I am wondering how people are managing their Windows GOG games on Linux. Obviously the base game works fine on Steam Proton, but I run into trouble when I try to install DLC. If I add the addons to Steam, they can’t see the base game, as they are a separate instance/container.

Is there some way I can get around this, and run the DLC installers in the same Proton instance as the base game? Is there another solution for managing Proton that isn’t Steam, which allows this? A whole third option I haven’t thought of?

Thank you.

Please stop suggesting Heroic; I saw it the first 10 times.

    Heroic is what I use, but in the interest of adding alternatives, another GUI way to do this is to use Bottles. Create a bottle for the game, and in that bottle click Run Executable, then run the base game installer, then repeat for each DLC. It’ll even give you a shortcut.
