The new Stalker game seems to be running just fine on steam if ProtonDB is anything to go by. Nevertheless, I’d prefer to purchase the game on GOG and unfortunately I have yet to see any posts anywhere about how that version runs via Lutris as an example. I don’t expect there to be any issues but it would be nice to hear from people who’ve attempted to play it that way. Cheers.

    I usually use the “add non-steam games” utility with the game’s executable and then modify the compatibility options of the added game.

    Alternatively, or perhaps even concurrently, you can have a Proton instance without having Steam installed. Dunno how it works on Lutris, but besides being able to install Proton manually, you should also be able to install a few different versions of it through Heroic too. Dunno other means for that but probably are.

      The basic tool is protonup-qt, which will lets you choose which versions of Proton and Proton-GE (and others) you want to install.

      I don’t know if Heroic lets you install new versions or just lets you choose among installed ones.
