After quite a wait due to many parts being reworked, GE-Proton 11-1 is officially out now to bring more Windows game compatibility to SteamOS / Linux.
Make sure you take a look at the GamingOnLinux explainer on the different Proton versions and the GamingOnLinux guide to install GE-Proton to get started with it. For Steam you generally only need GE-Proton for very specific games as it’s best to stick with Valve’s official Proton for direct support, but GE-Proton is great for outside of Steam like with the Heroic Games Launcher.
This new release of GE-Proton 11-1 brings the community-maintained compatibility layer up to date to use the latest upstream Proton 11.

Proton updates:
- d7vk added (not enabled by default). Use PROTON_USE_D7VK=1 to enable. It is enabled via protonfix on Tex Murphy: Overseer
- discord bridge added. (not enabled by default). Use PROTON_DISCORD_BRIDGE=1 to enable. (proton-cachyos)
- optiscaler support added. (not enabled by default). Use PROTON_USE_OPTISCALER=1 to enable’ (proton-cachyos)
- winealsa channel count override option added. (not enabled by default). Use WINEALSA_CHANNELS to tune. Possible values is the number of speakers, such as 2 (to disable spatial audio), such as 4 (2 front, 2 rear), 6 (5.1) or 8 (7.1). (Vyrolian)
- winealsa spacial downmix override option added. (not enabled by default). Use WINEALSA_SPACIAL=1 to enable. (Vyrolian)
- xrandr added to build so that auto-detection of default monitor can work without relying on host xrandr when a default monitor is not set for wine-wayland. This means if you accidentally forget to set a monitor for wine-wayland it should display on the default one found by xrandr now instead of just defaulting to the far left.
