 K900 | That sounds like you've got some very badly mismatched versions of things | 16:10:20 |
 @tonton:envs.net | cool. | 16:10:40 |
| @tonton:envs.net | Allright, so i did the following for each file in the .confg/steamtinkerlaunch/proton/custom/GE-Proton8-23/files/bin/:
rm msidb;ln -s /run/current-system/sw/bin/msidb msidb
and now it's atleaast installing vortex...
:P | 16:15:09 |
| @tonton:envs.net | ah, it seems they need to be in the same profile or something. Works now.
But I keep getting
SKIP - setModWine - No download URL found for requested 'GE-Proton8-23' - skipping
ERROR - setModWine - DNPROTON was not found - can't continue
But steam-run steamtinkerlaunch dcp l and dw l finished successfully... ? | 16:47:34 |
| @tonton:envs.net | "successfully" there's nothing in their folders | 16:55:59 |
 Mae (it/she) | has anyone gotten mod organizer 2 working on Nixos? tried lutris and https://github.com/rockerbacon/modorganizer2-linux-installer to no avail | 21:06:50 |

| @tonton:envs.net | I did yesterday, more or less, forgot to report back.
I removed a bunch of the wrongly generated and downloded files from steamtinkerlaunch.
Put steam-run, Python3, steamtinkerlaunch, cabextract and msidb in my Nixos configuration as global packages (they used to be in my users packages which for some reason failed).
Then I run all steamtinkerlaunch commands prefixed by steam-run (I did this by setting alias srustl='steam-run steamtinkerlaunch')
After that 'srustl mo2 s' runs and finishes as expected. 🌻 | 10:23:20 |
| @tonton:envs.net | Removed files in .Config/steamtinkerlaunch or what it is, I'm not on my computer so can't check. But it's the dir where stl has downloads and prefixes and so on. | 10:25:25 |
|  Crabtux joined the room. | 14:27:30 |
| Mae (it/she) | awesome! thanks! | 15:12:39 |
| @tonton:envs.net | Oh, another thing, I don't use mo2 to run skyrim, I copy the skyrimLauncher.exe to skyrimlauncher.exe.bak (in case I need it for other things than playing game) then copy skse_loader.exe to be skyrimLauncher.exe then I run skyrim from steam. :P | 19:12:42 |
| @tonton:envs.net | if that's what youre running | 19:12:58 |

 @supersamus02:matrix.org | Hi, does the Steam version of Titanfall 2 (or, more generally, a game that goes through EA Desktop) work on your end?
Because it doesn't on mine. EA Desktop launches, then says: "Failed to launch game. An error on our end caused the launch to fail. Try again a little later." | 19:46:38 |
| K900 | There's a weird thing with EA Desktop where it will fail if you have too many environment variables | 19:59:50 |
| K900 | Try running it in a clean env | 19:59:53 |
| K900 | Wine shouldn't care much anyway | 19:59:57 |
| @supersamus02:matrix.org | In reply to @k900:0upti.me
There's a weird thing with EA Desktop where it will fail if you have too many environment variables Aaaand it was exactly that.
Thank you!
(And not thank EA) | 21:08:01 |
| @supersamus02:matrix.org | The big list of environment variables was because I'm on Plasma, meaning that there were all the Qt variables set.
Maybe modifying Steam's derivation so that these are unsetted on runScript wouldn't be a bad idea? (Even though it's dirty) | 21:13:24 |

| K900 | It'll get weird in one way or another | 21:14:47 |
| K900 | Like what if you run a Qt app from Steam then | 21:14:57 |
| @supersamus02:matrix.org | Yeah, they are broken. | 21:26:10 |
| K900 | Should just cold email EA | 21:27:54 |
| K900 | With "please allow more than 4k of environment variables my extremely cursed linux is very sick" | 21:28:18 |
| K900 | For the laughs | 21:28:24 |
| @supersamus02:matrix.org | Reported. | 21:41:21 |
| @supersamus02:matrix.org | Hoping that they'll fix their char[1000] or whatever they used. | 21:41:46 |
