I was curious and installed it and a small game. It uses Proton GE. But for the life of me I cannot find where it stores the actual game. Supposedly it should write to ~/Games but it’s not in there. Searching for the executable doesn’t yield anything either. But it still works.
Edit: No idea what witchcraft this is. When the game is running ps shows that Proton is running an executable located in ~/Games but nothing is there.
Edit 2: The sloppers didn’t give the flatpak permission to write to the Games folder. Interesting that the game still didn’t show up anywhere. Guess flatpak stored the files in memory.
I think. I don’t have any other explanation. It couldn’t launch the game after restarting the app. Must be a Flatpak thing. After I gave it permission to write to the correct folder it stored the game files there.
The game was only 300 MB so it is plausible to store it in RAM. I could test it out with a larger game but I can’t be bothered atm.
See I always liked to play the where did I put that game in lutris. Where I would install the game, use the launch button during install and then 6 weeks later go to play again and it won’t launch because I never mapped the gamestart.exe file, and for some odd reason many of them aren’t in the install location.
I still don’t know why it makes 2 folders, I looked it up awhile back and it said something like “because that’s how it do” and I was like, k.

Does the game exist anywhere in the flatpak folder of the app?
I didn’t find it. I searched my whole drive for the executable and its folder.
Wait what? So it ran the game from RAM?
