Valve has released the Proton 7.0-2 project version, which is based on the Wine project codebase and aims to enable the launch of gaming applications created for Windows and listed in the Steam catalog on Linux. The project's developments are distributed under the BSD license.
Proton allows for the direct launch of gaming applications in the Linux Steam client that are only supplied for Windows. The package includes implementations of DirectX 9/10/11 (based on the DXVK package) and DirectX 12 (based on vkd3d-proton), operating through the translation of DirectX calls into the Vulkan API, provides improved game controller support, and enables fullscreen mode regardless of the resolutions supported by the games. To enhance the performance of multithreaded games, support for mechanisms such as 'esync' (Eventfd Synchronization) and 'futex/fsync' is implemented.
In the new version:
- The DXVK layer, which provides implementations of DXGI (DirectX Graphics Infrastructure), Direct3D 9, 10, and 11, working through the translation of calls into the Vulkan API, has been updated to version 1.10.1.
- VKD3D-Proton, a fork of vkd3d created by Valve to improve Direct3D 12 support in Proton, has been updated to version 2.6.
- Dxvk-nvapi, an implementation of NVAPI on top of DXVK, has been updated to version 0.5.3.
