Metal Performance HUD Not Launching

[XboxEvolved]

Would anyone know why the metal performance HUD wouldn't be launching for me? It worked previously, and while the game will launch after entering the commands in the Terminal, the HUD does not launch. Specifically, the game is Resident Evil: Village.

Please paste exactly what you put in the Terminal here, along with OS version

 

[XboxEvolved]

1. Go to the game and Right Click on it then Press “Show Package Contents”
2. Find the “Mac OS” folder and right click the folder then click “New Terminal At Folder”
3. Then type in the string: export MTL_HUD_ENABLED=1
4. Press Return
5. Type ./ then hit tab
6. Then press Return and the FPS hub will launch along with the selected game.

As far as I know, you're only able to do it in Ventura which is what I am using.

Yep. Was more if you were on a beta version of an upcoming Ventura release or just 13.0 or.

In any case, after hitting return on the exported environment variable, try testing if the variable is set:
echo $MTL_HUD_ENABLED
It should print "1" on a new line.

The problem was human error it turns out lol. I wasn’t spacing part of it right. It’s just strange that it didn’t say it within the terminal and launched the game.

The export command just exports an environment variable. Any exported environment variable is "correct" in the sense that they are arbitrary strings with arbitrary values that programs may or may not interpret to mean something. So if your mistaken spacing was in the export command, there is nothing for it to complain about because anything is "correct" just not necessarily going to achieve anything.
