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 Steam game ID rather than the full length directory to the Proton prefix itself, I'd 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:
protontricks <STEAM GAME ID> <ACTIONS>
Since this is a wrapper, all syntax that works for Winetricks will potentially work for Protontricks. If you need a specific game ID, check the store page's URL for the ID itself.
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/protontricksIf 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!
