 @atemu12:matrix.org | Be the change you want to see | 17:19:22 |
 K900 | Mostly that steamcmd can't download a fixed revision | 17:19:31 |
 @darkwater4213:matrix.org | In all seriousness, this would be basically useless to me until Nix on W*ndows is released. My ultimate goal is to never have to touch W*ndows ever again. | 17:19:53 |
| K900 | And also I'm not sure if this is still a thing, or was ever really a thing on Linux native titles, but Steam used to fingerprint individual downloads | 17:20:02 |
| K900 | You can use Linux SteamCMD to download Windows apps, though | 17:20:24 |

Mostly that steamcmd can't download a fixed revision Well... then flakes are impossible, sure. But I don't see why we can't do something like HM and create something like a steam-games channel? | 17:21:02 |
| K900 | You also can't point Steam at store paths | 17:21:38 |

You can use Linux SteamCMD to download Windows apps, though Not very useful for anti-cheat 😠| 17:21:39 |
| K900 | It will explode | 17:21:42 |
| K900 | If it can't write to the game directory | 17:21:48 |

Be the change you want to see This is a project for the semi-distant future, I'm afraid. | 17:22:11 |
| K900 | 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 | 17:22:12 |

Mostly that steamcmd can't download a fixed revision I'm pretty sure I downloaded a specific revision through a CLI before | 17:22:49 |
| K900 | It can download a beta branch | 17:24:14 |
| K900 | And some games, especially ones with dedicated servers, offer older versions as beta branches | 17:24:33 |

This is a project for the semi-distant future, I'm afraid. And thus darkwater4213 treads the path of the people before him | 17:28:25 |

It can download a beta branch No, a specific revision number | 17:28:48 |
| @atemu12:matrix.org | Facebook broke BeatSaber mods or something at some point and I just wanted to play my damn game | 17:29:17 |
| @atemu12:matrix.org | Steam has revisions and they're exposed to users | 17:29:42 |
| @atemu12:matrix.org | Not through the Steam UI though of course | 17:29:55 |

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 |
