GE-Proton10-12 Released - Lemmy.World

Hotfix: - Fixed video playback in Ghostwire Tokyo - Fixed video playback in Castlevania Dominus Collection - Possibly other games fixed that use webm/vp8/vp9 video

Just did some testing with the dozen or so titles (mostly Koei Tecmo musous) I have that require very specific GE Proton versions due to the video codec regressions that occurred awhile back and that GE10-12 finally addresses. The results were a mixed bag, but this is definitely a positive and long-overdue step.

A few games were able to shed their late 8.x/early 9.x requirements finally, but others (particularly those released 2015 or earlier) still have the same problems and have to rely on pretty old GE versions… Dynasty Warriors 8 still only fully works on GE7-55, for example.

You seem to have more experience with this stuff than I do, but I’ve always been curious of something. With each major release of wine/proton, (8.0, 9.0, 10.0) is the goal more compatibility or better performance? (Both?) I don’t really see any significant performance gain going from GE-7-55 to GE-9-27, but I do/did notice the better compatibility with newer titles.

Some would say compatibilty but they go hand-in-hand so I’d say both. It’s very game/issue-specific though. Some games/systems will have huge bumps from 7.x to 10.x but others none at all… just depends on why they didn’t have great performance to begin with.

These days Proton is in a good spot so it’s a lot of weird outliers (like the codec thing) that weren’t necessarily showstoppers, or support brand new games need which is why they may seem more significantly impacted.
