GloriousEggroll has officially launched GE-Proton10-9, a significant update that enhances compatibility and performance for users running Windows games on Linux through Proton. Key features of this release include the addition of ntsync support, enabling smoother synchronization for applications when set with the environment variable `PROTON_USE_NTSYNC=1`. However, users must ensure their kernel is patched with ntsync patches; otherwise, the necessary device file `/dev/ntsync` will be absent. Additionally, some 32-bit applications might require the setting `PROTON_USE_WOW64=1` for proper functionality with ntsync.
The update also introduces support for the FSR4 upgrade, which can be activated through `PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1`, allowing for automatic enhancements directly from AMD’s resources. Moreover, it addresses flickering and rendering issues that users experienced while utilizing wine-wayland, thanks to upstream fixes.
Further improvements in GE-Proton10-9 include a comprehensive refactoring of the patches section, the removal of outdated patches, and updates to essential components such as wine-wayland, wine itself, dxvk, and vkd3d-proton, all brought up to date with the latest releases. Notably, this version has also imported various upstream Proton changes and includes specific fixes for issues like winetricks failing due to wget and gnutls, and a resolution for the freezing issue in the game Sifu.
With these updates, GE-Proton10-9 aims to provide a more stable and enhanced gaming experience for Linux users, reflecting the ongoing commitment to improving compatibility and performance in the Proton ecosystem.
