| Okay, I've deleted all files related to Steam and it suddenly works. I have no idea what was the issue tho | 14:45:09 | |
| I've rebuild the system after that and the compatibility tools are not there anymore ;-; | 14:47:50 | |
| * I've rebuilt the system after that and the compatibility tools are not there anymore ;-; | 14:48:36 | |
It's probably something with Steam, since it worked after deleting $HOME/.local/share/Steam and $HOME/.steam | 14:50:09 | |
| I'm having this warn with steam:
Anyone knows what is this about? | 15:48:29 | |
| This is perfectly normal | 15:48:45 | |
| Okay then | 15:50:29 | |
| Same thing here. Nothing works out of the ordinary, so pretty safe to ignore | 16:20:24 | |
| well, except for the compatibility packages, but I gave up on them at this point | 16:20:45 | |
| this is not related to those warnings, since they are OpenGL-specific | 16:22:08 | |
| 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 | |
| In other distros it launches almost as soon as i click the "Play" button | 16:23:25 | |
you could try comparing straces between distros to see if it's making extra syscalls | 16:23:41 | |
|
That is the only error out of ordinary that i get when launching a game | 16:26:08 | |

Okay, so now when looking through Steam logs, I see lines like those:I guess protonfixes aren't important in this context, however, I'm a bit curious about the invalid prefix version | 16:26:56 | |
Okay, deleting /home/joe/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/0/ makes the compatibility packages appear in Steam | 16:28:25 | |
| so I think I'd need to delete it every time I rebuild NixOS | 16:28:51 | |
| Nope, it's not even every time I rebuild NixOS | 16:29:41 | |
| it's every time I relaunch Steam ;-; | 16:29:49 | |
| 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 | |

| I only have this problem with some Windows games. | 05:13:15 | |
| 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 | |
| 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 | |
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 | |
| either way, my systemd service has that Steam package that should've never be there | 06:07:10 | |
| and when Steam was launched through that service, it was missing the ENV var for compatibility tools | 06:08:02 | |
| Now there's only one issue I have to figure out: Steam refusing to load extra 32bit packages | 06:08:43 | |
