A simple wrapper that does winetricks things for Proton enabled games, requires Winetricks.
This is a simple wrapper script that uses Winetricks to allow you to specify the game's App ID rather than the full length directory to the Proton prefix itself, I thought this would be easier for some so I decided to upload it for everyone to use!
- Python 3 or newer
- Winetricks
- The Steam beta
The basic usage is as follows:
# Find your game's App ID by searching for it
protontricks -s <GAME NAME>
# Run winetricks for the game
protontricks <APPID> <ACTIONS>
# Run the protontricks GUI
protontricks gui
Since this is a wrapper, all syntax that works for Winetricks will potentially work for Protontricks.
If you have a different Steam directory (Like I do due to Arch's silly directory tomfoolery), you can export $STEAM_DIR to the directory where Steam is.
If you'd like to use a local version of Winetricks, you can set $WINETRICKS to the location of your local winetricks installation. As well, you can set $PROTON_VERSION to a specific version manually.
Wanna see Protontricks in action?
I'd say the easiest way to install is by doing the following commands:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Sirmentio/protontricks/master/protontricks && chmod +x protontricks
sudo mv protontricks /usr/bin/protontricksCurrently, the following is the current unofficial packages that can make installing and updating much easier. These are not maintained by me because I currently don't have the capacity of knowing how to make distro packages. Feel free to contribute and try to maintain your own distro packages and add them here.
- Arch Linux
- Ubuntu (Nonexistent?)
If you'd like, you can hit me up on twitter @Sirmentio, or on the Linux Gaming Discord, I don't talk much there but I'd be happy to hear from anyone who has something to say!
