@rein:rein.icuRein 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:rein.icuReinno idea why I don't get the compatibility tools in steam14:38:24

@rein:rein.icuReinOkay, I've deleted all files related to Steam and it suddenly works. I have no idea what was the issue tho14:45:09
@rein:rein.icuRein I've rebuild the system after that and the compatibility tools are not there anymore ;-; 14:47:50
@rein:rein.icuRein* I've rebuilt the system after that and the compatibility tools are not there anymore ;-;14:48:36
@rein:rein.icuRein 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:

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"

Anyone knows what is this about?

@k900:0upti.meK900 This is perfectly normal 15:48:45
@witchlliee:matrix.orgEllie she/theyOkay then15:50:29
@rein:rein.icuRein Same thing here. Nothing works out of the ordinary, so pretty safe to ignore 16:20:24
@rein:rein.icuReinwell, except for the compatibility packages, but I gave up on them at this point16:20:45
@rein:rein.icuReinthis is not related to those warnings, since they are OpenGL-specific16:22:08
@witchlliee:matrix.orgEllie she/theySo i can rule it out. I'm trying to debug why it takes longer to launch games on nixos than in other distros for me16:22:10
@witchlliee:matrix.orgEllie she/theyIn other distros it launches almost as soon as i click the "Play" button16:23:25
@charles:computer.surgeryCharles you could try comparing straces between distros to see if it's making extra syscalls 16:23:41

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

@rein:rein.icuRein Okay, so now when looking through Steam logs, I see lines like those:
Proton: Upgrading prefix from 10.0-200 to GE-Proton10-10 (/home/joe/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/0/)
Proton: Prefix has an invalid version?! You may want to back up user files and delete this prefix.
ProtonFixes[41935] WARN: [CONFIG]: Parent directory "/home/joe/.config/protonfixes" does not exist. Abort.
ProtonFixes[41935] WARN: Skipping fix execution. We are probably running an unit test.
I guess protonfixes aren't important in this context, however, I'm a bit curious about the invalid prefix version 		16:26:56
@rein:rein.icuRein Okay, deleting /home/joe/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/0/ makes the compatibility packages appear in Steam 16:28:25
@rein:rein.icuReinso I think I'd need to delete it every time I rebuild NixOS16:28:51
@rein:rein.icuReinNope, it's not even every time I rebuild NixOS16:29:41
@rein:rein.icuReinit's every time I relaunch Steam ;-;16:29:49
@rein:rein.icuReinOkay, it's not related to Steam or NixOS or anything. My systemd service for automatically starting Steam with graphic session is what's the issue16:31:58
@rein:rein.icuRein* Okay, it's not related to Steam or NixOS or anything. My systemd service for automatically starting Steam on the graphic session's start is what's the issue16:34:33

@aidalgol:matrix.orgaidalgolI only have this problem with some Windows games.05:13:15
@aidalgol:matrix.orgaidalgolThere 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:matrix.orgaidalgolSteam 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.org
Steam app ID 0 is apparently used for non-steam games. https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/15jnugz/app_id_0/
I think it's also used for conpatibility tools outside of Steam, but I might be wrong on that one 		06:06:28
@rein:rein.icuReineither way, my systemd service has that Steam package that should've never be there06:07:10
