Another smaller update to the GE-Proton compatibility layer for running more Windows games on Linux, SteamOS / Steam Deck. We only just had GE-Proton 10-7 / GE-Proton 10-6 with a bunch of fixes, and now we get second helping.

Here's all that's changed:

  • Fix DOOM Eternal black screen regression when using wine-wayland
  • Disable steam input and xalia in wine-wayland (they dont work with it) and enable sdl instead
  • Add protonfixes for Blade & Soul NEO -- game is now playable but there is a known crash in-game when you open the settings. Opening the settings at character select works fine
  • Add protonfix to set SteamOS=1 for Wuthering Waves --game is now playable

Confused on all the Proton versions? Be sure to read my guide. Also see my guide on how to install GE-Proton. My usual advice is to stick with Valve's official Proton, unless there's something specific you need in GE-Proton as there's less support and testing with it.

Steam Input no longer works on Wayland.

Not sure what the bit Steam Input should be doing.

I tested HITMAN running with Wine-Wayland for that sweet HDR, and even with the latest 10-8 release, controller still doesn't work, until I manually turn off Steam input for the game.

Apparently it actually does work if you build XWayland with support for libei? https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/8604
