Simple bridge that allows you to use Discord Rich Presence with Wine games/software on Linux/macOS.

Works by running a small program in the background that creates a [named pipe](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/ipc/named-pipes) `\\.\pipe\discord-ipc-0` inside the prefix and forwards all data to the pipe `/run/user/1000/discord-ipc-0`.

This bridge takes advantage of the Windows service implementation in Wine, eliminating the need to run it manually.

These docs are for the latest stable release.  
For v1.0, see [the original README](https://github.com/EnderIce2/rpc-bridge/blob/v1.0/README.md).

## Known Issues

- If you use **Vesktop**
  Some games may not show up in Discord. This is because Vesktop uses arRPC, which it doesn't work with some games [#4](https://github.com/EnderIce2/rpc-bridge/issues/4#issuecomment-2143549407). This is not an issue with the bridge.
