EA App, GoG and Epic (lemm.ee)

I’ve got Steam pretty dialed and working great. EA App is also decent but not sure I like Lutris that much. Got Epic and GoG set up on Heroic, but other than a few modern ones, games from either don’t run that good. If I understand correctly this is cause they’re using Wine and not Proton.(?)

Would adding these games to Steam using the third party games function effectively make them use Proton like they’re steam games?(I find conflicting information regarding this) Or is there a way for Lutris and/or Heroic to just use Proton out of the box?

Running Nobara KDE.

Edit: Got Fomo, installing Fedora 42 right now. Testing out Bottles!

Adding non-Steam games has never worked well for me.

Another issue is that there is a database of tweaks Proton uses to make games work better, but I don’t think it uses it for non-Steam games.

Heroic with umu do use these tweaks.
