GloriousEggroll has officially launched GE-Proton10-3, a new version that includes crucial hotfixes aimed at enhancing user experience. Notably, the update introduces an environment variable that facilitates the functionality of winewayland patch fixes, which is automatically activated when the PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND variable is set. Additionally, a patch has been implemented to ensure that the PROTON_ENABLE/DISABLE_HIDRAW feature operates as intended.
Users are reminded to avoid manually setting the DISPLAY environment variable when attempting to enable winewayland. Instead, simply setting PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND to 1 is sufficient. Manually disabling DISPLAY can lead to issues with applications that require native rendering, particularly those utilizing OpenGL or Vulkan directly, rather than through layers like dxvk or vkd3d.

With each update, users can expect enhanced performance, increased stability, and broader support for various gaming applications.
