The easiest way to deal with these installer is to use Protontricks, where you can follow the guide
|
||||
[here](msfs/protontricks) on how to use it.
|
||||
|
||||
## Updating Proton
|
||||
|
||||
<Steps>
|
||||
|
||||
### Deactivating Addons
|
||||
|
||||
First, make sure to deactivate all of your addons that you have installed if these need to be done manually before
|
||||
being uninstalled.
|
||||
|
||||
Once this is done, up the uninstaller to uninstall all your addons, as you will need to reinstall them after Proton has
|
||||
been updated. This can be done by running this command in the terminal:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell copy
|
||||
protontricks -c "wine uninstaller" 1250410
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Backup Flight Simulator compdata
|
||||
|
||||
Find the `compdata` folder for Flight Simulator (`1250410`) and rename and add `bak` to the folder name, this will look
|
||||
like `1250410.bak`. The `compdata` folder can be found by right-clicking Flight Simulator on Steam -> Manage -> Browse
|
||||
local files, then go up two directories, and you should see `compdata` there.
|
||||
|
||||
### Update Proton Version
|
||||
|
||||
In Steam, right-click on Flight Simulator -> Properties -> Compatability, then change the version of Proton to your own
|
||||
choice.
|
||||
|
||||
Run the game, and you can just close the game once you see the login screen.
|
||||
|
||||
### Move old files to new version
|
||||
|
||||
In your compdata folder, move the folder for Flight Simulator in AppData the backup you made earlier, to the new folder
|
||||
that was created.
|
||||
|
||||
This can be done with one command (edit the directory to your `compdata` if it's not the same)
|
||||
|
||||
```shell copy
|
||||
mv ~/.steam/root/steamapps/compatdata/1250410.bak/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft\ Flight\ Simulator/ ~/.steam/root/steamapps/compatdata/1250410/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft\ Flight\ Simulator/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You should now be able to run Flight Simulator without needing to download the entire game again. You will have to
|
||||
install all of your addons that you uninstalled earlier again though.
|
||||
