works on proton, if u want native, you gotta do it yourself
[...] or B. just use proton
The actual Proton version of the Steam listing tied to the S&box Editor is also broken and you cannot even use Proton to launch it because it comes up with a missing sbox-dev.exe error. You have to use Winetricks to launch sbox-dev.exe from the sbox folder instead. I tried doing a symlink but it didn't work for me initially, although that might have been before I figured out how to install .NET 10.0 Desktop to the Proton/Wine prefix.
I'll try experimenting with the symlink method later today when I'm back in front of my PC, but if anyone is feeling adventurous (not my fault if you break your system) you can try doing the following at your own risk:
# Install .NET 10.0 Desktop to S&Box Editor using winetricks (check tuts or ask AI to help)
winetricks --gui
# Symlink the .exe files themselves (theoretically safer):
ln -s /path/to/steamapps/common/sbox/sbox-dev.exe "/path/to/steamapps/common/sbox 2129370/sbox-dev.exe"
# Or make a new symlink from the S&box Editor folder to the S&box Game folder
# (might break shit, haven't tested this command, run at your own risk):
ln -s /path/to/steamapps/common/sbox "/path/to/steamapps/common/sbox 2129370"
If anything breaks, just delete the symlinks, verify integrity and redownload. I'll update this when I get a chance.
