A new Proton GE was released yesterday, bringing with it some minor fixes and updates. All the components have been updated to their latest, while we now have fixes for games like God of War Ragnarok, GTA V, and Assassin’s Creed. There was also a new setting added to more easily allow wayland to detect the primary monitor.
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.
Proton GE 10-34 Update Changelog:
Proton:
- update latest wine bleeding-edge
- update latest dxvk
- update latest dxvk-nvapi
- update latest vkd3d-proton
- update latest vkd3d
- update latest FEX
- import proton script game fixes from upstream

Protonfixes:

- added protonfix for GOG version of Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD
- added protonfix for cpu topology for Assassin's Creed 1
Patches:
- patches: Enable .exe dynamic relocation. For XIV specifically, this fixes issues with low address space being filled up by everyone and everything and, as a result, some plugins failing to apply their hooks and leaving the game in an unstable state.
New Features:
- add new PROTON_WAYLAND_MONITOR to allow easier setting of WAYLANDDRV_PRIMARY_MONITOR
- attempt to detect and set primary monitor if wayland is enabled and no primary is setHow these work:
You can now specify something like PROTON_WAYLAND_MONITOR=HDMI-A-1 to specify which monitor the wine-wayland driver uses when enabling wayland. Previously you could already do this using WAYLANDDRV_PRIMARY_MONITOR, but it wasn't documented. PROTON_WAYLAND_MONITOR is now an easier to remember envvar for setting that value. Additionally by default if no WAYLANDDRV_PRIMARY_MONITOR is set when enabling wine-wayland, GE-Proton will now attempt to use xrandr to detect the default primary monitor set by the desktop environment, and if found, display on that monitor, just like xwayland does.
