    Try installing it through Steam instead of using Wine directly. Mine is currently set to "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool" and GE-Proton7-41, so try installing that one if none of the Proton versions that come with the Steam client works. Installing a custom version of Proton is fairly simple if you know the command line, basically just unpack it into the right folder. But if you prefer graphical tools you can use ProtonUp-Qt instead.

    Bit late but luxtorpeda has gzdoom as an option along with qzdl for launching with mods. You just gotta install protonup-qt from the discover store in desktop mode. A quick YouTube/Google search can show you how but that's the rough gist of it.

    Using the proton-ge fork itโ€™s been working like a charm (except quitting for some reason, but I can use the deck UI to force it to exit). Upstream proton is missing some patch regarding shared resources (or something like that) that is necessary for the login screen. I installed proton-ge using ProtonUp-Qt.

    It looks that was at first, but it really isn't. I recommend trying out the ProtonUp-Qt tool to manage Wine-GE and DXVK versions. It also downloads and installs Proton-GE versions for Steam. It does a lot of management leg work for you, highly recommended. A good thing about Lutris is that it can be configured to launch everything. For example if you have some older Windows games that only come as a folder with files and an .EXE in it, it can be configured to launch that with whichever Wine version you want. So it can become your "personal launcher" for everything. I even use to to launch some non-gaming programs. And for bigger non-Steam games, Lutris usually has scripts that take care of the installation and configuration completely.

    Protonup - a handy thing you can use to add Proton GE onto steam. When you have added protonGE with protonup - restart steam and right click on the game you want to use protonGE on and select compatibility layer and choose your newly added protonGE.ProtonGE is Proton with patches that GloriousEggroll got together. Since it's not made by Valve you need to add it manually hence using proton up for easy adding, otherwise you need to go to his Github and download it then navigate to ~/.steam/root/ and make a compatibilitytools.d folder then unzip the tarball into that folder, so just use proton up it's easier.

    If you decide to stay on Fedora, then I can recommend you to enable the mesa-git Copr & just use Proton-GE. You can install it easily with ProtonUp-Qt.
