Hey folks, just curious, is it a bad idea to switch between different versions of proton-ge? How does it apply fixes related to the prefix creation on a game that already had a prefix?
I don't know about your second question, but with almost every proton-ge update I've gone into Steam and switched over to the new version with no issues so far.
Maybe that's a no-no for some games but, again, no issues so far.
EDIT: Same goes for wine-ge whenever I have games I bought through GOG and play through Lutris.
Thinking about it, using a new version of proton/wine-ge on lutris does show a setup dialog similar to the one that shows when you first run it so I would assume wine refreshes things on a new version.
