Get ready for another weekend full of testing games, as Valve and CodeWeavers have put out a fresh official build of Steam Play Proton for your pleasure.

Here's the highlights:

  • Improve behavior of PlayStation 4 controllers and controllers connected by Bluetooth.
  • More improvements to mouse capture and window focus loss behavior.
  • Farming Simulator 19 is now playable.
  • Fix some graphics issues in A Hat in Time and Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3.
  • Update DXVK to v1.3.4
  • Update D9VK to 0.21-rc-p.
  • Update FAudio to 19.09.

As always, find the full changelog here.

Great to see another release, every update should bring it that step further towards supporting more and more games whose developers or publishers don't wish to support Linux officially.

Something also related, Jason Evangelho who writes for Forbes and runs the Linux For Everyone Podcast (which I'm a guest on sometimes) just finished recording an episode speaking to CodeWeavers. Keep an eye on their Twitter or website for the episode going up in a few days, should be an interesting one.

What will you be testing with Steam Play this weekend? Let us know in the comments.

This shouldn't be needed if you use Proton-GE release (force it via properties works best).

I tested Proton 4.15 GE (which has d9vk on by default) and Gothic 3 still is very sluggish, so I guess improvements won't come fast. I also tested it on intel and got exactly the same frame rate so it doesn't seem to be GPU related.

I tested Proton 4.15 GE with Witcher 3. The mouse behaviour is broken then. Sometimes the mouse hits an invisible barrier. I do not have this problem, with the official Proton.

Gothic 3 is one of the games atm that runs extremely poorly with D9VK (and wined3d). Reasons unknown.

The thing with the character not being able to look around. To fix it, sometimes you have to alt-tab to another window and then click back into the game window. A bit of a hassle, but not too bad.

that happens to me with Hellblade and Just Cause 4 if I alt tab, the character can't fully turn around anymore only to a limit. Is that your problem? and that happens to me with the official proton too.

I had this issue without alt-tabbing out. It happens randomly but not with the official proton.
