ProtonUp-Qt...won't offer Wine-GE updates...only on Lutris?? (lemm.ee)

So...I'm trying to get Proton 9.13, as I've just read it might be able to run The Casting of Frank Stone without crashes. And...I CAN SEE IT. When I choose Steam on ProtonUp-QT. Or when I choose Bottles. But when I choose Lutris, then add version...the latest GE-Proton it shows me is 8-26. Nothing newer than that. What gives? Why?

Wine GE is discontinued in favor of Proton GE. See https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/wine-ge-custom/releases/tag/GE-Proton8-26

I'm not entirely sure how Lutris updates proton, but it should be able to detect and use the Proton GE versions you installed to Steam with ProtonUp-Qt.

my god... thank you GloriousEggroll for all your hard work, but please find someone else to write the documentation. it's hella confusing and explains nada, despite your best efforts.

Thanks...I guess I phrased my question wrong. On ProtonUp-QT:

-Steam / Add Version / GE-Proton / GE-Proton9-13 is available to install

-Bottles / Add Version / GE-Proton / GE-Proton9-13 is available to install

-Lutris / Add Version / Wine-GE (this is where GE-Proton releases are listed!) / Ge-Proton8-26 is the latest available to install

As far as I understood this is due to preferring ULWGL for proton/wine in lutris now.

How can i get it running for Lutris?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

It should be part of Lutris since 5.17 Not sure if or how it works with flatpack though, should you use that.

Because GE-Proton =/= Wine-GE. You might need 9-13, but Wine-GE doesn't go that high. 8-26 was the last one
