A new Proton Experimental update was released a couple of days ago with some nice updates and a new playable game. Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is now playable on the Steam Deck, though it does note that it's only working in Desktop mode. While we haven't tested this ourselves yet, it possibly being playable on the Deck is awesome. We also have some crash fixes for games like SCP Secret Laboratory and Dinogen Online, and Noita mods will no longer fail to update!
Your device will automatically add the new update to the download queue if you already have the layer, and if you don't, you can find it by searching "Proton Experimental" in the search bar.
