protontricks inconsistent behavior

When running protontricks -l, I see the list of games correctly. When I run protontricks <appid> regedit, it says "Could not find configured Proton installation!". I'm lost on how to debug at this point.

I think what is most confusing is that even though the game I'm testing with is using Proton Experimental by default, protontricks can't find the prefix if I don't force a compatibility version. This isn't a real fix, but what works is launching the game while using the PROTON_VERSION environment variable. If you aren't using your home directory for proton tricks, you'll need to use flatseal to make sure it has access to whatever drive you are using. if the game isn't running, it will fail to launch the windows kernel
