Description

Hello everybody let me start of by saying the Discord RPC IS working with Linux native games that use the Linux native Discord SDK libs. However games that bundle this library but run through Proton (Wine) do NOT work. If the methods list below are unable to work in the Flatpak environment just say so but I thought I'd bring these projects to your attention in case they CAN be worked in as it would be really nice to see.

I've tried setting up the latter but no dice.

You can also see an example on how the former would be setup in a non-Flatpak environment below.

Research direction

The issue names no repository files or tests. Start by reviewing the two linked Wine Discord IPC bridge projects and the non-Flatpak setup example, then determine whether Proton-launched games can reach Discord RPC inside this Flatpak. Done would be a documented feasibility result or a clearly scoped integration path.
