Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog.

1.12.0 - 2024-09-16

Added

  • --cwd-app flag to set working directory to the game's installation directory
  • Add support for Snap Steam installations

Changed

  • protontricks -c and protontricks-launch now use the current working directory instead of the game's installation directory. --cwd-app can be used to restore old behavior. Scripts can also $STEAM_APP_PATH environment variable to determine the game's installation directory; this has been supported (albeit undocumented) since 1.8.0.
  • protontricks will now launch GUI if no arguments were provided

Fixed

  • Fix crash when parsing appinfo.vdf V29 in new Steam client version
  • Fix Protontricks crash when config.vdf contains invalid Unicode characters

Important

This release bundles a patched version of vdf in case the system Python package doesn't have the required appinfo.vdf V29 support. If you're a package maintainer, you will probably want to remove the corresponding commit if the distro you're using already ships a version of vdf with the required support.
