So routinely (about every few months) my NixOS steam configuration breaks for proton games. Apparently I’m a glutton for pain so here I am again, here’s the latest (relevant) error output when launching any steam proton game (native games work fine)

If I had to guess the error appears to be with libdrm, is anyone else experiencing this? I’m following the unstable branch and using the propriety nvidia driver.
As an aside … does anyone else find gaming on NixOS to be this problematic? What am I doing wrong here
Luckily there’s a workaround (as described in the issue), basically search for Steam Linux Runtime - Soldier in your games, go to the tools properties, then Betas → select previous release (let that install) restart and there ya go
Hi all, I found this topic via the GitHub issue linked above.
However, my issue is with DX11 not being able to switch to the requested resolution. Would it be better to open a different topic, or should I provide more details here?
Got around to install Steam from unstable on my system that is running on stable except for a couple of programs.
However, with Proton Experimental I still get the following error
It might have to do with default resolution that is a bit uncommon but works for Linux/SteamOS native games.
System has an embedded NVidia graphics card that is on by default (did not get offloading to work until now).
UPDATE: there are several (Gnome) modules that can not be loaded (logs start with the launch of the game). Some gameoverlay lib can also not be loaded, but this occurs for Linux/SteamOS games as well.

How are you installing steam? This looks suspiciously like it’s running with incompatible libraries, which is very odd for nixos. Are you using programs.steam.enable?
@TLATER for more than a year I am installing Steam via
environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
steam
];
The above was however with steam installed via nixos-unstable as
let
unstable = import <nixos-unstable> {
# pass the nixpkgs config to the unstable alias
config = config.nixpkgs.config;
};
in
{
environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
steam
];
}
I checked Steam - NixOS Wiki and it warns about installing via packages.
The note was probably added some time after I got steam working for the first time on my PC.
For those who check packages via NixOS Search, it might probably help to add the same note in the package description, if this is possible.
