Proton-GE builds installed for Steam not showing
I have installed some Proton-GE builds with ProtonUp-Qt, and they show up as available Proton versions in Steam, but Heroic only shows GE-Proton-Latest for any game. I am using the Flatpak version of both Steam and Heroic.

looks related, because the code that reads the protons from steam https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/blob/d222cdf182d8e050d6fa1269c0944ad500b58c26/src/backend/utils/compatibility_layers.ts#L163
uses the
getSteamLibraries function that checks for that file https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/blob/d222cdf182d8e050d6fa1269c0944ad500b58c26/src/backend/utils.ts#L520
maybe try configuring the Default Steam Path setting to point to that steam's folder? we try to detect the correct path but maybe it didn't work https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/blob/d222cdf182d8e050d6fa1269c0944ad500b58c26/src/backend/config.ts#L50...5 Replies

where are these ge-proton builds being downloaded? is that path listed in heroic? (below the wine selector theres a (?) icon that lists all the paths we read)

I also checked that Heroic does have access to the Steam Flatpak userdata directory in Flatseal.
Is this relevant?

If I set
Default Steam Path to /home/aidan/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.steam/steam then the GE Protons from there show up.
