C

colossal-harlequin•11/7/23, 8:08 PM

proton is meant to be used with steam and steam only

C

colossal-harlequin•11/7/23, 8:08 PM

with very few exceptions

Ccolossal-harlequin proton is meant to be used with steam and steam only

E

efficient-indigoOP•11/7/23, 8:08 PM

I see.

E

efficient-indigoOP•11/7/23, 8:08 PM

So if a game doesn't work I should try

Wine-GE

Wine-GE

Wine-GE

Wine-GE instead?

C

colossal-harlequin•11/7/23, 8:08 PM

you should make wine-ge the default

C

colossal-harlequin•11/7/23, 8:08 PM

for heroic

E

efficient-indigoOP•11/7/23, 8:08 PM

Ah! That's why it said,

[S_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed; connect to global user failed.

[S_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed; connect to global user failed.

C

colossal-harlequin•11/7/23, 8:09 PM

well, no

Ccolossal-harlequin for heroic

E

efficient-indigoOP•11/7/23, 8:09 PM

I see. OK will do.

C

colossal-harlequin•11/7/23, 8:09 PM

proton also doesn't really log anything, so that message doesn't really mean anything

E

efficient-indigoOP•11/7/23, 8:09 PM

I see.

E

efficient-indigoOP•11/7/23, 8:09 PM

Well, thanks! I will change the default to Wine-GE for heroic.

C

colossal-harlequin•11/7/23, 8:09 PM
