Protontricks fails with warning: Unknown file arch of /home/$USER/.cache/protontricks/proton/GE-Proton9-1/bin/wineserver. about protontricks HOT 5 OPEN

Figured out what's the problem: the Debian version of Winetricks includes an additional patch that's based on an old version of the pull request Winetricks/winetricks#2189. It's the 13_winetricks_get_file_arch__try_workaround_for_scripts_if_arch_is_unknown.patch file included in the Debian source files here.

This patch also changes the "Unknown file arch" message from a dismissable warning to an error that halts execution.

One option to workaround this might be to uninstall the distro version of Winetricks and install the upstream version using the instructions here:

from protontricks.

also occurs when running protontricks --gui or similar on any game

The "unknown file arch" warning is an upstream issue with Winetricks: see the issue report at Winetricks/winetricks#2183. There are some proposed fixes in development, but none have been merged yet.

That said, you should be able to close the warnings and continue. Is there any output afterwards once you do so? What if you run protontricks <APPID> -v? This prints a lot of output, so you'll want to use gist.github.com to post the output.
