Plus the rest of the fixes and improvements:

  • Added a warning that appears in Proton Log for systems that have low file descriptor limit (e.g. non-systemd distributions).
  • Fixed RAID: World War II randomly hanging on start.
  • Fixed Strip Fighter ZERO not starting on some setups.
  • Fixed Undecember not being playable after a recent game update.
  • Fixed Proton Experimental regression that caused Space Engineers to display black screen instead of the intro video.

All the details can be seen in the changelog. This follows on from the update from August 1st that had plenty of game fixes including The Finals, Starfield and more.

It will show up as an update in your Steam Downloads for Proton Experimental if you already have it downloaded. See more in my Steam Play Proton guide.
