GE-Proton 9-15 released with an important fix for NVIDIA GPUs

Have an NVIDIA GPU? Use GE-Proton? You should probably make sure you're on GE-Proton 9-15 which was just released. This is a "hotfix" build to clear up some problems from the previous recent release.

From the changelog:

Proton:

• Updated wine to latest bleeding edge -- fixes regression in video playback from 9-14.
• Updated dxvk to latest git -- fixes regression which causes black textures and stuttering on NVIDIA cards.
• Updated vkd3d-proton to latest git.
• import upstream changes for lsteamclient.
• update xalia to 0.4.4.

Protonfixes:

• Remove deprecated workaround for Total War Rome 2.

What's GE-Proton? A special community-build of Proton, nothing to do 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.
