Among Us Proton GE

A couple of updates for Proton GE were pushed out over the last two days with some fixes here and there. They included fixing the import of Steam libraries so some games should have fixed video playback, more launchers were patched to work in wayland, the components were updated to their latest versions, and there is now touchpad scrolling support for winewayland.

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 10-2 Update Changelog:

  • Fixes missing comma in proton script causing prefix issues (this was also a valve upstream issue)
  • Fixes accidental import of the steam ffmpeg libraries instead of the ones we build and ship (this was an accidental copy/paste when porting changes from Proton 10) -- this should fix video playback in a lot of titles as they worked in proton 9
  • Removes setting ENABLE_HDR_WSI -- this option is only specific for the vk_hdr_layer (https://github.com/Zamundaaa/VK_hdr_layer) hack, which is -not- needed as of mesa 25.1 and can cause washed out colors. If you previously used this, it's advised to remove it, and update mesa to 25.1 if you want HDR.
  • added a few patches for allowing more launchers to work in wayland (epic, battlenet, star citizen)
  • added patch to allow 32 bit EOS overlay to work for Among Us.
  • added raw input patches for winewayland (un-accelerated mouse)
  • added touchpad scrolling support patch for winewayland
  • xalia library updates imported from upstream
  • dxvk updated to latest git
  • vkd3d-proton updated to latest git

Proton GE 10-3 Update Changelog:

  • added envvar needed for winewayland patch fixes to work (automatically set when PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND is set)
  • added patch so that PROTON_ENABLE/DISABLE_HIDRAW works as expected.
