Reason for this meme is that some ubisoft titles are shipped with a broken version of ubisoft connect launcher. Installing these games is only possible by running the installer for the launcher again via protontricks.

This used to be possible, but isn't anymore. Source: the author of lutris

His version works though. I use Lutris for everything that isn't on steam or is a windows program, and it works great.

Huh? That's quite interesting.

I've been running a hacked-together script which uses a disembodied copy of Proton 8 (aka. copied to a portable drive, doesn't need to have Steam installed to run) to launch my games from Itch and GoG.

Hmm, just tried to use Proton 9.0-2 and the current experimental in my steamapps (which appears to be version 9.0-202), and it works just fine. Though, I guess Lutris' implementations are quite a bit more advanced than my hacks (no debugging let's goooo).

A very simplified version of my script, for those who might be interested: pastebin.com/kbNNvzAx. Don't forget to uncomment game_exe and set it to your executable - won't work otherwise.

Also, pinging @DacoTaco@lemmy.world in case of interest.
