Now, if proton could be used outside if steam...
This used to be possible, but isn't anymore. Source: the author of lutris
Oh nice, didnt know that. Thanks for the info!
His version works though. I use Lutris for everything that isn't on steam or is a windows program, and it works great.
Huh? That's quite interesting.
I've been running a hacked-together script which uses a disembodied copy of Proton 8 (aka. copied to a portable drive, doesn't need to have Steam installed to run) to launch my games from Itch and GoG.
Hmm, just tried to use Proton 9.0-2 and the current experimental in my steamapps (which appears to be version 9.0-202), and it works just fine. Though, I guess Lutris' implementations are quite a bit more advanced than my hacks (no debugging let's goooo).
A very simplified version of my script, for those who might be interested: pastebin.com/kbNNvzAx. Don't forget to uncomment
game_exe
and set it to your executable - won't work otherwise.Also, pinging @DacoTaco@lemmy.world in case of interest.
