Features

Based on the version of WINE from Valve (Proton) and its modifications (Proton GE). Includes a set of scripts combined with wine-proton itself, a Steam Runtime Sniper container with the addition of ported mangoHud (output useful information over the game window: FPS, frametime, CPU, GPU, etc.), vkBasalt (improvement of graphics in games, great alongside FSR or DLSS) versions, and many already configured optimizations for maximum performance.
Implemented one-click auto-installation (in the AUTOINSTALL tab) of popular launchers such as WGC, Epic Games, Battle.net, Origin, EVE Online, Rockstar, Ubisoft Connect, League of Legends, and many others.
For fans of console games, there are many console emulators to choose from (in the EMULATORS tab): PPSSPP, Citra, Cemu, ePSXe, MAME, and many others.

PLEASE DON'T REPORT BUGS ENCOUNTERED WITH THIS AT WINEHQ OR VALVE SOFTWARE!

Dependencies

NVIDIA graphics card users

If you have a video card from NVIDIA and a proprietary driver is installed, then you need to check if lib32-nvidia-utils is installed (32-bit games don't work without it)

Ubuntu / Linux Mint / Pop!_OS

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

sudo add-apt-repository multiverse

sudo apt update

sudo apt upgrade

sudo apt install curl file libc6 libnss3 policykit-1 xz-utils bubblewrap curl icoutils tar libvulkan1 libvulkan1:i386  zstd cabextract xdg-utils openssl libgl libgl1:i386

Arch Linux / Manjaro

First check if the multilib repository is enabled

/etc/pacman.conf
