Recommendations & Notes

• Backup your proton script. It is known that Steam client likes to apply automatic patches. Have a backup of your proton script file in case the client decides to overwrite it.

• Games may not work. Games which work on Steam-bundled Proton may not work on this modified Wine/DXVK/D9VK configuration. In this case, either A) choose different Proton version for non-working game titles or B) revert proton script changes.

Original proton script version 4.2 can be downloaded from ValveSoftware/Proton - proton. This script file restores original Steam Proton original functionality for the selected Proton version.
