[Bug]: Proton game instances on Linux

[aguimorefran]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Operating System

Ubuntu

CKAN Version

1.34.4

Games

KSP 1

Game Version

1.12.5 Steam

Did you make any manual changes to your game folder (i.e., not via CKAN)?

No response

Describe the bug

CKAN game instance suddenly deleted when I could previously add it (it was working).
Then, it is impossible to add a new instance.

Steps to reproduce

• CKAN UI

• Automatically opens Manage Game Instances

• New game instance > Add instance to CKAN

• Paste /.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Kerbal Space Program

• Click Open

• Window gets closed

• Manage game instances shows again

• If trying to navigate to the source folder, clicking Show hidden files

• Nothing shows, plus window closes again after clicking Open

This happens with both .deb and apt installs.

Hi @aguimorefran, thanks for the report. The Linux version of CKAN currently looks for the Linux native binary KSP.x86_64, not the Windows binary KSP_x64.exe. It will check for both in the next release, but in the time being you can work around this by creating a file called KSP.x86_64 in your KSP dir.
