# Proton
|
||||
|
||||
[Proton](https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton) is a compatibility tool for
|
||||
[Steam](./steam.md) by its developers, [valve](https://www.valvesoftware.com),
|
||||
based on [Wine](../linux/wine.md).
|
||||
|
||||
## GE-Version
|
||||
|
||||
[Proton GE](https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom) is a community
|
||||
built version of Proton.
|
||||
It often contains fixes for bugs which are not yet included in the official
|
||||
Proton releases.
|
||||
|
||||
Proton GE can be installed on Linux systems by installing the `ProtonUp-Qt`
|
||||
application using [Flatpak](../linux/flatpak.md).

### Errors with the Wine prefix of a specific game
|
||||
|
||||
The last ressort for fixing problems that are related to the wine prefix of a
|
||||
game is to delete the Wine prefix.
|
||||
For this the id of the Steam game first has to be known.
|
||||
This is done by navigating to the Steam website or the community page of the
|
||||
specific game.
|
||||
The URLs will have one of the following forms where the game id can be read:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
http://steamcommunity.com/app/<game id>/
|
||||
http://store.steampowered.com/app/<game id>/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
After that navigate to the place your Steam games are stored.
|
||||
You can remove `<steam location>/steamapps/compatdata/<game id>` to reset the
|
||||
Wine prefix completely.
|
||||
It is recommended to keep a backup of the folder containing the old Wine prefix
|
||||
as it stores game saves and other important data, that can be useful.
