Can't run a Godot Engine binary nix-ld

Help

I am trying to run a course binary for Godot engine, which has practice projects and plugins preinstalled. Unfortunately, I’m running into a display issue with Wayland and x11 when I try to run it.

Here is the exact error I get with running the binary:

./Godot_v4.4-stable_linux.x86_64

I have tried installing the xlib packages didn’t work, so I uninstalled them, here is a paste with config.
I am fairly new to Linux and NixOS in general, so anything you need, please ask!

I found the comments in the code :grin::

   programs.nix-ld.libraries = with pkgs; [
    # Add any missing dynamic libraries for unpackaged programs
    # here, NOT in environment.systemPackages
  ];

Try adding fontconfig, wayland, and libX11 to programs.nix-ld.libraries. These might not be enough, if it doesn’t work, copy the dependencies from nixpkgs godot. Also remove them from environment.systemPackages

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$NIX_LD_LIBRARY_PATH before running this binary

Hi, thanks for the reply, I ended up switching distros since I still couldn’t get it to work. I however, will enjoy using the nix package manager as before. Thanks!
