Tips

  • Please make sure the file or folder name does not contain slashes or quotes.
  • If you are unable to click on the selected cheat, please switch to windowed mode in the game settings.
  • If the program or trainer is not launching, it may be due to requiring .NET Core, .NET Framework or Visual Studio Redistributable that is not available in your compatibility environment. Use protontricks to install the required dependency.

Other Options

  • LANGUAGE: Use the language code setting if your game or cheat language not correct (most on non-steam games).
  • DXVK_ASYNC: Enable shaders pre-calculate for games use ProtonGE below version 7-45.
  • RADV_PERFTEST: Enable shaders pre-calculate for games use ProtonGE above version 7-45.
  • STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH: Specify a folder as the shared prefix for the game, so you don't have to upgrade dependencies repeatedly. (May need to migrate game saves)
