If your Amazon GameLift Streams application runs on a Proton runtime environment, this section can help you troubleshoot compatibility issues between your application and the Proton layer. These instructions include a set of scripts that installs Proton to your own machine, simulating the environment that Amazon GameLift Streams would use.
