For August 14th Valve released another upgrade to Proton Experimental, bringing some more essential fixes for Windows games on Linux / SteamOS and Steam Deck.

Confused on the different Proton versions? Be sure to read the GamingOnLinux guide. For games that have anti-cheat be sure to check out our compatibility page. This latest follows on from the August 8th update with even more improvements!

For the August 14th update noted to be now playable includes:

Firefly Village
The Crew Motorfest

The other fixes and improvements:

Fixed long loading times in God Eater 2 Rage Burst.
Fixed Spark & Kling crashing when idling on main menu.
Fixed multiplayer in Farlight 84.
Fixed Proton 10.0-2 regression that caused weird window behavior in RiME with non-native aspect ratios.
Fixed Proton 10 regressions:
- Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land no longer fails to play cutscenes.

The Crew Motorfest is an interesting one since it uses BattlEye anti-cheat. Ubisoft seemed to have it enabled for Linux platforms at some point recently, but Proton was missing a few bits to get the game fully working which have now been added. Nice to see more games like it working!

Also nice to see Farlight 84 get fixed again too, so that's even more multiplayer games that continue working on Linux.

Gotta be honest here.

Proton devs (both inhouse and upstream from WINE) are doing an insane job, both as amount of things fixed, and speed at which fixes go out.

Not to mention they have to deal mostly with closed-source games they cannot tweak, and they "fix" by changing their side of the equation.

Do anyone knows how many people Valve has on payroll whose job is to patch Proton to work with as many games as possible?

I'm frankly impressed.
