Linux Port – Feedback, Known Issues, and FAQ

It sounds really raw, digitised and like un-mixed compared to how I hear it

 

Yeah, sorry for mistake

Exactly, I can even hear the pitch change going in "steps" rather than being smooth.

It's better when using the orbit camera behind the car, but the closer to the engine, the worse it gets.

 

I figured as a new owner and NixOS user, I'd include a sort of minimal working configuration since I haven't seen anything else definitive in this thread in that regard. Apologies if this is a bad place to post this, but I figured it might be one of the first places people end up looking.

I chose to use the nix-ld approach to get this running, and ended up with:

Code:

  programs.nix-ld = {
    enable = true;
    libraries = [
      pkgs.alsa-lib
      pkgs.at-spi2-core
      pkgs.cairo
      pkgs.cups
      pkgs.dbus
      pkgs.fontconfig
      pkgs.freetype
      pkgs.glib
      pkgs.libgbm
      pkgs.libx11
      pkgs.libxcb
      pkgs.libxext
      pkgs.libxfixes
      pkgs.libxkbcommon
      pkgs.libxrandr
      pkgs.nspr
      pkgs.nss
      pkgs.pango
      pkgs.vulkan-loader
      pkgs.xorg.libXcomposite
      pkgs.xorg.libXdamage
    ];
  };

And then it runs from the command line with:

Code:

SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/BeamNG.drive/BinLinux/BeamNG.drive.x64

I'm definitely open to suggestions though if there is a better way of doing this under NixOS. Already crashed my limo a few times!
