Seems like the proton_dist.tar.gz is expected in compatibilitytools.d/proton-localbuild/, but is not created.

Current workaround is to create it by yourself:
In ~/proton/mybuild/dist/dist

tar -cvzf \
  ~/.local/share/Steam/compatibilitytools.d/proton-localbuild/proton_dist.tar.gz .

In theory this shouldn't be needed, since it should provide a dist/ folder with everything already unpacked. However this path isn't very well tested, so there could be a problem with it. What error were you seeing when no tarball is present?

I was unable to start Proton, and there were some errors from python somewhere in /tmp/dumps/ folder.

But currently I can't reproduce it, so I'll close that ticket for now.

Nothing extracted yet.
