For those of you sticking with the stable channel of Steam Play's Proton system, Valve have today rolled out all the recent beta changes for everyone.
Previously, you had access to Proton 3.7-3 which was what everyone used by default and you could also use the "Compatibility tool" dropdown in the Steam Play options section to switch to a beta to have the latest updates. Valve must now consider all the changes stable enough, as Proton 3.7-6 is now the default. There's another beta channel now, which is still currently at 3.7-6 but it should remain where the latest changes go.
There's quite a lot of improvements included since the initial release, like: automatic mouse capturing in fullscreen windows by default, performance improvements, certain game compatibility improvements, an updated build of DXVK, more display resolution support and so on. You can see the full changelog here.
If you missed them, we had an interview with the creator of DXVK which is part of Steam Play's Proton and an interview with Linux game porter Ethan Lee recently. We will have another article up having a chat with a few developers about it all in a few days. Given that we're approaching the weekend, it will probably be early next week. We have some interesting people lined up for it, stay tuned.
It's really fun to watch it progress, I'm pretty excited personally to see how it evolves over the next year. It's still early days, but it has been rather promising so far. How have you all been finding it so far? What has been your biggest surprise with it? Let us know in the comments.

Quoting: GuestI just want voices and music in Skyrim Special Edition....I believe FAudio will fix that, which Ethan Lee is working on. Let's hope Valve hire him, full speed ahead number 1!
Quoting: GuestYeah, they literally just did that. Updated the text to be clear on that now.QuoteValve must now consider all the changes stable enough, as Proton 3.7-6 is now the only option.
Looks like there is 3.7-6 Beta again (Not to be confused with the old 3.7-6 Beta, before Proton37_3 came and went. LOL!)

That will be the solution to make it work out of the box. However there is a workaround for Skyrim Special Edition. Works for me..

Edit: This breaks as soon as you fast travel.

Quite correct! I don't think they would ever whitelist a game with native MS dlls enabled..
