For Steam you generally only need GE-Proton for very specific games as it&#8217;s best to stick with Valve&#8217;s official Proton for direct support, but GE-Proton is great for outside of Steam like with the Heroic Games Launcher.<\/p>\n<p>This new release of GE-Proton 11-1 brings the community-maintained compatibility layer up to date to use the latest upstream Proton 11.<\/p>\n<h4>The main changes:<\/h4>\n<p>Proton updates:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>d7vk added (not enabled by default). Use PROTON_USE_D7VK=1 to enable. It is enabled via protonfix on Tex Murphy: Overseer<\/li>\n<li>discord bridge added. (not enabled by default). Use PROTON_DISCORD_BRIDGE=1 to enable. (proton-cachyos)<\/li>\n<li>optiscaler support added. (not enabled by default). Use PROTON_USE_OPTISCALER=1 to enable&#8217; (proton-cachyos)<\/li>\n<li>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)<\/li>\n<li>winealsa spacial downmix override option added. (not enabled by default). Use WINEALSA_SPACIAL=1 to enable. (Vyrolian)<\/li>\n<li>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.<\/li>\n<li>updated star citizen patches<\/li>\n<li>added patches for Task Bar Hero (thaylorz)<\/li>\n<li>added patches for VRChat webcam face tracking (LilFishyChan)<\/li>\n<li>Entire build rebased onto latest proton 11 bleeding-edge<\/li>\n<li>Standalone patches for VR rebased onto proton 11 (so&#8230;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamingonlinux.com\/2026\/06\/ge-proton-11-1-arrives-with-d7vk-discord-bridge-optiscaler-and-more-added\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GE-Proton 11-1 arrives with d7vk, discord bridge, optiscaler and more added https:\/\/www.gamingonlinux.com\/2026\/06\/ge-proton-11-1-arrives-with-d7vk-discord-bridge-optiscaler-and-more-added\/ Publish Date: 2026-06-24&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":280429,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.gamingonlinux.com\/uploads\/articles\/tagline_images\/439678324id29273gol_og.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[71],"class_list":["post-280428","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-linux","tag-linux"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/280428"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=280428"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/280428\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":280430,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/280428\/revisions\/280430"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/280429"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=280428"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=280428"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=280428"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
