Proton-4.21-GE-2

-Grand Theft Auto V fixed. Able to run again. No launch options necessary, winedebug disabled via protonfixes which allows multiplayer to work
-Halo MCC login fixed, allows single player to be played
-DXVK Async has been completely removed. After some discussion after the last release, the author of dxvk, who was also the author of the original async patch has stated it is outdated, and requested it not be used so that to prevent confusion in bug reports and make debugging and fixing things within dxvk easier in the future. This allows bug reports using proton-ge to be more acceptable in terms of DXVK graphical debugging
-PROTON_NO_D3D11,PROTON_NO_D3D10,PROTON_NO_D9VK options have all been removed, because the option PROTON_USE_WINED3D does the same thing for all 3 of these options.
-Proton's gamepad additions patchset has been disabled for the time being, and staging's dinput patches have been re-enabled. I've been informed currently wine-staging handles gamepads a bit better than proton's gamepad additions, so I'll need more feedback on this change.
-FAudio, dxvk, d9vk, vkd3d updated
-FAudio's updates have some additional work regarding xWMA audio format, which is used in warframe. This may allow for less frequent audio crashes, if any.

Known Issues:
-There seems to be a small pre-existing issue with alt-tabbing out of GTA 5 that forces the player on character select/record video. you can just hit f1 to toggle video recording to continue playing.

Test Release MCC 2

Same as the first MCC release but with updated patch from Guy that fixes login without steam runtime modification or gnutls changes needed.

Note from patch author:

"So on a default install of Ubuntu 18.04, it won't work, as libgnutls30 isn't a default package. On Ubuntu 18.04 try installing the package via sudo apt install libgnutls30

Pierre-Loup just needs to apply one commit and it should work universally"

Worked on my Fedora 30 box with no changes needed.

Test release - MCC

This is a test release, ultimately I will remove this release and replace it with ge-4.21-2, but I wanted to make the release available for people to try. This is the same as 4.21-ge-1 but with the halo MCC patch and wine+wine-staging+dxvk updated. It may take a few tries to login to mcc as the patch is quite hacky, but it will eventually work.

Proton-4.21-GE-1

Changes:

-patch for launching origin + origin games inside steam added: ValveSoftware#3239 (note, this still requires registry modification and esync off to work properly: ValveSoftware#3224 (comment))
-commit reverted to fix regression in divinity: os 2 where icons wouldnt show in inventory: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48180
-disable esync when running install script: ValveSoftware#3240 (comment)
-ffxv steam crash fix patch added: ValveSoftware#74 (comment)
-dxvk async enabled by default on path of exile again due to popular request
-"--waitforpreload --nologo --gc2" options added by default for path of exile. no need to add them to launch options.
-dxvk async enabled by default on warframe again due to popular request
-d9vk updated
-dxvk updated
-faudio updated
-vkd3d updated

Notes:
Just a reminder, the async patch has always been a part of my builds, and you can enable it on any game with DXVK_ASYC=1 %command% in the launch options.

I've gone ahead and added this to the README as some people seem to think it was removed at some point. It's always there, just not turned on by default. As mentioned in the patch notes I've re-enabled it as on by default for -just- warframe and path of exile.

Proton-4.20-GE-1

This build is a bit of a replacement for the previous builds which have now been removed. I've had some hit or miss troubles getting this build to a stable point that I wanted it, but all the standard games that worked before without mfplat should work fine. This should serve as a solid base moving forward.

The mf_install verb in protonfixes has been altered. I have removed the mf plat related files and registry entries which are not publicly available directly from Microsoft. I have also removed previously released builds that contained these files. There are two reasons for me doing this:

-The first, is that I wish for this project to stay within legal boundaries that allow it to be shared within Valve's proton bug trackers. The goal of my project is to help progress proton, therefore I do not wish to induce limits which would cause it to be moderated or banned from their bug tracker.

-The second, is that distribution of Microsoft libraries beyond Microsoft doing so directly, is illegal. Therefore I've removed those libraries from the mf_install verb's download list, and the corresponding registry entries. The only ones which remain are the ones which are supplied by Microsoft directly and are publicly available via KB976932.

Fixes:

-fixed fullscreen hack to work with downscaling such as vanilla proton
-added fix for fullscreen hack that allows integer scaling: ValveSoftware/wine#69
-patches for skyrim skyui status effect icons. icons now show up.
-patches for shadow of the tomb raider with vkd3d. game now runs with vkd3d again
-patches for gta v rockstar launcher and game. launcher and game now function correctly
-patches for origin downloads regression fix. origin should now download games and verify existing installed games (mostly) properly.
-adds stub so that star wars jedi: fallen order works - note, I have not tested the steam verson, only the origin version.
-patches for mk11 added. fixes mk11 launch crash. still needs mfplat
-the mk11 patch has a new envvar which is enabled only for mk11 and skyrim se: WINE_MEM_ALLOC_MOD. This patch is problematic in some other games, so it was better to set it off by default and only enable it with an envvar. I have set the envvar automatically in protonfixes for these two games.
-Fix for warhammer: chaosbane hair glitch in dxvk
-Fix for warlock: master of the arcane new game freeze in d9vk
-rawinput patches disabled (again), as it's currently broken (again).
-re-enabled commit that fixes alt-tabbing in most desktop environments: ValveSoftware/wine@a867509. Note, This causes the XFCE panel to appear above some games.
-The spinlocks portion of the fsync patch has been removed in order to improve stability
-d9vk updated
-dxvk updated
-faudio updated
-vkd3d updated

Known issues:
-mk11 has desync issue with online matches (online matches will not work).

Many games require mfplat functionality that does not come with proton or normal wine. It is very likely that without these libraries, some games will not function properly. The games that currently rely on mfplat and -may- be affected by the changes in the above mentioned "Notice" are:

*Note: Media Foundation fixes are an ongoing work and not guaranteed to work for all games. This is a preliminary step. Improvements still need to be made to the mf_install verb for protonfixes

Typical installation/usage notes:

Open ~/.steam/root/
Create compatibilitytools.d folder
Extract archive to ~/.steam/root/compatibilitytools.d/.
Close and re-open steam
Right click the game and click Properties
At the bottom of the General tab, Check "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool
Then select Proton-4.11-GE-1 from the drop down and click CLOSE.

Extra notes regarding Warframe:

1) Warframe needs xboxdrv installed and running on the system:

For instructions on setting up xboxdrv, see:

Step 7 here:
https://gitlab.com/GloriousEggroll/warframe-linux/wikis/Ubuntu-Install-Instructions

Or Step 6. here:
https://gitlab.com/GloriousEggroll/warframe-linux/wikis/Arch-Install-Instructions

2) Set vsync on/off in game, not auto.

3) Turn off bulk downloads in the launcher otherwise large updates will fail. This will remove the progress bar and the launcher will simply say "Checking for Content" until it completes.
