protonfixes VS protonfixes

You can see what is implemented by finding your game in this folder.

That's what protonfixes included in proton ge builds do and lutris install scripts they add fixes and winetricks dlls to get games running without extra tweaking. https://github.com/simons-public/protonfixes

One of the more important parts of proton GE is that incorporates protonfixes this will automatically install dependencies e.g like the direct x 43 complier in Batman Arkhams case. I think the game does a check for the dll and throws error, these dlls are not something valve can legally include but the end user can download and install themselves.

The biggest difference is they have built in the protonfixes library this automates installing missing dlls other settings using proton tricks.

Have you tried to: * update ProtonGE (I use version 7-49 but I see 7-50 was released yesterday) * remove the file /home/deck/.local/share/Steam/compatibilitytools.d/GE-Proton7-49/protonfixes/gamefixes/1097150.py (source here)

"wmp9_ge" and "klite" custom winetricks verbs, you can download them from here

Fixes should land in GE-Proton7-34: https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/protonfixes/pull/94

^ And Proton-GE, if you use it, will automatically fetch packages it knows that you need. This isn't all that common though.

I suppose save game detection and folder merging could be done on a per-game basis with something like protonfixes.

It has a script with known fixes for each game e.g persona 4 script is here

There are kinda two levels of "game fixes". There are out-of-tree patches to Wine that were made to fix specific games but are not yet sufficiently tested or might present some other problems that prevent them from being included in upstream Wine yet. These are included in wine-ge, yes. Then there are "protonfixes", these are specific to Steam. They are Python scripts that run before the game is started to install dependencies or make other changes to the prefix that are required to run that specific game. Since they use Steam codes to reference the games, they can't work outside of Steam, so these are not in wine-ge. If you use Lutris to install games, then Lutris has install scripts that can do the same job, so it generally cover for it.
