Symptoms
I want to run the game in Polish, which according to this guide https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1382260075 is preloaded in the game only to be changed via regedit. And how do I change the permissions as in tutorial point 7 to 12?
Reproduction
What should I put in this prefixpath? What is it for the steam game?
And those permissions settings or for the key? In wine I didn't see these but maybe in proton they are.
Install the "protontricks" utility. Launch it, select your game, and go to its prefix settings, where it will be possible to run "regedit" for this prefix.
But as in regedit not as I select the key (that folder on the left) I do not have the “permission” tab as in Windows. Is it possible to select it somehow? Point 7 from the tutorial “7. This time right click on the assassin's creed ii key and select Permissions...” Maybe instead of wine I need to run proton maybe it has this option in regedit. Only how?
I do not recommend trying to call regedit through the terminal with the command "WINEPREFIX="prefixpath" wine regedit", I broke the game "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge". An error occurred due to different versions of Wine. I had to remove the prefix, change the Proton compatibility version, delete the game, and then reinstall it.

I still can't do
-
this time right click on assassin's creed ii key and select Permissions....
-
click Add and in the box where you can type Everyone then press enter.
On the ubi store Assassin's Creed II supposedly does not have a Polish version, but when I want to install from lutris it allows me to select the Polish language xd.
Do this:
- Run game with
STEAM_COMPAT_LAUNCHER_SERVICE=proton %command% - Open terminal and run
<PATH TO STEAMLIBRARY>/steamapps/common/SteamLinuxRuntime_sniper/pressure-vessel/bin/steam-runtime-launch-client \
--bus-name=com.steampowered.App<PUT APPID NUMBER HERE> \
--directory='' \
-- \
bash
- You will end up in the Proton container. Now run
wine regedit
For further information please refer to the documentation https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/blob/3a269ab9966409b968c8bc8f3e68bd0d2f42aadf/docs/DEBUGGING-LINUX.md#getting-shell-inside-of-the-steam-runtime
To add to this, it is not intuitive how to run regedit using the protontricks GUI. It is easy once you've found it. However, it is very easy from CLI.
$ protontricks --search stationeers
Found the following games:
Stationeers (544550)
$ protontricks 544550 regedit
And it's sorted.
The alternative is to just run protontricks to get the GUI loaded:
Select the correct game and click [ OK ].
You might get some errors pop up ; just click [ OK ] on each of them until you get the menu:
Leave it on "Select the default wineprefix" and click [ OK ]. Then in the new window, select "Run regedit" and click [ OK ].
And there we go, you're running regedit:
