why doesnt valve demand devs make linux builds? if microsoft changed their apis wouldnt new games just not work on proton?

    If you launch it via doubleclick it will probably go via wine. Idk how I did it but the way I have configured whenever I click an exe, protontricks loads up and asks me to pick an environment for a game. This way if you pick the env assigned to cities skylines, in theory it should use the same isolated “windows files”, which should help with mods I guess.

      It launches from a submenu in the game, but the exe comes from steam workshop and I think it sots in the game folder. Interesting stuff and I’m excited at all the love Linux is getting from gamers this year
