Steam Play Proton 6.3-7 is out now, Proton Experimental gets DLSS for DX12 games on Linux
Two big bits of news for today with two new versions getting released so let's take a look and see exactly what's new for the Windows compatibility layer.
Firstly, NVIDIA announced that DLSS would come to Proton in September for DirectX 11 / 12. Well, their date was a bit off there it seems but Valve / CodeWeavers managed to pull in DLSS support for at least DirectX 12 in Proton Experimental as of September 30. To enable it you need to set PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1, which you can do as a Steam launch option for games like PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 %command% (right click -> properties -> launch options).
Additionally this Proton Experimental release also fixes crashes in Project Wingman, Satisfactory and other Unreal Engine 4 games using the Vulkan renderer.
On top of that Proton 6.3-7 is also officially out now which includes these improvements:
- The following games are now playable:
- Life is Strange: True Colors
- Quake Champions (broken after a game update)
