The next stable Proton update is here, and it has a ton of fixes, improvements, and newly playable games that have been brought over from the Experimental branch. AsteroidsHD, Heroes of the Three Kingdoms 7, Portal Worlds, and Warhammer: Dark Omen are all playable now. We also have some regression fixes for the Command and Conquer games, Homeworld 2 Classic, Resident Evil 2, King of Fighters XIII Global Match, Crysis 2 Remastered, and The Coma 3: Bloodlines.

There are also a ton of general fixes for a plethora of games, including Marvel Rivals, Diablo 4, Metal Gear Solid 5, Arc Raiders, Rocket League, HELLDIVERS 2, Forza Horizon 4-6, DIRT 5, Mirror's Edge Catalyst, Dragon Quest Builders, Portal 2, and HITMAN World of Assassination. We also have multiple components of the Proton layer getting updated, including dxvk, vkd3d, FEX, and Wine-mono.

The new update should automatically be added to the download queue if you have Proton 11 already installed, but if you don't, it can be manually installed by searching for Proton 11 in the store on your Steam Deck.
