box64 Protonup-qt appimage crashes with Python Error

Running on Raspberry Pi 5 with MX Linux 23.4.

Reproduce the error by following these steps

In PiApps, install Steam which will install Box86 and Box64.
Download the Appimage of Protonup-qt from its official website.
Mark the appimage as executable(either by using sudo chmod +x %filename% or by right-clicking going to properties permissions and then ticking the allow executing as a program).
Open a terminal and launch app images like you would any other Linux executable, ./%filename%.

(The reason that this app is desirable is it permits you to manage proton versions and other compatibility applications for specific steam games and in some cases even allows you to run certain games under a Linux native layer which removes a layer of compatibility that you need to run through(a welcome addition, or should I say subtraction? lol)

@FoxbitDreamtail is this still an issue with the latest Box64?

@FoxbitDreamtail is this still an issue with the latest Box64?

I havn't tried it in a long while, I will try it and get back to you.

Nov 13 '25 19:11 FoxbitDreamtail

so, I discovered a new issue but it isn't an issue with Box86/64... it has to do with ProtonUp-Qt expecting Python 3.10 and getting Python 3.11... is there a quick way to fix that?

also, kindof important info, I switched back to RpiOS and am kinda too lazy to switch back to mx linux as that would be a whole system reinstall just to test something, especially as the pi5 is(most of the time) just being used as a wifi-to-ethernet adapter that just so happens to be able to host a singleplayer Minecraft server.
