Hello! I’ve tried a bunch of games but they’re just not able to start on proton/wine/GE proton version 8 and up. If I switch back to proton 7 they’re working fine. Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone have a solution. Also softwares that don’t require GPU work fine too with version 8.

    No, I’m using bottles. And the proton 8 versions haven’t been running from the very beginning. I’ve tried a lot of things but nothing’s worked. Also tried it in Heroic launcher but soon as I check the dedicated GPU option proton silent crashes without even starting.

      OK but what I mean is, are you running Steam games with it? Because Proton is only meant to be used with Steam games, and GloriousEggroll has been going blue in the face over the years warning people about it. GE-Proton expects certain stuff that’s only present in Steam games. It will probably work 9 times out of 10 with non-Steam games but it’s not a given.

      If they’re not Steam games you want Wine-GE instead of GE-Proton, it has the same stuff that GE puts in their version of Proton. If you use ProtonUp-Qt it will let you very easily manage GE runners for Steam, Lutris and Bottles.

        Proton Ge 7 and below work just fine so idk why it shouldn’t and none of the wine variants 8 and up are working, I’ve tried all of the available ones in bottles. I’ve tried in Heroic launcher too. I’ll try using protonUP. Thanks for the advice!
