I’ve encountered an issue on my NixOS system while trying to launch Helldivers II via Steam. This setup was working fine until recently, so I suspect a recent change or update might be causing these problems. I’m leaning towards it being an NVIDIA-related issue, but I’m not entirely sure. I’m hoping to get some insights from this knowledgeable community. Thanks in advance, and if you’d want me to run something to help get more information about the system, I’m very willing to do so. Thanks!!
System Configuration
- OS: NixOS 23.11.20240228.c8e74c2 (Tapir)
- Window System: Wayland (Hyprland)
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080
- NVIDIA Driver Version: 535.129.03
- Steam Runtime: Enabled
Issue Summary
The main issues from the logs include:
-
ELF Class Mismatch: Errors related to
gameoverlayrenderer.sobeing ignored due to wrong ELF class (ELFCLASS32 vs. ELFCLASS64). -
Missing
libcrypto.so.1.1: The game fails to launch due to missing dependencies forlibnvidia-pkcs11.so.535.129.03, specifically looking forlibcrypto.so.1.1. -
Module Load Failure:
libdconfsettings.sofails to load due to an “undefined symbol: g_assertion_message_cmpint” and wrong ELF class (ELFCLASS64).
How to Replicate the Issue
- Start Steam: Open the Steam client on your NixOS system.
- Navigate to Library: Go to your Steam library where your games are listed.
- Launch Helldivers II: Find Helldivers II in the list, and click the “Play” button to start the game.
What Happens
After attempting to start Helldivers II, the game appears to begin launching, with the typical indicators of game startup. However, the process abruptly stops without the game window appearing. The “Play” button in Steam, which had turned blue indicating that the game is running, reverts back to the green “Play” state. This indicates that the game fails to start properly.

Seeking Guidance
- Has anyone faced a similar issue with games on Steam under NixOS, especially regarding NVIDIA driver compatibility?
- Any suggestions on resolving the ELF class mismatch or ensuring the required libraries are correctly located and loaded?
- Insights on whether a system update or configuration change might have led to this situation would be greatly appreciated.
I’m somewhat confused as this configuration was working just a few days ago. Any advice, or suggestions on where to look next would be immensely helpful.
Thanks!
