Valve updated Proton Experimental for January 22nd with a bunch more fixes for gamers on Linux, SteamOS and Steam Deck. Like the Battle.net update issue that came up recently that was fixed in a recent GE-Proton update too. Confused on all the Proton versions? Go and read my guide explainer.
Noted as now playable with this update:
- Stronghold Crusader: Definitive Edition Demo.
- Atelier Resleriana: Forgotten Alchemy and the Polar Night Liberator.
Other fixes:
- Fixed non-Steam battle.net installations.
- Fixed desync issue with 60FPS AVPro videos in VRChat.
Fixed Proton 9 regressions:
- Fixed performance degradation in Dirt Rally 2.
Nice to see Valve continue to fix issues with apps people add into Steam like Battle.net, since you can install various third-party standalone stuff using Proton too.

If you have Proton Experimental installed it will show up as an update available in your Steam Downloads.

I am really confused, that's something I'd expect on hotfix not just on experimental. I really don't know what's the purpose of the hotfix by now if those fixes don't come to hotfix (if they don't and, could be that I missed that).

As mentioned in my guide explainer: Proton Hotfix is primarily for specific games when they need it. So it's set in place for that game.
It's not supposed to be constantly updated, that's the entire point of Proton Experimental, which is the testing ground to add everything that affects everything.
