Not working about steam-play-none HOT 3 CLOSED

Huh interesting. If you switch between Proton and None, it should re-download the game. If it doesn't do that you could try manually uninstalling it

from steam-play-none.

It does re-download the game automatically, but Steam cannot open it. It just shows the Steam loading spinner until I force close it.

Update: just uninstalled, set it to None, re-download. Still won't run. I wonder if there was an OS update that broke it recently, I know the game hasn't been updated in a little while, so that wouldn't be the problem.

I gave it another look and figured it out. For any idiot that can't get it to work (even though None is selected), do the following.

1. Set game compatibility mode to Linux Runtime.
2. In desktop mode, make sure the downloaded folder sits in /home/deck/.local/share/Steam/compatibilitytools.d/
   If the Steam-Play-None folder doesn't exist inside of there (and instead just its contents), you did it wrong. The path goes /home/deck/.local/share/Steam/compatibilitytools.d/Steam-Play-None and then the folder contents. "None" will show up in the compatibility list if you did it wrong, which was my issue.
3. Go into Game mode. Switch compatibility mode to "None".
4. Play the game.
