Download Custom Proton

Custom Proton packages can be downloaded and added in one of the following ways:

  • using the Download Custom Proton Extra Button from the Main Menu
  • via Command Line: steamtinkerlaunch dlcustomproton|dcp <url|{latest,l|latestge,lge|latesttkg,ltgk}> (accepting direct download URL or 'latest|l' as optional argument)

Please note that jq is required for this functionality to work.

The command line steamtinkerlaunch dcp l (or steamtinkerlaunch dcp lge) will download and extract the lastest available Proton-GE and integrate it into the list of available proton version in Steam Tinker Launch steamtinkerlaunch dcp ltkg does the same for the latest Proton TKG

With either method a download requester with a dropdown menu is opened.

Download-Custom-Proton

The menu is auto-generated, by parsing all CP_* (Custom Proton) URLs from the Url Config for proton packages. Currently, the following Custom builds are parsed (feel free to recommend one if you think something is missing)

Packages (tar.*, zip) containing a proton file will be extracted and added to the List of available Proton Builds.

By default the archives are extracted to ~/.config/steamtinkerlaunch/proton/custom, with enabled CUPROTOCOMPAT in the Global Menu they are extracted into the Steam Compatibility Tool directly.
