I tried using both FlatPak and AppImage.
FlatPak downloads the game and updates it properly and I can run until I click Play. Then it starts loading for a while until the game crashes with “Spring error: null”
For AppImage, download starts but gets stuck at step 5: checking for update launcher
Anyone succeeded in running the game on NixOS?
Thanks in advance!

"checking for launcher updates" is only doing request to GitHub, that's all it does. Flatpak version doesn't have this step at all because it's updated via flatpak
Flatpak version should work without issues

PC specs? Older PC, integrated graphics?

I'm on Ubuntu not Nix, but I'm getting "Spring failed with code: null" as well. I can load and begin to play a game, but after ~60 seconds of gameplay the game seems to crash. Logs uploaded: https://bar-infologs.s3.amazonaws.com/spring-launcher-logs-20230329T202753745.zip

Is this what the "You are using an integrated graphics card. This is not supported, and the game will not work" message is about?

Kinda old but it has OK specs. GTX970 i5 and 16GB Ram
Will grab the logs soon, thanks for the answer
I think something else is happening now because I can't even get to the game menu this time

I see you have nvidia and try to play using nouveau driver, that's quite uncharted teritory.
and I see it just crashing all over the place about graphical things

The log above is using nvidia driver. I uninstalled it and could run the game, but then when I press Play to start a match I get this: https://bar-infologs.s3.amazonaws.com/spring-launcher-logs-20230329T222541110.zip

Oh, this was not intentional, I'm trying to play a match first before going on testing stuff like this. Is there a driver known to work for these settings?
cold lily
I'm not sure what do you mean by "these settings" ?

Sorry, I meant NixOS with an older NVIDIA (GTX970). I'm thinking that I don't have an unusual setup by using NixOS, my configuration.nix is pretty vanilla

In the logs I see:
nouveau driver nouveau: kernel rejected pushbuf: No such deviceerror "Couldn't find matching GLX visual" using with different combinations following

I might be wrong though

You may need to blacklist the nouveau driver
cold lily
So, I don't have nvidia hardware, but I don't know about people playing BAR using open source nouveau driver, because it's not very stable from my experience. Most people are installing official proprietary NViDia driver. I don't know how that is done on NixOS
You can experiment with it more, e.g. I see you are using wayland, maybe you can try to run also game natively on wayland by setting environment variable SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland

I see you have 8GiB of RAM, do you have SWAP configured? It looks like you *might *be running out of memory, and swap should help. (I would at least try that first if you don't have swap, and check if it helps)

$ swapon --show
/swapfile file 2G 1.5G -2
I guess I should try bumping that up to 8GiB? Haven't done this before but I think I can figure it out...

Ok, so I think my drivers are correct now. I got a new error however: https://bar-infologs.s3.amazonaws.com/spring-launcher-logs-20230330T023802899.zip
They are still GL related so maybe not so correct

If you just now installed new drivers in the system, make sure that in flatpak you have also installed correct opengl libraries.

TY Marek, this did the trick 🙂

I was experiencing an issue on NixOS where it could not find libopenal.so.1, I was able to circumvent this by extracting the AppImage to a folder with appimage-run -x bar Beyond-All-Reason-1.2124.0.AppImage (which will extract it into the bar folder) followed by changing directory into the folder cd bar, and running the game with steam-run (you can load an environment with nix-shell -p steam-run and run the game with steam-run ./AppRun).
