This video covers how to install and run GloriousEggroll's ProtonGE, a custom Proton build that includes several game, video and audio fixes not found in Valve's official Proton builds.

Step 1. Installation.

https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/releases

Download the latest release and extract to .steam/root/compatibilitytools.d

You will need to create the compatibilitytools.d folder.

Then restart Steam.

Step 2. Using Proton-GE.

Right click on a game, navigate to Properties / COMPATIBILITY and tick "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool" option.

This will open a drop-down menu with all installed Proton builds, Proton-GE should be on the list, so select it.

If the build does not appear on the list, then copy the extracted Proton-GE folder instead to .steam/steam/compatibilitytools.d

Restart Steam, and now the build should be listed.
