The scanout size guard rejected frames smaller than the window, falling back to a CPU copy of a GPU-only buffer that drew nothing. Allow scanout of smaller frames and scale the presented source span to fill the window instead of cropping.
Games that switch resolution showed a black screen because the game ran as a child of the winhandler.exe desktop shell. Add winlauncher.exe to the container and launch the game through it so it runs as a decoupled top-level process; winhandler stays the shell and keeps handling input.
Pass /affinity to the launch helper so the game is pinned to the container's CPU set from process start, before the per-window affinity applies.
…ervice The game now launches under winlauncher.exe as the wine desktop shell, while winhandler.exe runs as a separate input/process service, instead of the game running as a child of winhandler.exe.
The in-process Steam launcher received the game exe on argv[1], but the desktop shell splits that argument on the first space, so a path like C:\Program Files (x86)\... arrived as C:\Program. The launcher then never matched the running game and never emitted a launch-complete marker, so the preloader hung until the watchdog killed the session. Pass the game exe to the launcher via the WN_STEAM_GAME_EXE environment variable (argv[1] kept as fallback) so the shell launches a bare steam.exe with no space-bearing argument to split.
