Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

After first downloading CS2 and launching it with Proton Experimental, I closed the game and downloaded the CS2 Workshop Tools. I launched the game and never got the prompt to load into either the game or the tools. I've tried re-installing a couple of times with different variations and running it in Proton Experimental and then downloading the tools worked for me, it could of been a coincidence but that's what worked.

tldr: without proton you don't get the Launch Option Prompt.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

(Not entirely sure what causes the issue but I will write what I think caused it.)

  1. Run base game with Proton Experimental
  2. Download CS2 Workshop Tools, whilst still using Proton Experimental for CS2 specifically.
  3. No launch option prompt.

How I fixed it:

  1. Turn off Proton Experimental (I turned it off for specifically CS2)
  2. Uninstall Workshop Tools.
  3. Turn on Proton Experimental (specifically for CS2 using Properties -> Compatibility)
  4. Install Workshop Tools.
  5. Run the game.
    It could be coincidental but that's what worked.
