GE-Proton 11-7 has been released, featuring an 85-patch overhaul of the Wineland rendering system, which significantly improves the usability of Wine's native Wayland driver for cross-process child-window rendering. This update builds on the improvements made in version 11-6 and addresses numerous game-specific issues, enhancing compatibility for titles such as Forza Horizon 5 and Diablo IV. The creator, Thomas Crider (GloriousEggroll), emphasizes that the project is independent of Valve and is designed to provide better performance and functionality for users running Windows games on Wayland desktops. In addition to the rendering improvements, the release includes updates for controller support and video playback fixes, with a candid acknowledgment of remaining issues that require further testing

GE-Proton 11-7 Release: Wineland Wayland Rendering Overhaul and 85 Patches

GE-Proton 11-7 delivering an 85-patch Wineland overhaul that makes Wine's native Wayland driver finally usable for cross-process child-window rendering. The build extends work first introduced in 11-6, pushing past Valve's own Proton 11 and maturing the path that Windows launchers and embedded web panels rely on. Alongside it lands dozens of targeted fixes for games like Forza Horizon 5, Diablo IV, Black Desert Online, and DOOM Eternal, plus new Sony-to-XInput controller defaults and a rebased video stack. It's a large release, so GloriousEggroll flags several fixes as still needing retesting rather than declaring a clean sweep. Grab the tarball from the GitHub Releases page and force it per game through Steam's Compatibility settings.
