I am wondering how people are managing their Windows GOG games on Linux. Obviously the base game works fine on Steam Proton, but I run into trouble when I try to install DLC. If I add the addons to Steam, they can't see the base game, as they are a separate instance/container.

Is there some way I can get around this, and run the DLC installers in the same Proton instance as the base game? Is there another solution for managing Proton that isn't Steam, which allows this? A whole third option I haven't thought of?

Thank you.

Please stop suggesting Heroic; I saw it the first 10 times.

Install Heroic.

Log into your gog account in Heroic.

In the Heroic wine manager, check that GE-proton is installed.

Install Stellaris. By default it should install any DLC you have too.

You know this is a piracy forum, yeah? If I owned it, I'd just install the native linux version.

You can run pirated games in Heroic.

I see that now. I’m not browsing piracy only so half the posts I see are general Linux gaming questions along the lines of yours.
