Valve have pushed out the latest smaller update to Steam Play, this time including an updated DXVK and a bunch of fixes for various games.

Full changelog:

  • Update DXVK to 1.2.1.
  • Support for new Steam networking APIs. Should fix some newer titles, including A Hat in Time.
  • Many controller layout fixes. Should fix controller layout in many Unity-based titles, including Subnautica, and some Ubisoft titles.

While smaller than previous updates, obviously it's still a pretty good one. Moving from DXVK 1.1.1 to 1.2.1 alone should benefit a number of games and improve GPU utilization. The networking and controller layout fixes are also very welcome, as the better we can get various games working the more likely people are to try out Linux.

What have you been testing with Steam Play lately? I'm still hooked on Deep Rock Galactic, while our livestreamer Sin has been checking out Rage 2 on our Twitch Channel and it looks great.

And a NEW version of PROTON is here!
Quote4.2-6:

More fixes for the new Steam networking API. A Hat In Time's online multiplayer should be functional now.
DXVK 1.2.1 has been rebuilt with a modern compiler. This should increase performance especially for 32-bit games. (Note, if you build Proton yourself in Vagrant, you will want to make clean and vagrant provision to take advantage of the new compiler; or simply destroy and re-create the VM.)
Update FAudio to 19.06.
Fix for more games on non-English locales, like GRID.
Fix controller rumble in some games, including Team Sonic Racing.
Improve font rendering in SpellForce 3.
