Only a few days after GE-Proton 9-12 was released, GE-Proton 9-13 is out now with a fix for World of Warcraft along with upstream code updates.

As your reminder: it's a community-build of Proton, nothing to do with the official Proton from Valve. You'll find GE adds specific fixes that Valve often can't (due to legal reasons) but GE comes with less testing and support. Usually you only want to use it for specific games until they work properly in Valve's Proton, or for using Proton outside of Steam like in Heroic and Lutris. See more about Proton in my guide.

From the GE-Proton 9-13 release notes:

Hotfix:

  • Update vkd3d-proton to latest git to include World of Warcraft MSAA fix

proton:

  • wine updated to latest bleeding edge
  • dxvk updated to latest git
  • proton upstream fixes added

Additional:

  • protonfixes updated to latest git

You can install GE-Proton with ProtonUp-Qt.

For those of you reading who regularly play WoW on Linux with Wine / Proton, how's the experience nowadays? It's been a very long time since I tried, but I remember even years before Proton is mostly ran quite well.

On lutris you use 8-26 or something for WoW and it's working well on both devices I have. One has an issue with Battle.net chocking the CPU but the bigger system can handle that (7800x3d). I gave that laptop to a friend and his only biggest issue is that and his bluetooth devices not working on linux. Why would you use a bluetooth mouse without it's dongle? He says he lost it and now blames linux for not working lol. Still haven't switched back to Windows so that's a win. This whole experiment only costed me 300$ to ship the laptop Things I do to spread the linux love...
