GloriousEggroll has announced the release of GE-Proton10-27, an update aimed at enhancing the Proton compatibility layer for gaming on Linux. This version brings significant improvements, primarily through the integration of the latest Wine version, which is known for its ability to run Windows applications and games on Linux systems. Additionally, the update includes upgrades to DXVK and related projects, such as DXVK-NVAPI and vkd3d-proton, ensuring that users benefit from the most recent developments in these tools.
The update also features several important patches aimed at improving support for Wayland, a display server protocol that enhances graphical performance and efficiency. The Wine staging has been updated to align with recent system changes, thus providing better compatibility across various applications.
One notable enhancement in GE-Proton10-27 is a new status window that offers users greater insight into the operations of Proton fixes, making troubleshooting easier. The release includes multiple game-specific tweaks, such as restoring the GAMEID functionality for Heroes of Newerth Reborn and providing improvements for Star Citizen’s compatibility.
Various other games, including Angelic Chaos: RE-BOOT!, Rocket League, and Sword of the Stars, have also received fixes. Notably, a workaround has been implemented for The First Descendant to mitigate disconnections during gameplay. Additionally, the update introduces a winetricks patch that disables Xalia during .NET installation sequences.
While many issues have been addressed, a known problem persists with Blade & Soul NEO, which fails to launch due to a similar issue found in the upstream Proton-experimental version.
In summary, GE-Proton10-27 represents a robust update that enhances gaming experiences on Linux, with a focus on compatibility and performance improvements. Future updates may further address outstanding issues and incorporate user feedback to refine the gaming experience even more
