CAVEATS

Requires Steam and Proton. Game must have been run at least once to create prefix. Some winetricks verbs may not work with all Proton versions.

HISTORY

protontricks was created by Matoking to bridge Winetricks and Proton, addressing the common need to install Windows dependencies in Proton game prefixes.
