing to happen 3. Launch Payday 2 and repeat step 2, overview will activate, your mouse will appear in overview UNTIL you move it which then it will be forced back into the game window where you can still move the camera around Expected Result: A overview similar to gnome or a more interactive alt tab.

> if compositing is turned off automatically Yep, that's how it works. The overview effect is implement as a desktop effect that uses compositing, and so if compositing is turned off, you can't use it. Two options: 1. Don't let apps turn off compositing (System Settings > Display and Monitor > Compositor > some setting in there) 2. Use the Wayland session where compositing can't be turned off

Only some games do it, I guess. Gamemode isn't KDE code, so you might need to ask its developers.
