Problems with ranked

[ursi]

When I try to play ranked and hit start, I get

Error
Please update and restart Slippi Launcher to verify email and accept rules

I have redownloaded my user.json, thinking might have a new field now or something, but that had no effect.

Yeah, this had me confused as well. You'll need to use the Slippi-Launcher-2.7.0-x86_64.AppImage, which we don't currently have packaged.

There's a link to Slippi Launcher on https://slippi.gg/downloads:

• https://github.com/project-slippi/slippi-launcher/releases/download/v2.7.0/Slippi-Launcher-2.7.0-x86_64.AppImage

(It's the v2.7.0 release, in the project-slippi/slippi-launcher repository).

You can use appimage-run to execute this launcher:

cd $PATH_TO_APPIMAGE
nix-shell -p appimage-run --run 'appimage-run Slippi-Launcher-2.7.0-x86_64.AppImage'

I think you need to be logged in, but after that, it will make a request to, I think, https://slippi.firebaseapp.com?, and after that you should get an email confirmation.

You'll be prompted to accept the Terms of Service. After that, don't worry about Slippi Launcher anymore - you can go back to however you were loading Ranked previously, and you should be good to go!

You'll hit some issues if you try to click any of the "open file" dialogues:

(slippi-launcher:1454943): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 18:14:41.763: No GSettings schemas are installed on the system

Wow, there's actually a nixpkgs issue, with someone trying to run Slippi Launcher, where they got some help back in 2020:

• appimage-run can't find GSettings schemas NixOS/nixpkgs#93561

This can be solved by setting the environment variable $XDG_DATA_DIRS to include the appropriate schemas, kinda like this:

export XDG_DATA_DIRS=${gsettings-desktop-schemas}/share/gsettings-schemas/${gsettings-desktop-schemas.name}:${gtk3}/share/gsettings-schemas/${gtk3.name}:$XDG_DATA_DIRS

Let me know if you hit issues with that, and I can provide more support. Alternatively, you can modify the configuration files (which are JSON), which should be located somewhere like $HOME/.config/Slippi Launcher.

I have not been playing slippi really at all since I posted this. just curious if the situation has changed.
