GE-Proton 11-9 发布，改进视频播放、Wayland、控制器等

GE-Proton 11-9 (and GE-Proton 11-8 just before it) have been released to bring more improvements for Windows games on SteamOS / Linux.

Confused on all the Proton versions? Do be sure to check out our guide on all the different versions of Proton and also how to install GE-Proton.

And, in case you missed it as well - the new Epic Games Launcher actually uses GE-Proton for Windows games on Linux too. The developer of GE-Proton said this about it on X (Twitter):

Anyway, all the GE-Proton changes are listed below.

Key Changes GE-Proton 11-9

Video Playback

• Added a fix for Crimson Desert getting stuck after selecting Play or starting a new game due to
  looping menu-video playback. Affects both Wine-Wayland and XWayland.

Rendering and HDR

• Added automatic HDR detection for DX11/DXVK and DX12/VKD3D-Proton with Wine-Wayland or Gamescope.
• PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 and PROTON_USE_HDR=1 are no longer required. HDR must still be enabled in
  the desktop or Gamescope.
• Corrected a Wine-Wayland detection regression that incorrectly reported HDR displays as SDR,
  affecting Dragon's Dogma 2 and other games on compositors without optional Windows-specific color-
  management extensions.
• Preserved SDR fallback when HDR is unavailable or disabled.
• Retained legacy HDR overrides. Use DXVK_NO_HDR=1 to disable HDR reporting.
• Updated the README with automatic HDR setup instructions.

Component Updates

• Updated Wine bleeding-edge, DXVK, VKD3D-Proton, VKD3D, D7VK, DXVK-NVAPI, DXVK-IGDext, FEX,
  lsteamclient, wineopenxr and protonfixes.
• Rebased the downstream patch stack and removed patches superseded upstream.

Controllers

• Added automatic PlayStation-to-XInput fallback when Steam Input is disabled, including
  appropriate controller identity and button origins for supported games. Native controller

  and Monster Hunter Wilds haptics. Addressed audio initialization races and expensive
  controller polling.
• Added Switch Pro/compatible controller XInput support and corrected Dynasty Warriors 8
  DualSense mappings.

Steam Overlay

• Fixed Guide-button overlay not closing under Wine-Wayland, including Labwc and Warframe.

  World of Warcraft crash.

• Fixed startup/minimize recovery for Deadlock on Niri. Added cross-driver suppression of the
  transient minimized-window white rectangle. (#781, [#762]
  (#762)).
• Improved Battle.net tray-menu rendering, positioning, keyboard focus, cursor handling and
  tray recovery.
• Fixed Warframe's missing launcher settings dialog and disappearing cursor.
• Fixed Touhou 11's unwanted fixed-window resizing.

  confinement updates.
• Preserved Assassin's Creed DX10 fullscreen mode across Alt+Tab.

Video Playback

• Improved VRChat YouTube, HTTP MP4, HLS, MPEG-TS and RTSP playback, including URL
  compatibility, playlists, seeking, pause/resume, audio synchronization and periodic
  streaming stalls.

  Jack.
• Fixed Way of the Samurai 4 movie-skipping crashes.
• Improved King of Fighters XIII and Taito Type X2 movie compatibility, added DirectDraw
  video-overlay emulation, and fixed a seeking deadlock affecting SNK Heroines.

Rendering and HDR

• Added reported-working StarCraft II GPU-hang workaround. ([#790](https://github.com/
  /issues/790)).
• Fixed Meridian: New World's dark lighting and scrolling flicker through Wine-Mono/FNA
  stencil-state fixes.

  improvements. (#777).

  problems.
