Another fresh tasty release of GE-Proton is now available, two actually were released in the last day so here's what's new as of GE-Proton 7-53 for Steam Deck and Linux desktop gaming. GE-Proton is built and maintained by the community, it is not affiliated with Valve and the official Proton. See my full Proton guide for more.

Here's what's changed:

• Diablo IV proper fix from proton upstream added.
• Halo Infinite fix/patches from proton upstream added/updated.
• protonfix for Outlaws + A Handful of Missions (thanks Stereophonick).
• protonfix for Underdog Detective (thanks Neodamode).
• dxvk updated to git.
• vkd3d-protonupdated to git.
• wine updated to bleeding edge.
• *Star Citizen specific EAC patch.

*Star Citizen needs other adjustments too including:

Before running Star Citizen
(1) You must set SteamGameId=starcitizen environment variable to trigger the EAC workaround
(2) this script should be run to remove existing EAC files:

#!/bin/sh
if [ -d \"$WINEPREFIX/drive_c/users/$USER/AppData/Roaming/EasyAntiCheat\" ]; then rm -rf \"$WINEPREFIX/drive_c/users/$USER/AppData/Roaming/EasyAntiCheat\"; fi
