Hi, first of all thank you so much for games on whales! I have been trying to do proper headless streaming on wayland and this is the best project out there!

I am trying to run Frostpunk 2 via steam using an Intel A770 and I get the following error: Your graphics card Intel Arc A770 Graphics does not support all the necessary features to run Frostpunk 2. The following features are missing: 64-bit atomic.

Of course, I am able to run Frostpunk 2 locally and stream over sunshine, so there is no actual incompatibility and the issue lies somewhere with Wolf. I am able to run other games just fine through wolf as well. The service is running on a NixOS machine with the following config which I have created as close as possible to the instructions for podman quadlets:

      let
        service-name = "podman-wolf";
      in
      {
        networking.firewall = {
          enable = true;
          allowedTCPPorts = [
            47984
            47989
            48010
          ];
          allowedUDPPorts = [
            47999
            48000
            48010
            48100
            48200
          ];
        };

        virtualisation.oci-containers.containers.wolf = {
          image = "ghcr.io/games-on-whales/wolf:stable";
          networks = [ "host" ];
          # privileged = true; # uncommenting doesn't change anything
          extraOptions = [
            "--ipc=host"
            "--device-cgroup-rule=\"c 13:* rmw\""
          ];

          devices = [
            "/dev/dri"
            "/dev/uinput"
            "/dev/uhid"
          ];
          volumes = [
            "/dev/:/dev/:rw"
            "/run/udev:/run/udev:rw"
            "/var/lib/${service-name}/:/etc/wolf:z"
            "/run/podman/podman.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro"
          ];
          environment = {
            WOLF_STOP_CONTAINER_ON_EXIT = "TRUE";
            WOLF_RENDER_NODE = "/dev/dri/renderD129";
          };
        };

        systemd.services.${service-name} = {

          description = "Wolf / Games On Whales";
          requires = [
            "network-online.target"
            "podman.socket"
          ];
          after = [
            "network-online.target"
            "podman.socket"
          ];
          serviceConfig = {
            ExecStartPre = "-/usr/bin/podman rm --force WolfPulseAudio";
            StateDirectory = service-name;
          };

          wantedBy = [ "multi-user.target" ];
        };
      };

I am wondering if there is an old driver version used in the wolf container that is incompatible with the newer intel cards? Anyway, thanks again for this project!

Can you try out the image that I've just pushed in https://github.com/games-on-whales/gow/pull/282 ? It's still WIP, there might be other things broken given that it's a complete distro change; any feedback is welcome 😉

Sorry it took so long to figure out, I was playing around with creating a NixOS service for it and finally got that working. The new image works perfectly and Frostpunk 2 runs! Thank you very much! Closing.
