After launching the game I get an out-of-range message on my monitor. Rebooting gets to login but after logging in get same error message. Able to boot into desktop with Wayland but not X11. How to fix?

In your home /.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/
( ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/ )

there is a file named displays.xml which for me contains all of my monitor information, including refresh rates etc. You might try moving this file to a backup area ( dont delete it) and see if starting x11 will then recreate it properly. (It sounds like this file is possibly corrupt).

did the game or you place any files in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d or may in a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file?

There was something in a file somewhere which I deleted. No xorg.conf file, just xorg.conf.d folder which has this:
xorg.conf.d.png

Can't remember exactly but spotted a gl-117 file after searching for anything labelled as such and deleted wherever it was. Having looked at Xorg.conf.d directory in terminal I spotted that 10-nvidia.conf was not present so created one in nano editor and used same structure as that for 10-amdgpu but replacing amdgpu with nvidia for each line - no joy. After "out of range" error message I used Ctrl+ Alt+ 4 to open a terminal, logged in and tried to run xrandr but got message can't open display. Then doing some searches I found this command:

Code: Select all

export DISPLAY=:0
This brought back all the available resolutions and indicated that it was set to 1024x768!

I attempted to follow various guides about how to add a new mode after using cvt and gtf with error message

Code: Select all

xrandr: configure crtc 0 failed
Just to add that in my initial search, gl-117 also caused the same issue for an Ubuntu user many years ago, so would suggest that gl-117 was OK in the day of Open SuSE 9x but not now! Needs to be removed from the Games section of Software and Synaptic Package Manager, but not checked to see if it is in Synaptic, because you can't use Synaptic in Wayland which is what I am using now - nothing critical on this rig, so will do a fresh install!
