Just before the weekend appears, we have the brand new Proton 3.16-8 beta available for Valve's Steam Play. This release includes some mighty fine fixes and updates.
The major upgrade this time around, is bumping DXVK to the 1.0 release. DXVK 1.0 had quite a lot of improvements all around, check the changelog for that here if you're interested. The gist of it is that you should see even more games become compatible and there's some performance improvements too.
There's also a very handy fix for Unity games, where a lot of them had the mouse pull down towards the bottom-right of the screen which should hopefully no longer happen.
For those playing online games, a networking fix also made it into this release with Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet specifically mentioned but others should see improvements too.
Steamwork API support was also improved for both old and new games, with Battlerite mentioned directly.
Finally, they noted "fixes" (they weren't specific) for DX9 games on certain hardware which includes titles like Final Fantasy XI.
As always, find the full changelog here.

Jesus, calm yourself. This isn't reddit. Chill. :)
Really happy that the mouse-pulldown is addressed. I'll give that a shot this weekend - it was killing my Subnautica joy for a long time, so I guess I need to re-install that and give it another shot! (although you could always stick mouse acceleration to a very low number in game to get around it, mostly)
Will do some testing all round, I think! Love seeing these updates pour in.

I didn't have any mouse problems using the experimental build of Subnautica. That would be worth a try if you continue to have issues.

Seems they forgot to update the version string, still shows up as 3.16-7 even though it's updated.

I was trying literally everything to force-update Proton and was just about to wipe Steam from my HDD. Thanks Liam. You just saved my evening.

Speaking of bugs, one thing I'd like fixed that I noticed lately (and weirdly also affects Windows) is that when you have Steam running and it shows up in the system tray on Gnome (with the top icon extension) it doesn't show it's running in Gnome's icon bar/dock. Same thing happens in Windows 10's task bar. Icon is there to launch, but it doesn't show it as running, but is in the system tray.I did, many times, it didn't change.Seems they forgot to update the version string, still shows up as 3.16-7 even though it's updated.That's a bug, you should restart steam to update version string in settings.

My steam updated CSGO and it updated correctly. Then it updated steamplay but had an error so I cleared the update cache and it restarted and steamplay was now showing 3-16.8 on my steam.

Mouse issue in The Forest is fixed finally! Had to use regular wine to play this because of that issue. But yeah 3.16-8 fixes it

Steam team made big progress for Far Cry 3, the game is now considered as "Silver". It's not perfect yet, you have to disable Uplay overlay and the game did not exit cleanly, you have to kill manually Uplay and some other process. But with Proton 3.16-8 the game is playable in Directx11 mode.

Thanks, and yeah literal translation I think is sleeping song, which is a lullaby. I got it from a song title from a band called The Legendary Pink Dots.
