Interesting… thanks for this. I’ll need to look into protondb more; had not heard of it prior to this.

I was a part of the pre-EA access group for Pantheon so my game isn’t a part of Steam. Is this a Steam specific thing?

Proton is certainly "cleaner" to use with Steam, but you don't have to use Steam to use proton. I'd recommend adding the executable to Steam as a non-Steam game for simplicity. Otherwise you can use Lutris or find a tutorial online to run that specific executable with proton outside of Steam
