GE-Proton11-1 has been released, featuring a significant overhaul of the media pipeline that eliminates GStreamer and reroutes video playback through winedmo and FFmpeg. The update, developed by GloriousEggroll, utilized AI to enhance compatibility for legacy games while simplifying the process by reducing the need for manual winetricks hacks. This new build supports nearly eighty titles for video playback without additional overrides or external codecs, although some older WMV videos may exhibit initial distortion. Users should note that this version is experimental and may not offer the stability of the official Proton, making it ideal for those wanting improved video playback in legacy DirectShow games
