Feature Request

I confirm:

  • [X] that I haven't found another request for this feature.
  • [X] that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available that
    contain this feature already.

Description

Allow us to play Windows only Half-Life mods with Proton.

Justification [optional]

There are many older mods that simply do not have Linux binaries, this will allow us to play older mods without having to install Steam on a separate Wine prefix. Since Steam already ships libraries for all platforms with Half-Life, it might be feasible to detect whenever the mod doesn't contain the gamedll_linux line in its liblist.gam file to run under Proton.

Risks [optional]

The only risk is I can see it's VAC with multiplayer mods, but Proton has proven to be VAC secure.

Hello @LucesEnBabel, this is a feature request for the steam client rather than Proton itself. Between https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/5638, https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/5766, and https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/5677 this request is already covered.

Closing in favor of the existing feature requests.
