Unable to add custom wine prefix for proton experimental. (self.lutris)

I'm currently trying to get BeamMP (Multiplayer mod for BeamNG.drive) running on Linux Mint through Lutris following this guide, but I am stuck at this part:

Option for the starter

Wineversion: Proton - Experimental

I set Wine version (under "Runner Options") to custom and then set Custom wine executable to "/home/bob/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton - Experimental" Did I do it right? I press launch on the game in Lutris and then the launch button changes to "Launching..." but never actually does anything. To be clear, the only two options under Wine Version are Wine and Custom. This is also my first time using Lutris, so i don't have a great idea of what i'm doing. If there's a better place on Lemmy to ask this question, please let me know. I'm going to try posting this on the Lutris forums later as well.

I think that Lutris should have "Proton - Experimental" option in Wine versions, instead of needing setting up a Custom executable. You might need to install some package.
But if I'm mistaken, I guess the Custom executable should lead to a binary, not a directory. Search in home/bob/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton - Experimental/bin for something like wine or proton

And btw, I think you are mixing two things: wine prefix is directory with a fake directory structure that resembles Windows. Preferably it should be created when installing the application, so setup creates directories in Program Files, registry, etc
