Valve Software has released an updated version of Proton 8.0. Proton is a tool based on WINE for use with the Steam client, which allows games that are exclusive to Windows to run on the Linux operating system.



Proton 8.0-2

Note: Proton 8.0 requires a GPU that supports Vulkan 1.3.

  • Fixed Baldur's Gate 3 getting stuck on a black screen in Vulkan mode.
  • Fixed Divinity: Original Sin: Enhanced Edition and Divinity Original Sin II: Definitive Edition crashing on launch.
  • Fixed Path of Exile crashing.
  • Fixed memory leak in Trackmania and Ubisoft Connect overlay.
  • Improved Elden Ring compatibility compared to Proton 8.0-1. It can still be finicky.
  • Fixed Red Dead Redemption 2 and other games not starting after switching from Proton Experimental
    to stable.
  • Added a temporary workaround for EA Launcher crashing. Steam Deck's on-screen keyboard may not
    pop up automatically while using it.
