GloriousEggroll has released GE-Proton 11-10, a fix that enhances compatibility for running Windows games on Linux, including improvements for anti-cheat systems and a significant frame-rate fix for Path of Exile. The update includes a Wine upgrade that introduces syscall emulation and native syscall handling for Easy Anti-Cheat launchers, which is pivotal for Linux gamers wanting to play multiplayer titles with anti-cheat measures. Additionally, the release addresses a controller regression that had previously caused significant performance drops in several games, improving overall gaming experience. While the community reception has been positive, users are reminded that using bleeding-edge compatibility layers like GE-Proton comes with risks of potential regressions

GE-Proton 11-10: Anti-Cheat Wins and a Path of Exile Fix

GloriousEggroll released GE-Proton 11-10 today, a fix release that builds directly on GE-Proton 11-9. The update's Wine upgrade adds syscall emulation and native-syscall handling for Easy Anti-Cheat launchers, advancing the years-long effort to run anti-cheat-protected multiplayer games on Linux. It also repairs a controller regression that dragged Path of Exile down to roughly 50 FPS and cuts ntdll CPU time in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 from 24.5% to 19.1%. The community-maintained fork, run by a Red Hat engineer, remains a manual install that trades bleeding-edge fixes for a higher chance of regressions.
