Launching Games via PortProton instead of Heroic
Is there a way to have a listed game be able to launch via PortProton instead of heroic's wine setup? There are certain games that I just cannot get to run right via heroic that run perfectly fine via portproton like my Farcry 3 which loads to main menu within like 10-15 seconds via PortProton but doesn't want to load via Heroic.
I looked through the logs to see if there was anything and it was vague cause at first the game would just crash because I didn't have d3dx9_36 but now it's just stuck infinitely loading with no errors in the logs that I can see. I could just load via port proton but I'd like to be able to have all my games listed through heroic if possible so I have 1 central location for launching my games.

I got the game to actually load into a new game on port proton but man, 10fps is uhh, not exactly the most playable experience sooo.

how do you own this?

hey nvm, I finally got at least far cry 3 working properly after getting home I just had to install a bunch of vcrun and d3d crap using winetricks.
one quick thing tho, the heroic logo that shows up on system tray could probably have the sword flipped upside down and maybe have the hilt be a bit larger cause at a glance, that icon looks like an anti-virus thing since it looks like a shield with an exclamation point
