A new Proton GE update was released that includes some new fixes and updates. All the components have been updated to their latest versions, while we got a fix for Sifu and Winetricks. We also have support for NYSync, which can help with multi-threaded workloads and help performance for some games, while we also have FSR 4 upgrade support.

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 10-9 Update Changelog:

• Added ntsync support:

Enable with PROTON_USE_NTSYNC=1
