One of the most important tools for gaming on Linux distributions, Proton, has received a new update. Valve is pushing Proton forward to make it seamless to play Windows games in Linux operating system. Of course, they are pushing this hard for a reason: Steam Deck. However, it still accelerates the development of all other gaming-related features, which is nice.
19 new games in the catalog
The new version of Proton delivers Windows.Gaming.Input support and allows reordering the XInput controller on Steam Deck devices. Its code is also updated for the latest versions of DXVK-NVAPI and DXVK for Vulkan implementation. Additionally, the new release fixes some issues with Rockstar Games Launcher as well as some problems in games such as performance issues in Street Fighter V online play and crashes in Elden Ring in DEATHLOOP.
