Release of GE-Proton10-7: Key Updates and Fixes
The recently launched GE-Proton10-7 follows the earlier versions GE-Proton10-5 and GE-Proton10-6, primarily addressing issues related to the Wine-Wayland patches that caused crashes. The earlier version, GE-Proton10-5, was invalidated due to these crashing issues, prompting a revision and the release of GE-Proton10-6, which included necessary fixes.
Notable Changes in GE-Proton10-7:
1. Wine-Wayland Patches: The patches have been rebased and force pushed to resolve the crashing issues that were identified. This was a critical fix, as the author of the patches indicated that certain commits were problematic.
2. NVIDIA Crashes: The update also encompasses improvements that aim to eliminate NVIDIA-related crashes, enhancing the overall stability for users with NVIDIA graphics cards.
3. Wuthering Waves Support: Additional patches have been incorporated specifically to support the game Wuthering Waves.
4. PROTON_PREFER_SDL Option: This option has been reinstated, allowing users to prioritize SDL for controller support over default Steam input and hidraw. This change is particularly useful for users who prefer SDL’s handling of input devices.
Additional Fixes and Patches:
- Updates were made to the protonfixes database, including new fixes for titles such as Artificial Academy 2, Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, and Anno 1800 from the Ubisoft Store.
- The release process experienced an unusual instance where a version (10-5) was skipped due to the necessary force push requested by the patch author, marking a rare occurrence in the versioning history.
