Description EpicTux123 2025-08-02 17:55:42 UTC
When using Protontricks and opening a Proton prefix for a Steam game, I always have to pass 4 warnings before getting the actual dialog.



$ protontricks

In regards to the Unknown file arch errors, I reported it to the upstream package on Flathub and it was fixed with a simple update.

See:

- https://github.com/Matoking/protontricks/issues/396
- https://github.com/flathub/com.github.Matoking.protontricks/commit/eba504f0f441217ac0095f3baabbe9c1b59e5bb9



In regards to the 64-bit wineprefix warning and the Wow64 type warning, it seems an update has also fixed them. See https://github.com/Matoking/protontricks/issues/383.




Probably the solution to everything of this issue is just to update the Winetricks commit,

CTRL+F in https://github.com/flathub/com.github.Matoking.protontricks/blob/master/com.github.Matoking.protontricks.yml and search for "commit".

Thanks for your attention.






Also, I have one question:

In https://github.com/flathub/com.github.Matoking.protontricks/blob/master/com.github.Matoking.protontricks.yml there is a lot of env. vars. set for the Flatpak app (the other settings don't matter since we are not in a sandbox). Should such env. vars. also be applied to the RPM package of protontricks to be consistent in what the Steam client itself also uses? Thanks!

Reproducible: Always
