GE-Proton 9-12 released with fixes for Star Citizen, Bully: Scholarship and more

Another fresh release of GE-Proton with version 9-12 has landed, bringing in upstream changes from official Valve projects, plus some game-specific fixes for Linux / Steam Deck gamers.

This is the community-build of Proton, not to be confused with the official Proton from Valve. You'll find GE adds specific fixes that Valve often can't (due to legal reasons) but GE comes with less testing and support. Usually you only want to use it for specific games until they work properly in Valve's Proton, or for using Proton outside of Steam like in Heroic and Lutris. See more about Proton in my guide.

Here's all the changes:

proton:

• added latest upstream proton changes.
• added latest upstream steamclient changes.
• updated wine to latest bleeding edge.
• updated dxvk to latest git.
• updated vkd3d to latest git.

protonfixes:

• libmspack, xrandr, cabextract are now built as part of the proton-ge build process instead of being included as prebuilt binaries (thanks R1kaB3rN).
• winetricks updated to latest git.
• star citizen protonfix updated (thanks marcan).
• fix added for Full Metal Daemon Muramasa (thanks R1kaB3rN).
• fix install location of xlive.dll for xliveless (thanks ProjectSynchro).
