Hello,
I’m trying to get Railgrade from Steam to run on NixOS, without success.
When I click “Play”, the game remains stuck on “Launching”… and that’s it. It just sits there…
The issue is a bit weird and inconsistent… I remember having this issue with Mashinky as well, though after changing the Proton version around a bit and back… It just suddenly started working without issues. I have yet to determine what the heck I even changed that caused it to work.
Are there log files somewhere that might be of some use?
Here’s what I get when I run Steam from the command line:
steam.sh[15321]: Running Steam on nixos 23.05 64-bit
steam.sh[15321]: STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
setup.sh[15399]: Steam runtime environment up-to-date!

I’ll go dig for some more log files to see what I can find.
