A new update to Proton GE has been released, and it's definitely a hefty one! We have updates to all the components, as usual, as well as importing proton updates from Valve. There are also fixes for save imports for Monster Hunter Wilds, a fix for PowerWash Adventure, and Ubisoft Connect fixes for Ghost Recon: Wildlands and Rainbow Six: Siege. An Epic Games Registry fix was also applied, which should affect any games played through the Epic Games Store.
