The reason I am filing it here is because this seems to detect protonGE but doesnt seem to use it, also because this didnt occur until after I reinstalled everything
@DockterTeagle use programs.steam.protontricks.enable to install protontricks. As a rule of thumb, you want to use the option to install a program, if one exists.
