 aidalgol | * Comet's upstream releases include GalaxyCommunication-dummy.exe, but our comet-gog package does not because it only builds comet. I think this .exe was added upstream sometime since the nixpkgs package was added. | 22:18:27 |

| aidalgol | SigmaSquadron: Is there anything we can do around the heroic package to get people to bother nixpkgs people first rather than going straight to upstream? This happens a lot. | 02:06:48 |
 SigmaSquadron | Could patch the sources so whenever we get an error message, it provides a link to Nixpkgs instead. | 02:22:45 |
| aidalgol | Yeah, maybe I should do that. I've been hesitant to modify the upstream source much. | 02:57:14 |
| aidalgol | Regarding the Windows helper executables, I have packaged them in PR#432183, and I'm not sure the way I have done so is acceptable in nixpkgs, so I would really appreciate a review on this. | 05:42:20 |
| aidalgol | It's a rather odd scenario because they're Windows dependencies for a Linux application, for games run under Proton. | 05:42:56 |
 K900 | @aidalgol pushed to your PR | 05:55:48 |
| K900 | Can you test | 05:55:49 |
| aidalgol | Yup, fix still works. | 05:59:40 |
| K900 | OK hold on I noticed a thing | 06:20:19 |
| K900 | Pushing a fix now | 06:20:21 |

 Rein | It seems that the STEAM_EXTRA_COMPAT_TOOLS_PATHS is properly set:
❯ steam-run printenv | grep STEAM
STEAM_EXTRA_COMPAT_TOOLS_PATHS=/nix/store/d9xqr8kg4a483ywfb0grl95z6i19vzp1-proton-ge-bin-GE-Proton10-10-steamcompattool/
| 14:37:53 |
| Rein | no idea why I don't get the compatibility tools in steam | 14:38:24 |

| Rein | 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 |
| Rein | I've rebuild the system after that and the compatibility tools are not there anymore ;-; | 14:47:50 |
| Rein | * I've rebuilt the system after that and the compatibility tools are not there anymore ;-; | 14:48:36 |
| 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:
pressure-vessel-wrap[9433]: W: Found more than one possible libdrm data directory from provider
pressure-vessel-wrap[9433]: W: "run/opengl-driver-32/share/drirc.d" is unlikely to appear in "/run/host"
pressure-vessel-wrap[9433]: W: "run/opengl-driver/share/drirc.d" is unlikely to appear in "/run/host"

pressure-vessel-wrap[9433]: W: "run/opengl-driver-32/share/drirc.d" is unlikely to appear in "/run/host"
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 | 536.423:0094:00a0:err:ntoskrnl:ZwLoadDriver failed to create driver L"\\Registry\\Machine\\System\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\winebth": c0000142
That is the only error out of ordinary that i get when launching a game | 16:26:08 |
