For many games this script is not needed anymore, and may soon not be needed at all.
This is largely thanks to work Guy1524 has done in officially implementing Media Foundation support into Wine. I would reccommend trying games with latest Proton-GE first, and only using this as a backup.
Media Foundation workaround for Wine
Easily add Media Foundation support to a Wine prefix. Just set WINEPREFIX to a valid Wine prefix and run.
Example usage:
WINEPREFIX="/dev/brain/wine prefixes can be anywhere/folder" ./mf-install.sh
Steam stores Proton Wine prefixes as <STEAM FOLDER>/steamapps/compatdata/<GAME ID>/pfx
Optionally you can use Proton's Wine instead of your system's Wine. See the script for how.
