PayPalValve have pushed out a Steam Play beta update with Proton 3.16-7 now available for testing. Lots of fixes!
Not quite the huge upgrade many were expecting, most people thought Valve would be pushing ahead with a major update of Wine but this release still seems like a very nice update overall
Firstly, they've updated DXVK to 0.96 and FAudio to 19.02. This should hopefully mean quite a number of games will see improvements and begin working. Additionally, there has been some controller improvements, with Unity specifically mentioned for games like Subnautica and INSIDE.
As for bug fixes and other changes, here's what they improved:
- Fix for fullscreen behavior in Into The Breach.
- Fix for crashes in some d3d9 games on Mesa.
- Fix for crash when launching certain games, including Path of Exile, the Bloons series, and the Naruto Shippuden series.
- Fix for games with special characters in paths, including LEGO Harry Potter.
- Restore previous functionality of the Uplay client.
- New runtime option for old games that can't handle modern GL extension strings. Set PROTON_OLD_GL_STRING to limit the extension string length.
- New runtime option to disable d3d10 support, PROTON_NO_D3D10.
- Better support for games that use very old steamworks SDKs, including Lost Planet.
- Fixed various problems with the build system, and added a new top-level Makefile to make simple builds much easier.
You can see the changelog here. Looks like it's going to be a fun weekend of testing ahead!
If you're having issues updating, you can select Proton from Steam's tools menu found when you hover over "LIBRARY" -> "TOOLS" and search for "Proton" then install "Proton 3.16 Beta". Seems many people have had issues with it not updating properly.
After some fresh testing, with a forced Proton update I can confirm Into the Breach fullscreen now works as expected—hooray!

QuoteI did give Into The Breach a very quick test, but sadly it doesn't look like the fullscreen issue is solved for me. Setting it into fullscreen made it into a bigger window, turned it black and seemed to make it freeze. I had to force-quit, then when loading it up again it was just in a big window with bits cut-off. Looks like they still need to work on that.
Were you really on Beta7 (validate that the DXVK version is indeed 0.96)? It took me some manual steps until Proton was actually updated to Beta7.

How do you manage to get proton to download? i tried to disable and enable again steamplay and deleting the proton folder and now don't have any proton version :(

Quoting: jensWill check again later but Steam was restarted twice to be sure and I manually selected 3.16-7. If it really wasn't, then Valve have serious work to do to ensure when you select a version that it's actually on it.QuoteI did give Into The Breach a very quick test, but sadly it doesn't look like the fullscreen issue is solved for me.

Yes, same problem as (almost) always, Proton doesn't get actually updated until you do some confusing stunts with your client.
After seeing the same old DXVK version I removed entirely the Proton folder, checked/rechecked the SteamPlay settings and installed a small Windows game. Sprinkle this concoction with a couple of restarts and eventually the new version gets finally installed.
You could also recheck the integrity of whatever Windows game you have installed, or just install/reinstall latest Proton from the Steam tools menu.
Edit: Oh yeah, not saying you should do all this, just that something from the above did it.
Just to make sure you're on 3.16-7, enable the version information on the DXVK HUD.

Started Steam, then restarted once for 3.16-7 to show up. Selected 3.16-7.
Looks like the setting only applies on non-whitelisted games though.
Whitelisted games seem to use whatever version Valve used when whitelisting it, which makes sense actually because it eliminates the potential for regressions.

Yes, looks like you can override the default in the game specific settings. Good to know.

They should add a button to manually check proton version and also force proton download...
EDIT:
It exists. When you click library you should see on the dropdown menu a section call tools. In there should be four entries for different versions of proton. From here it works like the games on steam. You can check the integrity of the files or just deleted to reinstall it.
