Cheat Engine can be run on Linux through Steam using an environment variable when running commands in Proton.
Using the PROTON_REMOTE_DEBUG_CMD environment variable you can call a program while starting your command in your programs Launch Options.
For Example:
PROTON_REMOTE_DEBUG_CMD="/home/myusername/.steam/steam/steamapps/Cheat_Engine_7.5/cheatengine.exe" %command%
Because of the way proton works, some considerations need to made when declaring a path to a cheat engine executable; Notably:
- Please be aware of Spaces and escapable characters, you have to provide (mostly) windows-safe paths when calling your application.
- You must use an absolute path when calling this command.
- If cheat engine crashes (which is probable): you must restart the program to reopen cheat engine.
