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 install and toremove it simply run./launchd 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.

• 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.
