CE does not appear to have access to other processes memory when running in wine/proton. I can attach to the desired process, but all searches return 0 results. If attached to itself searches work as expected though. My first guess was CE needs to be run "as admin" however from what I could find out everything run in wine/proton has admin privileges. If anyone knows what I am doing wrong I would appreciate the help. For what it's worth I installed CE via `protontricks-launch --appid <id> <path to CE installer>` and run CE via `protontricks-launch --appid <id> <path to cheatengine-x86_64.exe>`.

may be an issue with your protontricks launcher

CE needs to run in the exact same proton version in the same appid for it to see it

That does seem to be the issue. While protontricks uses the same prefix and possibly related in other ways because they do interact, something is not quite right.

What does seem to work is:
STEAM_COMPAT_CLIENT_INSTALL_PATH=~/.steam/ STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH=~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/1668540/ WINEPREFIX=~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/1668540/pfx ~/.steam/root/steamapps/common/Proton\ -\ Experimental/proton run ./drive_c/Program\ Files/Cheat\ Engine\ 7.5/cheatengine-x86_64.exe

1668540 is the appid for the game so it among other parts will be unique to other situations. The general idea, at least for now, is working though.
