What can I use to play kingdom under fire a war of heroes I think it was on windows xp

Looks like it's supported on proton, silver

So install it through steam and it should be playable

Yeah but the steam one seems kind of sketch reading the reviews

Ah then what you want is probably umu launcher

Then you can run whatever you want under proton, though this isnt "officially" supported so you might have an odd glitch or 2. But if it runs on steam proton fine enough, it shouldn't be much different
