Proton Experimental gets fixes for The First Berserker: Khazan, THE FINALS, The Sims 2, Alpha Protocol and more

Last week, me and my friend finally proved the hypothetical scenario of Experimental breaking something to be truthful and significant, where before that we used to believe it's all fine, doesn't matter and it's better to stick to Experimental as default.

The issue was (..) [broken] Dualshock 4 support (..). Proton 9 doesn't have the issue. It was by sheer luck we found that the Proton version was the issue (..).

Moral of the story: Do stick with the stable Proton(s).
For a long time Proton Experimental as the default worked like a charm though, didn't it.

The Sims 2 Legacy Collection is playable again.
Woo-hoo!

Proton 10 was just a regression upon a regression so for the time being I am sticking to Proton 9.

Denuvo will lock you out of games on Linux, SteamOS, Steam Deck if you keep changing Proton versions

Since Proton works so well I forgot about the existence of Denuvo. This is a reminder to avoid games using it, if possible.
