If you want this guide to work on the deck, for easiness of following the guide, make your filesystem temporally writable
and install protontricks regularly.

This is really an update for the guide found here https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/148#issuecomment-585921635

We will be using Proton 5.0-10 the only proton version that works good for assetto.

Before starting, make sure you have no pfx folder for assetto corsa, you can search for it in:
/path/to/your/SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/244210

If there is a pfx folder, delete it completely before starting the guide.

1. Set in Assetto Corsa Properties in Steam to force the use of a compatibility tool to Proton 5.0-10
2. Start the game and let it crash

-Execute in a terminal as a user the commands preceded with $-

3. $ protontricks -c "wine uninstaller" 244210
  3.1. From the list Remove "Wine Mono Windows Support"
4. Download https://download.microsoft.com/download/9/5/A/95A9616B-7A37-4AF6-BC36-D6EA96C8DAAE/dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe
  4.1. Use 'cd' command to navigate to the folder containing the file downloaded
5. $ protontricks --no-background-wineserver 244210 winxp
6. $ protontricks --no-background-wineserver 244210 shell
7. $ cd -
This last command is to navigate back to the folder where you were and so containing the file
8. $ wine dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe /q

-This step will take a good while-

9. $ exit

10. Download https://web.archive.org/web/20210816191501if_/https://download.microsoft.com/download/9/E/6/9E63300C-0941-4B45-A0EC-0008F96DD480/NDP471-KB4033342-x86-x64-AllOS-ENU.exe
  10.1 Use 'cd' command to navigate to the folder containing the file downloaded if saved in a different folder than on step 4.
11. $ protontricks --no-background-wineserver 244210 win7
1w. $ protontricks --no-background-wineserver 244210 mscoree=native
13. $ protontricks --no-background-wineserver 244210 shell
14. $ cd -
15. $ wine NDP471-KB4033342-x86-x64-AllOS-ENU.exe /q

-This step will take a good while-

16. $ exit
17. $ protontricks --no-background-wineserver 244210 -q vcrun2015
18. $ protontricks --no-background-wineserver 244210 -q d3dcompiler_47
19. $ protontricks --no-background-wineserver 244210 win10

Now you have a good prefix for the game. But we are not finished yet as we need now to link the loginvdf file for CM.

20. $ mkdir /path/to/your/SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/244210/pfx/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Steam/config
21. $ ln -s $HOME/.steam/root/config/loginusers.vdf /path/to/your/SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/244210/pfx/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Steam/config/loginusers.vdf

Now the Content manager part of the guide

22. Download Content Manager from https://assettocorsa.club/content-manager.html
23. Extract the .exe to assetto's game folder and rename the file to:
  Content Manager Safe.exe

Now prepare the launch command for the game in Assetto Corsa's properties

24. Set assetto's steam launch parammeters to:
/path/to/your/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/'Proton 5.0'/proton waitforexitandrun /path/to/your/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/assettocorsa/'Content Manager Safe.exe'; echo %command%

If you have installed assetto's in a hidden folder (as is the case in the default install location but not for a sd install or
other locations) you will need to execute the 24.1 command to get the path to copy it when CM asks you for the installation folder
of assetto

  24.1 $ echo 'Z:\home\'$USER'\.steam\root\steamapps\common\assettocorsa'

25. Launch the game, if you are on the Deck, do it in the desktop mode for now.

It may take a while to launch, just let it be.

26. Search for the installation folder or paste the result of the step 24.1

-You will notice that detects your steam account automagically-

27. Set your player name and press accept
28. Close the launcher

Let's install CSP

29. $ protontricks -c winecfg 244210

30. In 'Libraries' tab, add a new override with text:
  dwrite
31. Press Add and set it to native, built-in (it is the default option)
32. Press OK to close the window

-At this step you can make a backup of the 'pfx' folder in case you try things and break it not to make the whole process again.-

Renember: Changing and launching the game with different Proton versions effectivelly breaks the pfx, so to go back you need to delete
the pfx folder and restore the backup.

There is a TLS/SSL problem with latest CM versions and so the launcher can't connect to web servers (online races work just fine), thus
we need to manually install Custom Shaders Patch and the other mods that you want.

33. Download from https://acstuff.ru/patch/ The very latest version .zip file
34. Extract the contents of the .zip inthe root folder of the game,
    so dwrite.dll and extension folder are in the same folder as Custom Manager Safe.exe
35. Enjoy the game
