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.
