Non-Steam Games with spaces in path name won't lauch #2964

I'm trying to launch non steam games via proton, but any game that contains a space in the path name refuses to even launch.

  • Target: "/media/MY_USER_NAME/Linux/Games/PC/Gog/The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt/bin/x64/witcher3.exe"
  • Start in: "/media/MY_USER_NAME/Linux/Games/PC/Gog/The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt/bin/x64/"
  • Also tried target: "witcher3.exe"
  • Also tried adding \ characters such as: "/media/MY_USER_NAME/Linux/Games/PC/Gog/The\ Witcher\ 3\ Wild\ Hunt/bin/x64/" to no avail.

What am I doing wrong? I don't think removing the spaces in the path name is a good idea, as what if there are spaces in the games subfolders? Doing this does get games to launch though...

Info:

  • proton v4.11-1
  • Running on an ext-4 partition.
  • uname -a:
