Loved using this utility when I was on windows and am sorely missing it now on Linux especially after game updates / file verifications will nuke the manually replaced DLL files.

Hopefully some info here can help.

Steam uses essentially the same folder structure as it does in windows for games installed via steamplay to be run under proton.

The directories for each library folder to the game are LIBRARY/steamapps/common/GAMENAME

Under GAMENAME they will have the same structure as in windows

The library directories can be extracted from:

$HOME/.local/share/Steam/config/libraryfolders.vdf

I've copied the formatting of that file:

"libraryfolders"
{
"0"
{
"path" "/var/home/username/.local/share/LIBRARY1"
"label" "LIBRARY1"
"contentid" "0"
"totalsize" "0"
"update_clean_bytes_tally" "0"
"time_last_update_verified" "0"
"apps"
{
"0" "0"
}
}
"1"
{
"path" "/var/mnt/games/LIBRARY2"
"label" "LIBRARY2"
"contentid" "0"
"totalsize" "0"
"update_clean_bytes_tally" "0"
"time_last_update_verified" "0"
"apps"
{
"0" "0"
}
}
}

Hopefully this helps with getting a version working for steam! I personally do not use Lutris or some other launchers so someone else will have to chime in for that. I think you'll get the majority of users via steam.

I will suggest releasing as either an AppImage or Flatpak if possible as it would package all dependencies with it and should in theory work with every distro!

Uh oh!
