Bug ID: 50045 Summary: [Feature request] Mapping Windows Named Pipes to Unix Domain Sockets Product: Wine Version: unspecified Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: wineserver Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: 0e4ef622@gmail.com Distribution: ---
The main motivation for this feature is Discord Rich Presence. This would enable games running under wine to support Rich Presence with a natively running Discord application. Note that it is possible to emulate this feature using an external "proxy" program running in the same wineprefix.
Here are 2 such programs: https://github.com/0e4ef622/wine-discord-ipc-bridge https://github.com/openglfreak/winestreamproxy
Although they work, I believe it's possible and more ideal to have wineserver simply serve a file descriptor connected to the socket when a game connects to the named pipe.
