        A module for applying fixes at runtime to unsupported games with Steam Proton without changing game installation files. The idea is to include seperate fixes that are only loaded when a game matching that ID is run. This should keep the individual game fixes from affecting any other games. Applying the fixes at runtime should also them to persist after game updates.
        
        Current fixes include: 
        - Final Fantasy IX
        - Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee
        - Forts
        - Styx: Master of Shadows
        
        Current utilities available:
        - util.protontricks('verb')
        	-  installs a winetricks verb
        - util.use_win32_prefix() 
        	- creates and uses a win32 (32bit) wineprefix
        - util.replace_command('original', 'replacement') 
        	- replaces text in the game's launch command
        - util.append_argument('argument')
        	- adds an argument to the game's launch command
        - util.protonprefix()
        	- returns the path of the current wineprefix used by Proton
        
        ## Installation
        
        ### Optional Requirements
        **Winetricks**
        
        If you want to be able to use fixes with winetricks it must be installed and be in your $PATH. Fixes that do not use winetricks will still work without winetricks being installed.
        
        *Winetricks can take a long time to load*
        
        **Wine**
        
        If you want to use a win32 (32bit) prefix, you need to have wine installed and be in your $PATH. Currently creating a 32bit prefix with Proton wine doesn't work because the wineserver is already running by the time `user_settings.py` is loaded.
        
        **Splashscreen**
        
        For the splashscreen to work, you need to have `cefpython3` installed. It can be installed with pip using `sudo pip install cefpython3`. The splashscreen can help let you know that protonfixes is running a long task, for example installing `dotnet35`.
        
        ### Install from PIP
        Make sure to use the version of pip that matches the version of Python that Proton is running. Proton should be running on [python3](https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/blob/8a5b8ece45fa7baa01ce2e4555f6496ea409adcf/build_proton.sh#L682). If you are unsure, try installing with both pip3 and pip2 in the below commands.
        ```
        # sudo pip3 install protonfixes
        ```
        
        ### Upgrade from PIP
        ```
        # sudo pip3 install protonfixes --upgrade
        ```
        
        ### Install using setuptools
        ```
        # sudo python3 setup.py install
        ```
        
        ### Add to user_settings.py
        In the steamapps/common/Proton* directory, add the following line to the bottom of the `user_settings.py` file:
        ```
        import protonfixes
        ```
        If there is no `user_settings.py` file, make a copy of the `user_settings.sample.py` file included with Proton.
        
        ### Debugging
        Proton output can be seen in either `/tmp/dumps/${USER}_stdout.txt` or the terminal you started Steam from. To add additional `protonfixes` debugging information, add the following line above `import protonfixes`:
        ```
        from protonfixes import debug
        ```
        This will add information like this:
        ```
        ProtonFixes[27351] DEBUG: ---- begin protontricks debug info ----
        ProtonFixes[27351] DEBUG: Proton Python Version:
        ProtonFixes[27351] DEBUG: /usr/bin/python3
        ProtonFixes[27351] DEBUG: 3.7.0 (default, Jul 15 2018, 10:44:58)
        [GCC 8.1.1 20180531]
        ProtonFixes[27351] DEBUG: ---------------------------------------
        ```
        Although the environment variables are dumped, the sensitive variables like SteamUser and SteamAppUser are filtered out.
        
        ## Writing Game Fixes
        Game fixes are written in python and are named by the Steam game ID with the extension .py. For example, the file `377840.py` will be loaded when the game FINAL FANTASY IX is run. Gamefixes can be added to the `~/.config/protonfixes/localfixes/` directory. Here are some things to consider when writing fixes:
        
        - Only import libraries that are part of the Python standard library for portability.
        - Use docstrings and comment thoroughly. There will likely be people without python experience making game fixes and good commented examples will help
        - Do not use any hard-coded paths, Steam may not always be installed in the same location.
        - Check your gamefix with pylint. You can safely disable warning C0103, modules named by Steam ID will never conform to snake_case naming style.
        
        ### Testing
        When testing, local fixes can be added to `~/.config/protonfixes/localfixes/`. They should be imported the same way as an included fix would be. For example, `~/.config/protonfixes/localfixes/377840.py` would be loaded for FFIX. Please feel free to submit working gamefixes to improve the project. 
        
        ## Example game fixes
        `377840.py` - Changing the executable launched and setting an environment variable
        ```python
        import os
        from protonfixes import util
        
        
        def main():
            """ Bypass the launcher and fix audio
            """
        
            print('Applying FINAL FANTASY IX Game Fixes')
        
            # Fix crackling audio
            os.environ['PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC'] = '60'
        
            # Replace launcher with game exe in proton arguments
            util.replace_command('FF9_Launcher', 'x64/FF9.exe')
        ```
        
        `410900.py` - Running a winetricks verb
        ```python
        from protonfixes import util
        
        def main():
            """ Uses winetricks to install the ole32 verb
            """
        
            print('Applying fixes for Forts')
        
            util.protontricks('ole32')
        ```
        `15700.py` - Example using a win32 prefix
        
        *Oddworld doesn't actually require a win32 prefix or dotnet35, but I used it for testing since it's 32bit*
        ```python
        import sys
        from protonfixes import util
        
        def main():
            """ Adds -interline to arguments, uses a win32 prefix, and installs dotnet35
            """
            
            print('Applying fixes for Oddworld: Abe\'s Oddysee')
                
            # Adding -interline fixes slow video but adds scanlines
            util.append_argument('-interline')
            
            print('Using a win32 prefix')
            util.use_win32_prefix()
            
            # Make sure any winetricks are run after changing to a win32 prefix
            util.protontricks('dotnet35')
        ```
