[Bug 50045] [Feature request] Mapping Windows Named Pipes to Unix Domain Sockets

[WineHQ Bugzilla]

I don't think that would help since the game uses named pipes.

The way Rich Presence works is as follows:

On Windows:

When Discord is started, it creates a named pipe at `\\.\pipe\discord-ipc-0`
and listens for connections.

When a game supporting Rich Presence is started, it connects to that pipe and
the two programs communicate using JSON.

On Linux, it's basically identical, but instead of a named pipe, it's a unix
socket in, e.g. `/tmp/discord-ipc-0`. (The actual path depends on system
configuration, but that's irrelevant).

So just implementing AF_UNIX sockets wouldn't help, the game wouldn't touch
them.
