I saw CE finally put out a native linux build and a script to help launch the windows version of CE within the correct proton enviroment but it appears to not be able to find whatever game i launch.

ive pointed it to the correct directory for steam and to the windows executable of CE, launching it within a terminal does throw up a warning
"Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "adwaita""

but thats all im able to see

i think you used the old protonlauncher instead if the new linux binary which has a protonlauncher.lua in autorun that should be more capable of detecting the protonbinary and the compatdata

copy the contents of a cheat engine for windows install folder to the windowsbin subdirectory and it should be able to launch the windows version for you
