protontricks doesnt work with steam beta

[stiinkyratz]

protontricks was working perfectly, i switched to steam beta for the family share and now protontricks crashes every time. after searching all over the internet i finally got confirmation that the issue is with steam beta. If i switch back to stable then I won't be able to access my share library. When will this bug be resolved? Is there any workarounds in place already?
