GloriousEggroll has unveiled an update to his custom Proton compatibility layer with the release of GE-Proton10-28. This version introduces several significant enhancements and fixes aimed at improving gaming experiences on Linux systems. Key updates include an upgraded Wine codebase, as well as updated DXVK and VKD3D components, which generally lead to better performance and stability compared to earlier versions like GE-Proton10-27.
One of the standout features of GE-Proton10-28 is the resolution of various bugs affecting popular games. For instance, players of World of Tanks can now enjoy a smoother experience with fixes for issues involving the loading of mods and crashes related to language switching. Additionally, the update addresses a crash issue with Blade & Soul Neo, further enhancing the gameplay experience.
A noteworthy improvement in this release is the patch for spatial audio functionality using Wine's ALSA driver. Previously, some games did not effectively support headphone audio, but this update allows for proper functionality through GE-Proton. The developers have implemented a new environment variable, WINEALSA_SPATIAL, which provides users with control over spatial audio settings, ensuring compatibility with various audio setups.
Beyond these major changes, GE-Proton10-28 includes numerous smaller patches that enhance the overall gaming experience. These patches address video playback issues in Ghostwire: Tokyo, provide support for Duet Night Abyss across different versions, and fix a Uplay overlay problem that had been reported by users.
In summary, GE-Proton10-28 not only brings essential core updates to Proton but also introduces specific fixes and enhancements that provide gamers with more options and improved stability. The ongoing commitment to refining the compatibility layer signifies a positive direction for gaming on Linux platforms.
Looking ahead, it would be beneficial to see continued development in the areas of audio and video performance for a broader range of games, as well as ongoing community feedback to guide future enhancements in GE-Proton
