Wemod on NVIDIA Wayland with Steam
Users have reported issues running the WeMod launcher on systems using NVIDIA graphics with Wayland in conjunction with Steam. This page provides an overview of the problem, potential workarounds, and the current status of the issue.
- The WeMod launcher may fail to launch or operate correctly when running on Wayland.
- Users may experience crashes or freezing when attempting to use the launcher in this environment.
- Or it may just take a lot of time to load Wemod on Wayland.
The issues are primarily attributed to the interaction between the following components:
- NVIDIA Drivers: There are known compatibility issues between NVIDIA drivers and the Wayland display server protocol.
- Wayland: While Wayland offers many advantages over X11, it may not fully support all functionalities required by applications running through Wine.
- Steam: Steam's interaction with both Wine and the WeMod launcher can exacerbate these issues.
After thorough investigation, no viable solution has been discovered for the compatibility issues stemming from the combination of Wine, NVIDIA, and Steam. The only potential workaround, if other methods fail, is to utilize X11 or XWayland (Or try to wait).
As the root cause of the issue is related to NVIDIA drivers, Wayland, and Steam's interaction, we are closing this issue. Unfortunately, it cannot be resolved by the WeMod launcher due to the underlying complexities with these components.
If you encounter issues while using the WeMod launcher on NVIDIA with Wayland, consider the following steps:
-
Switch to X11/XWayland:
- If other solutions do not work, switch your session to X11 or use XWayland. This may alleviate some compatibility issues and allow the WeMod launcher to function correctly.
-
Update Drivers:
- Ensure that your NVIDIA drivers are up to date. Check the NVIDIA website or your distribution's package manager for the latest version.
-
Launch Options:
- Experiment with different launch options in Steam to see if any adjustments improve compatibility with the WeMod launcher.
-
Waiting:
- Waiting for a longer time for Wemod to load may work, as it has been reported that Wemod is very slow in combination with Wayland.
While we strive to improve the compatibility of the WeMod launcher across various systems, the current issues with NVIDIA, Wayland, and Steam are beyond the scope of the WeMod application itself. We appreciate your understanding as we work towards better solutions in the future.
