The only way you can really do this is some sort of an ensureApps option that will just call Steam to auto-install things from a systemd service Well, this is more for a playbook-type of application. | 17:33:41 |
 @aidalgol:matrix.org | If you really wanted to try nixifying your individual steam games, I would start with DepotDownloader rather than steamcmd. | 19:27:58 |
| @aidalgol:matrix.org | I did this for a game server, that doesn't require any credentials to download: https://github.com/aidalgol/valheim-server-flake | 19:28:55 |

 SomeoneSerge (back on matrix) | I tried using wine for a video game and it's getting stuck somewhere early on in the startup. Haven't decided how I'm going to debug this, but could someone tell me if any of the messages in the attached logs are relevant for anything? https://gist.github.com/SomeoneSerge/17107d531f0c5742124095f00aa5a7cf#file-default-nix-L29-L32 | 12:12:34 |
 K900 | You definitely want DXVK for d3d11 games | 12:13:12 |
| K900 | wined3d does not implement enough of it to run most anything | 12:13:24 |
| SomeoneSerge (back on matrix) |
In order to install a DXVK package obtained from the release page into a given wine prefix, copy or symlink the DLLs into the following directories as follows, then open winecfg and manually add DLL overrides for d3d11, d3d10core, dxgi, and d3d9
Damn gaming is quite manual huh | 12:15:37 |
| SomeoneSerge (back on matrix) | Thanks! | 12:15:42 |
| K900 | You can run dxvk-install or whatever the script is called on your wineprefix instead | 12:16:03 |
 @atemu12:matrix.org | That's why you usually use tools such as Steam, Heroic, Bottles or Lutris to manage all of that for you | 12:16:03 |
| K900 | Or just use wine-ge which comes with everything integrated | 12:16:16 |
| K900 | * Or just use proton-ge which comes with everything integrated | 12:16:36 |
| SomeoneSerge (back on matrix) | Not sure which one of these worked but hey I'm now in the "main menu"! https://gist.github.com/SomeoneSerge/7c731fa556f2bf8074b422af828c9e47#file-default-nix-L136-L137 | 13:22:25 |
| SomeoneSerge (back on matrix) | I also remember seeing messages about "nix-building wine prefixes" in this chat. Any working examples? The first issue I ran into was msiexec trying to spawn a window inside the nix sandbox and, probably, busy-looping | 13:24:07 |
 Charles ⚡️ | If memory serves it was more like "building a script with nix that would then build a wineprefix", not directly building the prefix | 14:39:55 |

 @maxeaubrey:matrix.org | Is anything special required to have the steam overlay working in native games? For some reason it just doesn't work for me - but only for anything native, if the game is running under proton it's all fine. This is on two different systems, both AMD, running nixpkgs master, but the problem goes back months for me so I'm wondering if I'm missing something in my nix config | 20:51:48 |

| @atemu12:matrix.org | 32bit perhaps? Should work though | 20:52:23 |
| 27 Mar 2024 |
| @eyjhb:eyjhb.dk | Got it, nvm | 07:57:22 |
| 28 Mar 2024 |
| @atemu12:matrix.org | I don't explicitly remember using it in a native game though | 20:52:34 |

| @maxeaubrey:matrix.org | Doesn't work in games with 64-bit builds either (e.g. Celeste, Poly Bridge), and there's nothing obvious as to why (I mean, it technically "works" in that it occasionally shows heavily corrupted blocks over where UI elements would be, but that's the extent of it for native stuff) | 20:55:36 |

 LDprg | steam overlay does work on native games, but only when using x11 (wayland wont work at all) | 05:46:34 |
