* How does Proton manage WINE prefixes?
# How does Proton manage WINE prefixes?
Proton creates a new WINE prefix for each game. These prefixes are located in the same library as the game, in the `steamapps/compatdata/[appid]/pfx/` directory ([appid] being the game's [Application ID](https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Steam_Application_IDs)).
The default WINE prefix for Proton is located in the `Proton 3.7/dist/share/default_pfx/` directory.
* Where are Proton's Wine binaries located?
# Where are Proton's Wine binaries located?
All of Proton's binaries and libraries are stored in `Proton 3.7/dist/`. The main WINE executable is located at `Proton 3.7/dist/bin/wine`.
* None of my games are launching / "prefix not owned by you" error
# None of my games are launching / "prefix not owned by you" error
This is likely caused by attempting to launch games from a library located on an NTFS partition which is not owned by your user. See [#35](https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/35#issuecomment-414949271) for information on how to fix this.
