steam: fix paradox launchers, and electron apps #106409

jonringer · 2020-12-09T02:48:14Z

Motivation for this change

Got tired of the paradox launcher failing to start correctly, preventing me from playing CK III whenever I want.

expanded the options passed to buildFHSUserEnvBubblewrap to allow for unsharing certain pieces, the defaults reflect the previous code. But allows for ipc to be passed through which allows for certain applications to render better.

I haven't been playing Stellaris in a while, but that indeed does fix the launcher. However Among Us (using Proton 4.11) isn't happy:

jonringer · 2020-12-09T03:35:53Z

@mweinelt I get those warnings all the time, does it actually prevent a launch?

jonringer · 2020-12-09T03:41:54Z

@mweinelt I'm not able to start it with the steam from master either

mweinelt · 2020-12-09T03:45:41Z

Very odd, I played a few hours ago. But it doesn't work for me with steam from master anymore either. Guess I'll drop my steam state.

mweinelt · 2020-12-09T03:52:23Z

Nope, no dice. I wonder what happened.

jonringer · 2020-12-09T03:54:40Z

I also updated the steam runtime... earlier

Atemu

I don't own or play games affected by this change, but the diff looks good.

The only way to find out whether this breaks things or not is to have it on people's machines.

I do. Something broke quite awfully after steam got automagically updated and I haven't been able to play most of my games since yesterday but I'm not sure if this is related. Every game throws a different set of errors such as Failed to create SDL window: Couldn't find matching GLX visual

Steam itself runs fine but throws:

STEAM_RUNTIME has been set by the user to: /steamrt
Can't find 'steam-runtime-check-requirements', continuing anyway

mweinelt · 2020-12-09T15:51:07Z

Great, so you are the third data point pointing to yesterdays runtime upgrade. Glad that we are in agreement about the culprit.

1000101 · 2020-12-09T15:59:02Z

I was so desperate I even opened a support ticket with them yesterday, but they haven't got back to me yet 😄.

jonringer · 2020-12-09T16:00:13Z

are you launching the games through proton, or are you doing linux native?

mweinelt · 2020-12-09T16:02:13Z

Among us is a PE32 executable, so through proton.

jonringer · 2020-12-09T16:03:40Z

@1000101 what games are you trying to launch?

jonringer · 2020-12-09T16:04:01Z

anyway, is anyone against merging this?

1000101 · 2020-12-09T16:26:24Z

are you launching the games through proton, or are you doing linux native?

Only Linux native. I've been fiddling with Proton 5.13-2 (which got updated to 5.13-3 yesterday along with everything else) but it didn't work for me so far.

Doesn't work (Linux native): Sid Meier's Civilization V, Day of Defeat: Source (Source engine), Left 4 Dead 2 (Source engine)

There are few minimalistic games which do work though.

baracoder · 2020-12-09T17:06:52Z

I am also had this SDL error on Sunday with Left 4 Dead 2. At least CSGO still works.

As for Proton >= 5.13, from what I understand, it is an internal change on how sandboxing is done, which does not play well with nixpkgs' version of steam runtime, see #100655

I will try steam from master later and report.

mweinelt · 2020-12-09T17:33:26Z

I was using proton 4.11-13, and that broke too.

1000101 · 2020-12-09T17:42:18Z

Hmmm, it still doesn't work for me. I also did steam --reset to no avail. All the games mentioned above throw: ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/gameoverlayrenderer.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32): ignored but https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Steam/Troubleshooting suggests this can be safely ignored.

mweinelt · 2020-12-10T02:17:20Z

Downgraded Proton to 4.2-9 and now Among Us works again. Still, odd that newer version of Proton don't work at all. They can't find a symbol in glib. Will post a log shortly.

Atemu · 2020-12-10T05:22:31Z

We should probably move this conversation to a new issue though as this is caused by the SteamRT upgrade, not this PR, right?

Yeap, if there's not an issue open already.

@baracoder If it helps, I was able to get Left 4 Dead 2 working on Proton 5.0-10

jbalme · 2020-12-11T07:11:13Z

For people on 20.09 that want Stellaris to work while whatever problems are ironed out (not sure about CK) here's some sed magic.

Right click -> Properties -> (General) -> Set Launch Options
Put in echo "%command%" | sed 's/dowser/stellaris/' | sh
The game should just start, bypassing the launcher entirely.

nyanloutre · 2020-12-11T09:57:31Z

I also have a lot of issues with Proton (5.0-10) games lately (with nixos-unstable on commit e9158ec)

It began yesterday but I was not playing games for a few days.

I have either this (Among US, Pummel party), or the game doesn't launch at all (Assassin's Creed Origins)

nixos-discourse · 2020-12-19T03:51:31Z

This pull request has been mentioned on NixOS Discourse. There might be relevant details there:

1000101 · 2020-12-19T21:05:32Z

Are we tracking this issue somewhere else? It still doesn't work for majority of the games so I was wondering if I may somehow help in resolving this one. Running through different Proton versions is sub-optimal and introduces bunch of other problems.

Ah I guess this is the right place: #106503

mweinelt · 2020-12-19T23:46:29Z

Pretty sure #100655 tracks the issues with more recent Proton versions.

Thanks, it seems to be resolved with #107252 so hopefully there's no need for extra fixing.
