# MYSELF (GLORIOUSEGGROLL) AND THIS PROJECT (PROTON-GE) ARE NOT AFFILIATED WITH `hxxps[://]protonge[.]com`. THAT IS A SPAM/FAKE WEBSITE.

## (1) RUNNING NON-STEAM GAMES WITH GE-PROTON OUTSIDE OF STEAM IS ONLY SUPPORTED USING [UMU](https://github.com/Open-Wine-Components/umu-launcher):

Proton runs in a container, which uses a runtime environment and libraries specifically built for use within that container. Not running it as intended results in the container and therefore its runtime not being used, and severely breaks library compatibility. It causes wine to search for libraries on your system instead of those it was built with/intended for within proton. It may work, if enough libraries match, but it is not correct and not supportable due to library differences across distros.

If you want proton functionality -outside- of proton for non-steam games, umu-launcher is a cli tool that was designed to be able to mimic steam in running the entire containerized runtime environment it needs in order to run proton exactly as steam does without needing steam. Any other method is not supported.

[Lutris](https://lutris.net/) has already integrated UMU as the default backend used when `GE-Proton(Latest)` is selected as a wine runner either globally or for any specific game.

[Heroic](https://heroicgameslauncher.com/) has also enabled UMU by default when using `GE-Proton`.
