My protontricks won't start

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Which distro are you running on?

I had a similar issue on Arch/Manjaro. Rebuilding protontricks and python-vdf seemed to fix it.

With yay, the following should work as a short-form:

yay -S --rebuild protontricks python-vdf

As @Tellus said, this might be related to the package requiring a rebuild if you're using an Arch or a derivative such as Manjaro. AUR Python packages such as Protontricks require a rebuild once Python itself is updated to a newer release (eg. 3.10 -> 3.11).

In case anyone else is suffering, I had this problem and paru -S --rebuild protontricks-git python-vdf didn't fix it. After much frustration I went into ~/.cache/paru/clone and renamed protontricks-git/ and python-vdf/ and this apparently forced it to reacquire everything? or something? and then it worked. Not sure if there's some paru option I was missing or what.
