            Opening external tools in steam proton prefix
Make sure to launch the game at least once (or at least try to) to generate the wine prefix
Finding the game id
protontricks -s <name> # search for game by name
protontricks -l # list all games
Otherwise you can also grab the game id from the store page url
Launching with protontricks
protontricks-launch --appid <id> <path-to-exe>
# Example:
protontricks-launch --appid 1113000 P4G-Save-Game-Tool.exe
Launching without protontricks
export STEAM_PATH=`realpath ~/.steam/steam`
STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH="$STEAM_PATH/steamapps/compatdata/<id>" STEAM_COMPAT_CLIENT_INSTALL_PATH="$STEAM_PATH" "$STEAM_PATH/steamapps/common/Proton - Experimental/proton" run <path-to-exe>
# Example:
STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH="$STEAM_PATH/steamapps/compatdata/1113000" STEAM_COMPAT_CLIENT_INSTALL_PATH="$STEAM_PATH" "/mnt/GAMES/Steam/steamapps/common/Proton - Experimental/proton" run P4G-Savegame-Tool.exe
Note: Replace the final $STEAM_PATH as needed if you installed Proton to a different Steam Library location (see example)
