protonhax VS protontricks

Yes, see https://github.com/jcnils/protonhax

On Steam, since it uses Proton, the only way of running an .exe on the prefix would be using ProtonHax.

I've used Cheat Engine with Elden Ring. I used https://github.com/jcnils/protonhax to run CE within the wine instance started by Proton. But I think I used the x86_64 version. You specifically talk about a speed hack. Have you tried other cheats? If it's specifically the speed hack that doesn't work, it may be broken with the current version of whatever game you're trying to hack.

How did you install cheat engine? You need to run it in the same proton/wine prefix as your target process. I use protonhax for steam games, but there are other ways. If you're targeting native linux processes, look into ceserver.

try protonhax, it works with bakkesmod

Using protonhax, I got CE to work.

Just played games on Linux for the first time. It's way easier than I originally thought since Proton is integrated into Steam client. Can even run non-Steam games through Steam client but had to use protontricks to add dependencies like Visual C++ redistributables.

We'll be needing Protontricks to install those packages into our Proton session of our game (each steam game has their own one). You can install it here https://github.com/Matoking/protontricks.

Try to run the mod manager in the game prefix by using protontricks.

ALSO if a mod has some kind of external dependency, like if it specifically mentions needing VisualC or .NET Runtime, Protontricks will be a lifesaver for installing these into Proton prefixes. Might not need it often, but could come in handy to know anyways.

I'm learning a bit more about Proton. You can install Protontricks and then run protontricks 824270 and it should install stuff for you.

You can try protontricks with protontricks 1730590 winhttp (1730590 is The Entropy Centre's Steam App ID, that I just looked up on protondb)

That might be a problem, you could try to install native d3dx9 and xact to the game's wine prefix using winetricks or protontricks. I'd try d3dx9 on it's own first.

But I suspect that you'd find it much easier and more convenient to just use protontricks for this.

install it in the game's proton instance with protontricks
