Proton 5.0 for Steam Play released - it's a huge update (updated)
8 Feb 2020 at 9:32 am UTC

really great that Just Cause 3 finally runs over proton, but sad that it doesn't save any progress, so on every start you have to start from the beginning again :(

February's Humble Choice is up with a new bunch of good looking games

Quoting: Luke_NukemThis fixes what were some pretty bad FFB faults for steering wheels in a few driving games. link [External Link]
finally awesome work from berarma and aeikum
A side-note: If you have a G920 wheel, you will need to use kernel 5.4.x plus, or 4.9 and lower. FFB and some other stuff broke around 5.1 series. You will alos need to do a steam --reset after upgrading the kernel..

Steam Play Proton 4.11-9 is out with a few fixes, plus a new release of Proton GE

because with Proton FFB is in most games broken when it comes to Racing Wheels, and Racing Games without Force Feedback are not playable in my eyes.

Take a look here

What does that mean "restoration of force feedback for steering wheels" does that mean that FFB finally works out of the box on games like Dirt Ralley 2, Project Cars 2, Kartkraft,......... or was there just a regression on 4.11-8, or do we still need the workaround made by berarma?

ffbtools and ffbwrap then add to launch options

DXVK 1.4 released boosting this Vulkan layer to support D3D 11.4
23 Sep 2019 at 2:01 pm UTC

i really have no idea if it has something todo with proton and if it works at all, but i installed at the weekend the Game Squad (Humble Monthly) and it installed EAC on first run with proton. I didn't play online since i had no time, maybe someone else has some infos about it, maybe it is the same as it was with other game betas that EAC is not really active now. But according to protondb the game runs without issues also online, which could also be because it is still not final.

D9VK 0.20 'Frog Cookie' is out further advancing this great D3D9 to Vulkan layer

nice release and now also included in proton :)

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/wiki/Changelog#411-3 [External Link]

4.11-3:
  • Games will now attempt to access gamepads directly, instead of Proton emulating gamepads as if they were Xbox controllers. This means PlayStation 4 gamepads as well as fighting gamepads and other controllers will behave much more like they do on Windows. If you would like your gamepad to be emulated as if it were an Xbox controller, please use the Steam client controller mapping feature. If the controller cannot be accessed directly, due to a permissions issue, it will continue to be presented like an Xbox controller.

  • fsync hang and crash fixes.

  • Add support for fsync configurable spin count, might help performance but disabled by default. Try setting WINEFSYNC_SPINCOUNT=100

  • Add missing Chinese, Japanese, and Korean language font.

  • Fix in-game web browser in some games including Bloons TD 6.

  • Fix new crashes related to text input, especially in Unreal Engine 4 games including Mordhau and Deep Rock Galactic.

  • Update D9VK to 0.20.

  • Improve support for very old VR titles.

  • Support for latest Steamworks and OpenVR SDK versions.

Steam Play just got two updates with 4.2-3 and 3.16-9, some great stuff included

I also think that they won't fix it at all on a unsupported OS, i think when then wine will need to fix it, i think currently no one knows whats causing the issue at all. Sad but our only option is to use the older version :(
