ProtonUpdater VS protonup

As you can see I manually installed the most recent Proton version 7.20. First I tried version 7.17 without success. So make sure to install the newest. If you don't know how to do that just use this simple script: https://github.com/flubberding/ProtonUpdater.

I've also written a script that installs/updates ProtonGE for you in the past, which was my first real attempt at learning bashscripting and even got semi popular. I've had several plans to implement in a newer version (and even implemented a few) but I never got around to it. Lately I've been thinking about picking it up again tho.

You can do it manually but I just find it easier to use a script like this which automatically installs the latest proton ge. Run it and it will automatically install the latest proton ge as an option in steam https://github.com/flubberding/ProtonUpdater

There is already scripts like that; - https://github.com/Termuellinator/Proton-Community-Updater - https://github.com/flubberding/ProtonUpdater

Im pretty new to linux, but ive tried digging around for this but couldnt find an answer unless i was the one creating forks etc. But im looking into if its possible to have a system setup to be notified when an update from a package i installed( lets say ProtonGE from Glorious) to inform me an update has been released and then download it. I do see the Protonupdater from Flubberding, but would need to be ran everytime to check for updates. Would there be an easy method i can use to do this, or just stick with checking protonupdater manually ?

Cproton, which is a script that downloads the latest version of a fork of Proton from github, extracts it into the right directory and restarts Steam if the user wishes so. FYI: Proton is (a package of) software by Valve that's build into Steam that enables you to run most Windows games on Linux. It combines Wine, DXVK and some other technologies. This fork is a popular enhanced version by a Redhat employee that's more up-to-date and has some extra fixes. Normally you'd have to go to Github, download the latest version from the page and manually extract it into the right folder.

Updater scripts are great for proton ge Hereis a nice one.

For arch based distros it's in the AUR, but I also remember using some script to update it. It might have been protonup from the command line, or some bash script I had.

Adding stuff to the steam directory should not crash your system, wonder if you have some other problems. Anyway protonup is a nice little program to download GE if you are interested.

I compiled and download ProtonUp and I can't get the program to work properly. The exact issue I am facing is described here: https://github.com/AUNaseef/protonup/issues/25

ProtonUp is your friend: https://github.com/AUNaseef/protonup

Also, I highly recommend to get Proton GE, it runs even better than the Steam versions of Proton. I’ve installed it using protonup, which makes it super convenient to update!

For proton games, use proton-ge. It's installable manually, but its more convenient to use protonup and come back when it's done. For non-proton games, the proton-ge dev makes wine-ge, which you can use as a wineprefix that has patches preinstalled for a bunch of games.

Found the updater protonUP, but I’m not a huge fan of pip so idk if I’ll mess with it

Yup, it’s just a problem with steam not being able to ship Microsoft’s video format in their version of proton. It is very easy to install proton GE with protonup
