Describe the bug this is the error i got "Protontricks was closed due to the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/app/lib/python3.11/site-packages/protontricks/cli/util.py", line 159, in wrapper return cli_func(self, *args, **kwargs) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/app/lib/python3.11/site-packages/protontricks/cli/main.py", line 277, in main proton_app = find_proton_app( ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/app/lib/python3.11/site-packages/protontricks/steam.py", line 848, in find_proton_app tool_app = find_steam_compat_tool_app( ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/app/lib/python3.11/site-packages/protontricks/steam.py", line 604, in find_steam_compat_tool_app content = config_vdf_path.read_text() ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3.11/pathlib.py", line 1059, in read_text return f.read() ^^^^^^^^ File "", line 322, in decode UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xbf in position 43226: invalid start byte"

Expected behavior I expected too be able too do what you normally can do with proton tricks

System (please complete the following information):

  • Distro: zorin 0s 17.1
  • Protontricks installation method: flatpak
  • Protontricks version: 1.14.6.
  • Steam version: not running the beta participation

Additional context following a tutorial i found on reddit too install the pizza oven mod loader and it all requires proton tricks. (i have winetricks installed as well as all prerequisites)
