Key Updates and Fixes
The update has addressed issues in numerous games, including popular titles such as *Marvel Rivals EGS*, *The Testament of Sherlock Holmes*, *Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel*, and *Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered*. Other games receiving fixes include *DOOM 2016* (GOG), *Star Citizen*, and *Persona 3 Reload*. The community has contributed significantly to these fixes, with various contributors credited for their specific enhancements.
Wine-Wayland Functionality
While Wine-Wayland is not officially supported by Valve, it remains available for users to experiment with. To utilize this feature, users can set environment variables PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 and PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 for HDR support. However, users are cautioned that performance may vary, with some games experiencing issues such as crashes and graphical errors, particularly with titles using the Mesa patch.
Known Issues and Future Improvements
Several games, including those in the *DOOM* series and *Wolfenstein* titles, have known issues that may cause crashes or graphical glitches. Specifically, the *DOOM* games suffer from resolution change crashes and cursor issues, while *Path of Exile* games are affected without the Mesa patch. The community continues to work toward resolving these issues, with hopes of improving the user experience in future updates.
Conclusion and Community Engagement
The release of GE-Proton10-1 marks an important step in improving gaming performance on Linux systems. Users are encouraged to report any issues but are reminded that Wine-Wayland's functionality is experimental and not officially supported.
