A new Proton GE update has been released that brings in new fixes for games and updates components. We now have fixes for Rocket League, Sword of the Stars, Space Engineers, and Escape From Tarkov, though it still doesn't make the game work with online play. We also have updated components for vkd3d and dxvk, as well as an anti-cheat workaround for The First Descendent so it no longer requires disconnecting.
For those who don't know about Proton GE, how to get it on the Steam Deck, or how to update, check out our Proton GE guide! We go over all of this and explain why having GE is important.
