GE-Proton 10-18 brings fixes for Wayland, Company of Heroes 2 & 3, Blue Protocol: Star Resonance

By Liam Dawe - 13 Oct 2025 at 10:23 am UTC

A fresh batch of fixes have landed for running Windows games on Linux / SteamOS and Steam Deck with GE-Proton 10-18 now available. Thankfully it even includes a fix for the missing videos with the recent release of Blue Protocol: Star Resonance covered here on GamingOnLinux recently.

With many different Proton versions it can be confusing so check the GamingOnLinux explainer on the different Proton versions and the GamingOnLinux guide to install GE-Proton to get started with it. Usually, you don't need GE-Proton unless it has some specific fix not available in Valve's official Proton.

From the GE-Proton 10-18 changelog here's what's new:

Proton (upstream):

dxvk updated to latest git

vkd3d-proton/vkd3d updated to latest git

wine updated to latest bleeding-edge

dxvk-nvapi updated to latest git

proton script game fixes imported from upstream

vrclient fixes imported from upstream

imported wine-wayland (and additional) patches from em-10

imported imported ntsync ubisoft connect fix from em-10

fixed issue with Wine-wayland driver causes the game screen to not fit the screen size when size chosen larger than screen size.

Proton(GE):

enabled wine writecopy option for ea/ubisoft/battlenet launchers

Protonfixes:

fixed issue with wine mono not getting removed fully (dotnet40+ should install now via winetricks)

fixed protonfix issue where it would quit instead of trying to create parent directory for config if it doesnt exist.

reverted a change that made vcrun2022 install instead of vcrun2019, which can lead to some games breaking

added fix for blue protocol star resonance videos to work

Fix Battle Engine Aquila overlapping sound

Company of Heroes 2 and Company of Heroes 3 Mp Desync fix

I was hoping this would fix the issue of being unable to install dotnet40+ into a Proton Prefix… but it still errors out with a fresh prefix and Proton GE 10.18. Right now there's a workaround that involves removing symlinking from files inside the prefix with vanilla Proton (with GE complains that dotnet is already installed), but it's complicated to do and it massively increases disk space https://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=38124 [External Link]
