[SOLVED] Add to Steam Not Working for Linux PC
I am a new Linux user and really like your app. While I do not critically need it, I would like to add some of your games to my steam launcher.
When I click "Add to Steam" in one of my games, the game will not launch. Is there something I can read for troubleshooting because I cannot find a solution online or by videos.
I am on a PC and not steam deck.

Wine-GE is rather old now (last release is almost a year ago) and thus might not work correctly. Please follow these instructions on using GE-Proton:
1. Head to the Wine Manager in Heroic, click the "Proton-GE" tab, and install "Proton-GE-Latest"
2. Head to the settings for your game(s) (icon on game card in library). In the "Wine Version" dropdown, select "Proton - Proton-GE-latest"
3. Rename your Wineprefix (path is shown in game settings), e.g. from
Note: This will make game-specific configuration data (e.g. in-game settings or save files) unavailable. If this is an issue, let us know & we'll help you restore them.
