Description

Feature Request

I confirm:

  • that I haven't found another request for this feature.
  • that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available that
    contain this feature already.

Description

When I play a game with Steam Play in Discord instead of displaying the title of the game on the members list and on my user profile it either says "wine64-preloader" or "wine-preloader" or "proton" or "wineserver". I've tried adding the game manually in the user settings under the game activity tab but I can't see it's process on the drop down menu. I've checked this on both Ubuntu and Manjaro Linux. I'm not sure if this a problem with Steam Play or Discord, but if it's a problem with Steam Play would it be possible to add support for Discord game activity and for Discord Rich Presence?

Research direction

Start by determining whether Discord game activity and Rich Presence support belongs in Proton or Discord, then reproduce the reported process names on Ubuntu or Manjaro with Steam Play. Review Discord's linked game detection and Rich Presence documentation; done means the correct game title and requested presence data are exposed rather than wine64-preloader, wine-preloader, proton, or wineserver.
