Describe the bug

  1. install protontricks from AUR
  2. open the gui of protontricks
  3. select the game
  4. you will probably see 2times:image
  5. after that:image
  6. and the last warning:image
  7. you select the wineprefix
  8. you select "Install a Windows DLL or component"
  9. in my case i want to download "vrcrun2022" so i select it
  10. you will probably see image
  11. you see: image
  12. you select "yes"
  13. i see that as it's already installed: image
  14. i click "repair"
  15. you will see that it's installed successfully
  16. and you will see: image

The first two are Winetricks related issues.

  • "Unknown file arch 65" is being tracked at Winetricks/winetricks#2183. The warnings can be safely skipped and they don't affect functionality besides the popups being annoying.
  • SHA256 mismatches happen occasionally when Microsoft updates their binaries. Winetricks updates the SHA256 sums every now and then to match the upstream binary but this is a moving target. You might have better luck if you forego the Arch packaging of Winetricks and install the latest development version using instructions here.

As for the path being at ~/.local/share/wineprefixes instead of at the Steam game's compatdata directory, can you try launching it using protontricks -vv <appid> -v --gui instead and posting the output to gist.github.com? Replace <appid> with the app ID of the game that has the issue; you can see the app ID in the game selection dialog. This should hopefully give a better idea of what's happening.

This is so annoying. Especially when installing multiple components... Please fix this. It doesn't do anything and the error is practically useless.
