Proton KillSwitch

360900 edited this page Aug 2, 2026 · 2 revisions

When starting a Proton game tinkergame automatically generates a Kill-Switch script (under /dev/shm/tinkergame/KillSwitch) which stops the started Proton game immediately by stopping its wineserver. This works very well and closes all game processes reliably.

The script can be called from anywhere (for example, I have it on my Steam Deck), but it is also available as Kill Proton Game menu entry in the Tray-Icon.
