There was a new Proton Experimental update that was released a few days ago that brings in new playable games and fixes. From Dust and DCS World Steam Edition are now playable, while we have fixes for Chrono Trigger, audio crackling for Darksiders Warmastered Edition, and video playback should be working again for GODBREAKERS.

The new Proton Experimental update should automatically download if you already have the experimental layer. If not, just search for Proton Experimental in the Steam store on your Steam Deck and download.
