Thanks for this fantastic guide, everything works perfectly!

The one thing I would suggest is adding a line about installing TFAR/ACRE's plugins as it took me a little bit of digging to find the correct folder.

It could read "Once Teamspeak is ready to go you can install plugins by adding the relevant dll to /home//.steam/root/steamapps/compatdata/107410/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Application Data/TS3Client/plugins"

TS just crashes not long after I start it. It was working ok (script version 15) until I was trying to get Battleye to work and reinstalled Arma/changed Proton versions.

TS is crashing on Proton 6.3 and Experimental, using script version 16

1. Configuring config
2. run ./Arma3Helper.sh install

I have steam on one drive, proton on another and arma on a third one. Your script assumes all are installed in the default steam location

Hello,

when teamspeak is already running steam will not let you launch Arma3 because its already "running". It would be great to have option launch arma3 with this script same way as we do with teamspeak.

The script assumes that Proton is always installed in the .local/share/Steam library.

I had mine installed in a different library and had to change the line that set PROTONEXEC to point to the right path.

However, after changing the line to:
PROTONEXEC="/media/storage/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Proton\ $PROTON_OFFICIAL_VERSION/proton"

I get the following error when trying the install:

./Arma3TS_1v14-3.sh install Downloads/TeamSpeak3-Client-win64-3.5.6.exe

This is the debug output:

I just thought I'd create an issue pointing out that the config file doesn't seem to be working properly, and that the values have to be set directly in the script itself.

In my case, this was the error message I kept getting last week when I tried to change the config file. However, when I explicitly set the same values inside Arma3Helper.sh, the installation worked fine.

Hi.

I use Proton GE usually on my Windows games. Can I use this script to make that work too? I did try to read the code but.. Well All I saw that there is no reference to this directory .steam/debian-installation/compatibilitytools.d

I quest my real question is, why does this script care about the version that Arma is run under.

sic, the script dumps me down from solid 40+ fps to 20, doesn't function with the newest version of proton, experimental or 8.0, and is getting quite irritating to have to deal with in general, updates please?

Weird Folder Name: Proton - Experimental

Hi, since the version change to support experimental versions the script is unable to find the Proton 6.3 folder because the whitespace character isn't escaped in https://github.com/ninelore/armaonlinux/blob/master/Arma3TS_1v16-0.sh#L18.

sh: line 1: /home/<user>/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Proton: No such file or directory

Escaping the whitespace like PROTON_OFFICIAL_VERSION="Proton\ 6.3" solves the issue for me.
