![Proton Experimental Update Fixes Once Human, Alan Wake, and Other Third-Party Launchers 1 Proton Experimental - Once Human](https://steamdeckhq.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/OnceHumanStock1-1024x576.webp)
A new Proton Experimental update was released yesterday with some fixes for different games, as well as for different launchers. Ubisoft Connect should stop requiring a manual login with a new prefix for some games, like Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon, and text should now be displayed for the EA Desktop Launcher. As for the games, Once Human won't crash when trying to join a server on fresh Proton Prefixes, Burnout Paradise Remastered won't crash when an input video device is plugged in, and Alan Wake 1's American Nightmare DLC should be playable again on Steam Deck.
Your Steam Deck 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.
