More extra fixes have come trickling down from Valve with the Steam Deck Beta updated and a new release of Proton Experimental too so here's what's new.

Firstly, for Proton Experimental, there's a newly playable title of Rift. It's a free to play MMORPG. Plus there's a fix for Warframe's launcher displaying an empty window (experimental regression) and a fix for Assassin's Creed Origins hanging during gameplay after recent game update.
