 @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 |

 @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 |

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 |

Hoping that they'll fix their char[1000] or whatever they used. knowing ea thats probably a binding char[1000] | 03:48:35 |
| arcayr | if they remove that the entire thing will fall to pieces | 03:48:39 |

 @eyjhb:eyjhb.dk | Is there any way to make my compose key work in Steam? I assume it's because of the FHS that it doesn't currently work | 08:39:52 |
 @atemu12:matrix.org | eyJhb: Does it work when you steam-run an app that works outside the FHS? | 08:50:23 |
| @eyjhb:eyjhb.dk | I'll try once I get to my pc :) | 09:09:56 |
