 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"

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 |

| Rein | 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 | 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 |
