 Rein | It's probably something with Steam, since it worked after deleting $HOME/.local/share/Steam and $HOME/.steam | 14:50:09 |
 Ellie she/they | I'm having this warn with steam: Anyone knows what is this about? | 15:48:29 |
 K900 | This is perfectly normal | 15:48:45 |
| Ellie she/they | Okay then | 15:50:29 |
| Rein | Same thing here. Nothing works out of the ordinary, so pretty safe to ignore | 16:20:24 |
| Rein | well, except for the compatibility packages, but I gave up on them at this point | 16:20:45 |
| Rein | this is not related to those warnings, since they are OpenGL-specific | 16:22:08 |
| Ellie she/they | So i can rule it out. I'm trying to debug why it takes longer to launch games on nixos than in other distros for me | 16:22:10 |
| Ellie she/they | In other distros it launches almost as soon as i click the "Play" button | 16:23:25 |
 Charles | you could try comparing straces between distros to see if it's making extra syscalls | 16:23:41 |
| Ellie she/they |
That is the only error out of ordinary that i get when launching a game | 16:26:08 |
| Ellie she/they | * That is the only error out of ordinary that i get when launching a game | 16:26:39 |
| Rein | Okay, so now when looking through Steam logs, I see lines like those: | 16:26:56 |
| Rein | Okay, deleting /home/joe/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/0/ makes the compatibility packages appear in Steam | 16:28:25 |
| Rein | so I think I'd need to delete it every time I rebuild NixOS | 16:28:51 |
| Rein | Nope, it's not even every time I rebuild NixOS | 16:29:41 |
| Rein | it's every time I relaunch Steam ;-; | 16:29:49 |
| Rein | Okay, it's not related to Steam or NixOS or anything. My systemd service for automatically starting Steam with graphic session is what's the issue | 16:31:58 |

 aidalgol | I only have this problem with some Windows games. | 05:13:15 |
| aidalgol | There is so much jank that is just inherent to how Steam works, that I don't know whether log messages like this are anything to be concerned about. | 05:14:03 |
| aidalgol | Steam app ID 0 is apparently used for non-steam games. https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/15jnugz/app_id_0/ | 05:15:26 |
| Rein | In reply to @aidalgol:matrix.orgI think it's also used for conpatibility tools outside of Steam, but I might be wrong on that one | 06:06:28 |
| Rein | either way, my systemd service has that Steam package that should've never be there | 06:07:10 |
| Rein | and when Steam was launched through that service, it was missing the ENV var for compatibility tools | 06:08:02 |
| Rein | Now there's only one issue I have to figure out: Steam refusing to load extra 32bit packages | 06:08:43 |
| Rein | * either way, my systemd service has that Steam package that should've never been there | 06:09:18 |

| K900 | That's all fine | 11:20:31 |
| Rein | Nope. I get no audio devices in Rocksmith because of that 32-bit JACK issue | 11:21:00 |
