@colemickens:matrix.orgcolemickensOr is it more specifically about using the steam proton tooling for non-steam windows games?05:37:07
@colemickens:matrix.orgcolemickensI feel like I took a year off of Linux gaming and need a new map! 🥲05:37:25
@k900:0upti.meK900 UMU is specifically running Proton 05:41:05
@k900:0upti.meK900 Like it's basically replicating what Steam does to run Proton 05:41:31
@k900:0upti.meK900 With pressure-vessel and stuff 05:41:33
@colemickens:matrix.orgcolemickenslet me rephrase :) can I use UMU/Faugus to launch Halo: Infinite, installed via Steam, without needing Steam running?05:41:35
@colemickens:matrix.orgcolemickens(I can take this elsewhere, also; it's certainly not NixOS specific)05:41:48
@k900:0upti.meK900 Depends on whether the game actually talks to Steam or not 05:42:08
@k900:0upti.meK900 Most do 05:42:08
@k900:0upti.meK900 And will probably complain about Steam not being there 05:42:08
@k900:0upti.meK900 But some don't and for those it should work 05:42:20
@colemickens:matrix.orgcolemickensI see. Ok. Thanks.05:42:27
@k900:0upti.meK900 You can also just pirate-ify the game if you're playing single player 05:43:44
@k900:0upti.meK900By giving it a fake steam_api.dll05:43:44
@k900:0upti.meK900Which I will not link to here for legal reasons05:44:09
@k900:0upti.meK900 (assuming there isn't another layer of copy protection) 05:44:41
