You may have `SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland` set in your environment, which seems to bother some older titles (e.g. original Half-Life). Set the launch options in the steam UI to 'SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 %command%' and it should work. | |||

Elaborating on the incomplete flag (expansion template): Tried to install steam the way it is described here, and even with nix-shell, but no joy. Read a lot about steam-run but have no clue what it is, or how to use it, and the package description is completely devoid of any info. --Toraritte (talk) 19:05, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
Thank you!
Finally I can run GOG on NixOS without patching or repatching any executable. Figured it out, hope it helps others. Big kudo's to maintainers of steam and steam-run for the wonderful expression!! Cx405 (talk) 03:51, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

Failed to create SDL window
You may have `SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland` set in your environment, which seems to bother some older titles (e.g. original Half-Life). Set the launch options in the steam UI to 'SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 %command%' and it should work.
