    Go to your Steam library, and on the bottom left, click the "+" and then click "add non-steam game" browse to the exe and add it. Then go to the game in your library, hit the gear and go to properties. Go to compatibility, and you should be able to choose your desired Proton version from the drop down. Then launch the game through Steam.

    This is from memory so it might not be exact, but it's close.
