  I had my first issue since switching just yesterday (I’ve been switched for a couple of months).

  I wanted to run some mod installers for the old Kotor games but they’re .exe files.

  Only stuff I could get working was manual file-replacements and steam workshop mods.

    You should be able to use those mod installers by running them with wine within the wine prefix Kotor is installed in surely?

      Not sure about wine. Haven’t used it since like 2016.

      I’m running all my games in steam with proton. Not sure if that’s connected at all.

        Proton is just wine with some extra stuff added, if you install protontricks this explains what to do.

        
        protontricks-launch --appid <APPID> <EXE>
        
        

        Should get you what you want, you can find app id by looking at the url of the game in the steam store or using

        protontricks -s <GAME NAME>
