Time to VR myself into Tamriel.
Oh wow this is interesting. However im not sure if proton should be doing anything like this by default, could be useful if it was a command you could include in the launch arguments. I still rather a mod manager take control over this stuff like mod organizer or the new nexus mod app.
To be fair, this isn't normal proton doing it. In general GE-proton exists to do things that go against the design philosophy of regular proton or to include licenses libraries that can't be normally included.
I don't see any mention of it in the changelog, but I would expect there to be a launch option to disable this functionality as well.
Yeah, I could really see this be super annoying. Especially when troubleshooting or if you just want to launch the vanilla game.
Damn. Right after my Fallout New Vegas play through. This is still exciting though. It will be nice for when I decide to go back to Skyrim eventually
How would this work? As I understand it, GE is used in things like Heroic or Lutris where you typically just point it to the exe directly (unless you own Skyrim on gog, I guess?). In that case, wouldn't it be easy enough to point to the modloader exe rather than the main game exe?
Even if it could happen through steam (can GE be added to Steam?), wouldn't Steam's mandatory automatic update thing cause issues meaning you'd just launch it through your mod loader anyway.
Not sure where you got this from, but Proton, GE or not, has always been meant to be used within a Steam environment first and foremost.
If you have GE-proton installed, you can easily select it for any steam game by opening the game properties, checking "force compatibility tool", and selecting the GE-proton version you want.
The tool ProtonUp-qt will also let change the setting per game as long as steam is closed. Just open "game list" and set the proton version per game.
If you install ge proton, on steam when you open compatibly options you can choose any version of ge you have installed. I use it all the time. I use proton up qt from the discovery store to manage ge proton versions.
