PayPalValve put up a fresh Proton Experimental update today now than Proton 9.0 is officially available, with the usual assorted game compatibility improvements for Steam Deck / Linux.
Noted in the changelog is that FreestyleFootball R is now playable as of this release and additionally they've added support for OpenXR 1.1.36. Another change is that Valve have limited the CPU cores seen by Command & Conquer and The Covert Operations, allowing them to be played on high core-count systems (much like they did for multiple titles in Proton 9.0).

The rest of the fixes are:
- Fixed scaling in The Desolate Hope when playing on desktop.
- Fixed Marvel vs Capcom crashing when creating multiplayer lobby.
- Fixed Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition crashing when skipping intro videos.
- Fixed Beat Saber not being playable on Nvidia GPUs without using the legacy branch.

It's so good to see some updates on this!
A fellow Linux VR gamer told me this might fix most nVidia related VR issues, e.g. for him [Open Brush](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1634870/Open_Brush/) and [Banter](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2564460/Banter/) works now (both free). I'll have to test it with Pistol Whip and Boom Box. Hubris recently added support for SteamVR/OpenVR (so it worked for me before this update), but maybe works better with OpenXR. Time for some testing!
