Standalone-Proton

steamtinkerlaunch has the option to start any windows exe easily using a customizable proton in its own [Compatdata](https://github.com/frostworx/steamtinkerlaunch/wiki/Compatdata) and Wineprefix without steam!

This feature is available via Command Line line and offers both a "direct start" and a gui mode: steamtinkerlaunch proton|p <title> <X> Start and/or create <title> with proton without using steam. Optional opens gui

Examples:

steamtinkerlaunch p Opens directly the gui

steamtinkerlaunch p gametitle If the steamtinkerlaunch config file gametitle already exists the game in this config is started directly silently using the proton version, Compatdata and command line arguments from the same config. If it doesn't exists yet the gui is opened using gametitle as game title

steamtinkerlaunch p gametitle X If appending any additional parameter (so here 'X') the gui opens in any case. If the steamtinkerlaunch config file gametitle does already exists the values are autofilled in the gui with the stored values.

steamtinkerlaunch p list Simply lists all found gametitles found

#Standalone-Gui

Using the gui a new game can be configured, an existing one can be changed or loaded and the game can be directly started.

StandaloneProtonGame

The gui has the following options for this:

  • Game Title The game title used internally to start the game later with its own config file. The field is a editable dropdown field, so new ones can be typed in and already existing ones can be selected. When selecting an existing one, the config should be loaded with the LOAD button on the bottom to update the values

  • Proton Version A dropdown version of all available proton versions found (both official steam proton and custom protons) Downloading and adding a custom proton is always simple by using the Download Custom Proton function

  • Proton compatdata Here the compatdata dir can be defined. By default one is autocreated and used, so this is optional

  • Game Exe The game executable can be easily selected via file requester here

  • Game command line parameter Optional game command line parameters for above exe

  • Run Game A checkbox. If unchecked the changes made are simply saved into the config without actually starting the game when pressing RUN
