Does not work with flatpak Steam about protontricks HOT 7 OPEN

You can run protontricks from within the Steam flatpak with no modifications by installing it and winetricks and setting up an alias.

flatpak run --command=bash com.valvesoftware.Steam
mkdir bin
cd bin
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks -o winetricks
chmod +x winetricks
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Sirmentio/protontricks/master/protontricks -o protontricks
chmod +x protontricks
exit
alias protontricks="flatpak run --command=$HOME/bin/protontricks --env=WINETRICKS=$HOME/bin/winetricks com.valvesoftware.Steam"

from protontricks.

I've written preliminary instructions on how to get the forked version of protontricks working with the Flatpak version of Steam here. Testing would be appreciated!

I have only tested it briefly, but there are some limitations compared to a normal Steam installation. For example, Winetricks verbs like xact don't work since they require cabextract, which can't be easily installed due to the sandboxed environment lacking a package manager.

The current Debian stable does not properly run steam...

Debian 9 'stretch' x86_64 user here.
I have installed "steam:i386" package from official Debian stable repository and it is working fine.
There is a possibility you don't have necessary dependencies installed for Steam to work, like graphic driver libraries for i386 architecture.

You can also use official Steam deb package from Valve's repository from http://repo.steampowered.com/, but using the one from Debian distribution is recommended.

It would be nice if the above instructions can be added to the README.md or to the wiki. Thank you for sharing that @BoltsJ

@BoltsJ Nothing happend when i used
alias protontricks="flatpak run --command=$HOME/bin/protontricks --env=WINETRICKS=$HOME/bin/winetricks com.valvesoftware.Steam"

from protontricks.

@BoltsJ I put in different directory, run with that command
flatpak run --command=$HOME/data/Steam/steamapps/common/"Proton 3.16"/dist/bin/winetricks --env=WINETRICKS=$HOME/data/Steam/steamapps/common/"Proton 3.16"/dist/bin/winetricks com.valvesoftware.Steam gui
