Description

So what I want to do is to launch a mod for a steam windows game.
The mod itself is in the proton prefix in which the game is located.
I want to open that mod with the normal wine prefix.
My question is,if I open that mod in the wine prefix,would it work or would I have to open the mod in the steam prefix? (if I have to open it in the steam prefix,how can I do that?)
