# Discord RPC Bridge for Wine
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Simple bridge that allows you to use Discord Rich Presence with Wine games/software on Linux/macOS.
|
|
|
|
[Download latest release](https://github.com/EnderIce2/rpc-bridge/releases/latest/download/bridge.zip "Recommended"){ .md-button .md-button--primary }
|
|
[Download latest pre-release](https://github.com/EnderIce2/rpc-bridge/releases "Unstable builds with experimental features"){ .md-button }
|
|
[Download latest build](https://github.com/EnderIce2/rpc-bridge/actions/workflows/build.yml "Builds from the latest commits, here be dragons!"){ .md-button }
|
|
|
|
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.

## My game is not showing up in Discord
|
|
|
|
If your game is not showing up in Discord, please check the following:
|
|
|
|
- The game you are playing has [Rich Presence](https://discord.com/developers/docs/rich-presence/overview) support!
|
|
- Some games may not have this feature. It's up to developers of the game to implement it.
|
|
This is not an issue related to the bridge.
|
|
|
|
- You followed the installation steps correctly.
|
|
|
|
- You are using the latest version of the bridge. Currently is .
|
|
|
|
### I still want to see the game in Discord!
|
|
|
|
This is outside the scope of this project, but here are some workarounds:
|
|
|
|
- You can manually add the game to Discord by going to `User Settings >` under `Activity Settings` in `Registered Games` tab. [Official Article](https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/7931156448919-Activity-Status-Recent-Activity#h_01HTJA8QV5ABSA6FY6GEPMA946)
|
|
- Tip: You can rename the game to whatever you want.

|
- Install the `wine`, `gcc-mingw-w64` and `make` packages.
|
|
