Edit2: Updated for two follow-up releases:

Hotfix: Apparently yesterdays build was missing the normal proton packaged Gecko and Mono (the file size was significantly smaller than usual). This build fixes that.
This is a minor hotfix release that just syncs proton-wine and dxvk with upstream versions from today. A user complained they were seeing some odd CPU+GPU usage in 8-7 but was fine in today's proton-experimental. After testing with this build based on today's experimental they confirmed it was working here too.

New in both GE-Proton and Wine-GE-Proton:

FSR IS BACK!!! Huge shoutout/thank you to Ph42oN for completely rebasing, updating and combining all of the old FSR patches to make them compatible with Proton 8.
Additionally a bug was fixed by Ph42oN with fullscreen not working properly when fsr is disabled which was present in proton 7
proton-wine updated to latest git

In GE-Proton only:

protonfix for Oceanhorn removed as it's no longer needed (thanks Iglu47)
protonfixes added for Neptunia Re;Birth 1 & 2 (thanks NishiyamaPedro)
dxvk updated to latest git
vkd3d-proton updated to latest git
dxvk-nvapi updated to latest git
upstream build changes pulled in

GE-Proton (proton-ge-custom on github) depends on and is built for use only in Steam, alongside Valve's official Proton releases. When installed, it shows up in Steam's "compatibility tool" list.

Wine-GE-Proton (wine-ge-custom on github) is a custom version of Wine with some hand-picked patches from Proton's source code, built to run without Steam, either standalone or with game launchers like Lutris.

Yes, GloriousEggroll is terrible at naming. But he's doing a good job with functionality, so getting used to his confusing names is worthwhile if you have a need for this stuff. :)

It's wine-ge-custom, not wine-ge-proton.

wine-ge-custom and proton-ge-custom.

[–] ono@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s wine-ge-custom, not wine-ge-proton.

Tell GloriousEggroll. The text you're trying to correct was copied directly from the release page:

"Wine-GE-Proton8-11 Released"

[–] kogasa@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, I guess he did call it that. The repo is named wine-ge-custom, as is the AUR package.

[–] ono@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

The repo is named wine-ge-custom

Indeed, as already noted in my comment explaining the difference between the two.

[–] Grass@geddit.social 2 points 1 year ago

I think proton needs steam to work properly but wine proton has proton patches without steam dependency

Thanks for sharing. What is this "FSR"?

[–] Norodix@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

AMD's fidelity super resolution. A GPU upscaler.

[–] M_Reimer@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks. Sounds interesting. Unfortunately I'm still on Nvidia.

[–] EddyBot@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

FSR works on Intel and Nvidia graphics too

[–] potajito@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Is there any noobs guide to get this on lutris?

[–] SpicyTofuSoup@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How long has FSR been broken? Is it also broken on valves release of proton?

[–] Keegen@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Valve's Proton never included the build-in FSR that GloriousEggroll's Proton builds had. And it's been gone since GE-Proton 8-1.

[–] SpicyTofuSoup@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago

Does that just allow you to use FSR in games that don’t support FSR on their own?
