Valve and CodeWeavers have released the latest version of the Proton compatibility layer for Steam Play today.
Looking to get started with Steam Play on Linux? Have no idea what it is? Be sure to check our Steam Play page for some tips and explanations. We'll be keeping that up to date with any major changes.
Proton 5.0-7 follows the brief Release Candidate testing period we wrote about recently, as they're now getting a bit more public testing before a full release. This should help find major issues and give everyone a better experience on Linux.
What's new:
- Street Fighter 5 and Streets of Rage 4 are now playable.
- Update DXVK to v1.6.1.
- Fixes for sound in TrackMania Nations Forever, TrackMania Ultimate Forever, and Zusi 3 Aerosoft.
- Fix crash in Plebby Quest: The Crusades.
- Fix connecting to Gearbox SHiFT in Borderlands 3.
- Grand Theft Auto 4 is now playable.
- Updates to vkd3d to improve Direct3D 12 compatibility and performance.
- Improve developer debugging experience.
If you missed the update to our previous article, here's a short look at how well Street Fighter V now runs on Proton from one of my first attempts:

Fully playable with a Steam controller here.
I will try with my x360 too to see if I can reproduce your issue.

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoI confirm that Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel via Forced Proton 5.0-7 with the UHD pack installed doesn't crash anymore (at least for me)
Do you mean that all the other tinkering (running with Proton 4.11 the first time, the Media Foundation DLL, stuttering, low FPS) have been worked out? That would be swell! But what's this UHD pack you mention? I don't remember reading about that.
And can I get an 'Amen!' from someone that it's crazy that BL 3 has a 'Gold' rating on Protondb.com?

Quoting: orochi_kyoMeh, the thing is it's about the same with DRM except they're not extending the trust so they're less likely to get the goodwill. Not like DRM really stops piracy or anything.Quoting: MohandevirI would like to see GoG integrate Proton in some form... Maybe offer proton wrapped versions of their Windows games, if at all possible. I'd be a lot more inclined to support them. Having to deal with Lutris or wine is not something that I look forward to...
The thing is these anti-drm people don't get what DRM is about, practically you are asking developers to work on a "trust" system when they depend on the "goodwill" of people that they will not share the game you bought without DRM through any portable storage system to other people that didn't buy the game.
