ProtonPlus makes managing Proton versions on Linux, SteamOS and Steam Deck simple
ProtonPlus is a useful tool for managing compatibility layers like Valve's Proton, GE-Proton and more on Linux, SteamOS and Steam Deck.
You're viewing a single thread.
I'm so lost here...
Is it not already DEAD simple?
Not super so if you wanna mess around with GE-Proton and stuff. Personally I prefer ProtonUp-Qt though. It's a terrible name, but way less flashy, which it super doesn't need to be.
I've used both and found ProtonPlus to be better for my needs. It has way more proton and wine versions available. They also added the feature for steam games to select their proton version from the client as well.
You can select the proton version for steam games in ProtonUp-Qt as well :)
You can select the proton version for steam games in steam.
Yea, for sure you can, but you have to go into each games settings one-by-one. In ProtonUp-Qt (seriously, terrible name lol) it's a list with a dropdown box next to each, the steam deck compatibility rating, and the ProtonDB rating that you can click to go straight to the page for it.
You can change the global proton setting in steam.
Yes, and? I only switch to GE-Proton on games that need it, so I leave that setting on vanilla Proton (ie unset).
Talking in fricking circles over here.
I mean,,, you're the one that said something super obvious to start with?
You said, you can select the options outside of steam smilieface.
So I mentioned you can just use steam to select it.
You replied, but then you have to change it for each game.
To which I said, you can also change it globally.
And then you said you want to change it individually.
So i have no idea what this conversations point is lol
TBH, I just use a GTK4 programme whenever I have the choice, so for me Proton+ was natural
This is akin to ProtonUp, with more compat forks available to download within the GUI.
Based on the description elsewhere in the comments, they don't sound very similar. ProtonPlus is just a download tool that lets you see and download or delete updates for all the various versions of Proton, so you don't have to visit a bunch of different Githubs. It doesn't let you see or change which version each game is using, which it sounds like ProtonUp does.
I'm not sure how ProtonUp works with native games, installed outside of Steam or Heroic for instance, but it certainly doesn't allow for per-game Proton version changes with Steam games.
EDIT: I was wrong, there's a separate list I wasn't aware of where you can change per-game versions. You can do the same thing in ProtonPlus FWIW.Where do you find that screen in ProtonPlus? I've never seen it. I wonder if I'm on an old version.
