Proton Experimental is currently not working

[hideki2k02]

Hello! I've tested your script on Fedora and it works great! Unfortunately i've had to install Proton 8.0 as for some reason the Experimental Version is not being properly detected. Could you look into it?

Hello,

Sorry for the delay, thank you for the feedback. Can you send me what the command protonlaunch --proton-version-list return? Also, if possible can you send me what command youre using to start your apps?

[hideki2k02]

$ proton --proton-version-list
proton: steam installation path is '/home/japa4551/.local/share/Steam'
Proton 8.0
Proton - Experimental

Here's some additional info:
If i try to force the use of Experimental through the command the game works fine (Even if i dont have another Proton Version installed

$ proton --proton-version 'Proton - Experimental' FSD.exe
proton: steam installation path is '/home/user/.local/share/Steam'
proton: proton version 'Proton - Experimental'
proton: prefix '/home/user/.proton'
proton: Program is 'FSD.exe'

However if i try to run the standard command without having another Proton version this is what i get:

$ proton FSD.exe
proton: steam installation path is '/home/user/.local/share/Steam'
proton: error: no Proton installation found, make sure you've installed Proton trough Steam

Hello,

I've fixed the issue on commit 7aa86e3 at dev branch. Protonlaunch by default try to select a non-experimental version of proton, and this check didn't account for the user only having proton experimental. ;)

Now if the user only have one version of proton, even if its experimental protonlaunch will use that version.
