fixed [S_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed; no appID found. from being reported when running non-steam games

non-steam games will now run using wine inside proton rather than calling steam.exe with wine then the game inside steam -- this goes alongside the API failure fix

please don't use the code formatting for non-code things. it's a pain to read on mobile because the lines don't wrap, so you have to scroll horizontally back and forth when reading long lines.

Sorry about that. I’ve fixed the formatting as best as I can.

you could use bullet points:

now using ULWGL-protonfixes
can now call the winetricks gui using util.protontricks(‘gui’)
winetricks now performs an internet check before attempting any downloads
fixed long standing issue with protontricks not being able to install dotnet4* using anything newer than proton 5. works now and no longer requires proton 5.

Can’t seem to work that out on mobile

There are two ways of doing doing bullet points (unordered lists) in markdown:

- now using ULWGL-protonfixes
- can now call the winetricks gui using `util.protontricks(‘gui’)`
- winetricks now performs an internet check before attempting any downloads
[…]
* protonfixes added for Alien Breed: Impact
* protonfixes added for Alien Breed 2: Assault
* protonfixes added for Alien Breed 3: Descent
* protonfixes added for Black Desert Online `NOSTEAM=1` option. Launch game like `NOSTEAM=1 %command%` to launch non-steam standalone version.

It also supports ordered lists:

1. fixed `[S_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init()` failed; no appID found. from being reported when running non-steam games
2. non-steam games will now run using wine inside proton rather than calling steam.exe with wine then the game inside steam -- this goes alongside the API failure fix
3. controller axis patch added from 8-27 has been removed as it is now properly upstreamed

I wonder how GE figures out all those protonfixes. Like from what I've seen, Catherine Classic's cutscene issues have been a thing for years now, but he just goes "protonfix go lmao" and fixes it in one go.

So there is no need to run Assetto Corsa with Proton 5 before GE? That's awesome.
