I have a Windows game that runs well under Proton. It also has some modding tools that are run from a command shell. I would like to play with these tools.

Is there any way to start up the Proton compatibility layer configured for a particular game, but run cmd.exe instead of the game? Is there any other way to accomplish what I want?

Thanks.

I have no experience with Linux-gaming, but... did you try to just add the .exe as a non-Steam game?

I could do that. And then tell Steam to run the game using a specific compatibility tool. This wouldn't exactly accomplish the goal though....

When Proton runs under Linux, you need to tell it where the C: drive is and all kinds of things. The Windows environment inside Proton is kind of a sort of a virtual machine (but not really, it's complicated). I was hoping to be able to run something in the exact same environment as the game ran in.

If I weren't going to do that, I'd probably set up Wine (which is what Proton is based on) and run this tool inside Wine after setting up the approriate Wine environment. I can mess with WIndows files all I want to from Linux, so after I used this tool to do its job, I could just use Linux to do the rest and then run the game again to see if it worked.

The tool is a modding tool. :-)
