Simple bridge that allows you to use Discord Rich Presence with Wine games/software.

Works by running a small program in the background that creates anamed pipe\\.\pipe\discord-ipc-0 inside the prefix and forwards all data to the pipe/run/user/1000/discord-ipc-0.

This bridge takes advantage of the Windows service implementation in Wine, eliminating the need to manually run any programs.

Installation will copy itself toC:\windows\bridge.exe and create a Windows service.
Logs are stored inC:\windows\logs\bridge.log.

• Double clickbridge.exe and clickInstall.
  • 
• To remove, the same process can be followed, but clickRemove instead.

Note, anextra step is needed on MacOS

• Click on a game and selectRun EXE inside Wine prefix.
  • 
• The same process can be followed as in Wine.

• Right click on the game and selectProperties.
• UnderSet Launch Options, add the following:
  • 
• Thebridge.sh script must be in the same directory asbridge.exe.

• If you are running Steam, Lutris, etc in a Flatpak, you will need to allow the bridge to access the/run/user/1000/discord-ipc-0 file.

  • By usingFlatseal

    • Addxdg-run/discord-ipc-0 underFilesystems category
      • 

  • By using the terminal

    • Per application
      • flatpak override --filesystem=xdg-run/discord-ipc-0 <flatpak app name>
    • Globally
      • flatpak override --user --filesystem=xdg-run/discord-ipc-0

The steps for MacOS are almost the same, but due to the way$TMPDIR works, you will have to install aLaunchAgent.

• Download the latest build from thereleases
• Open the archive and make thelaunchd.sh script executable by doing:chmod +x launchd.sh
• Toinstall the LaunchAgent, run./launchd.sh install and toremove it simply run./launchd.sh remove.

The script will add a LaunchAgent to your user, that will symlink the$TMPDIR directory to/tmp/rpc-bridge/tmpdir.

Note: You will need to launch thebridge.exe file manually in Wine at least once for it to register and launch automatically the next time.

More details on how to install the LaunchAgent can be found in thedocumentation.

• Install thewine,gcc-mingw-w64 andmake packages.
• Open a terminal in the directory that contains this file and runmake.
• The compiled executable will be located inbuild/bridge.exe.
