Update 10/31 - A small Proton GE 9-18 update was released that adds a missing script that fixes prefix creation. Download 9-18 instead of 9-17 if you plan to get the new layer.

Elder Scrolls Oblivion Proton GE

A new Proton GE update was released today that doesn't really introduce any major changes but does update some components and has a couple of fixes. The community-created compatibility layer had wine, dxvk, and vkd3d have all been updated, while some upstream fixes and ICU building+linking has been imported from the upstream. As for fixes, an audio fix for Mini Ninjas has been implemented, esync/fsync has been disabled for Disgaea 4 to prevent crashes, and typo'd mod support for Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion has been fixed.
