(You set up a fresh WINEPREFIX with 'winboot' btw) And any time you want to run a game, you would need to set that WINEPREFIX to where it is installed. The directory names you choose can be anything you want. Other, would be $ WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-7 winecfg But let's say you have a game that wants XP mode, and a game that wants Win7 mode:įirst game, you would do $ WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-xp winecfg If you run winecfg with no WINEPREFIX set, it just edits the default ~/.wine. Well, winecfg just configures a WINEPREFIX. Update #2: Yeah not a damn clue of how I got this to work the first time. Update #1: OK so it actually works proton is running the gameĮdit #1: Corrected the top part as to not cause confusion to the reader.

If I find out anything I will post it here. This might be common knowledge but I didn't know about it probably wouldn't have fucked around with proton so much if I knew this was a thing.

Go to Launch options and Add -wine or -proton to the box.Īlso I found a way to run wine from Steam while fucking around today.

Go to the games properties on Steam and force Proton use.

Go to add a game and add the game executable from the folder it is contained.

Here are the steps that I took to trigger proton use on non-steam game. Okay so I am not sure if Proton is the reason for the game starting but I am going to look into it.
