The release of GE-Proton10-2 brings several important updates and fixes aimed at enhancing the gaming experience on Linux platforms. Key improvements include the correction of missing commas in the proton script, which previously caused issues with prefix configurations. Additionally, the accidental inclusion of Steam's ffmpeg libraries has been resolved, ensuring that the correct libraries are utilized for video playback across numerous titles that were compatible with Proton 9.
The update also removes the ENABLE_HDR_WSI setting, which was specific to the vk_hdr_layer hack and is no longer necessary with the latest Mesa version 25.1. Users who had this setting enabled are advised to disable it to avoid issues with washed-out colors and to update Mesa to benefit from HDR functionality.
Moreover, the release enhances compatibility with various launchers in Wayland, including Epic Games, Battle.net, and Star Citizen. A patch for the 32-bit EOS overlay allows for smoother gameplay in Among Us. Additional improvements include raw input patches for Winewayland, which provide un-accelerated mouse input, and touchpad scrolling support.
The latest updates from Git for DXVK and VKD3D-Proton have also been integrated, keeping the software up to date with the latest developments in graphics compatibility.
In summary, GE-Proton10-2 not only addresses previous issues but also expands functionality, making it a significant update for Linux gamers. Users can look forward to improved performance and compatibility across a wider range of games and applications, ensuring a smoother and more enjoyable gaming experience.
For future releases, it would be beneficial to continue focusing on compatibility with emerging technologies and game engines, as well as enhancing user interface elements to streamline the gaming setup process on Linux systems. Moreover, ongoing collaboration with community developers could further optimize performance and broaden support for additional titles
