Version 11.0-20260702

on GitHub

• Proton (SLR and Native)
  • Updated to Proton Experimental 11.0-20260701b
  • Added winepipewire.drv driver for Wine to directly use Pipewire instead of using winepulse.drv and going through pipewire-pulse. Thanks to @M0n7y5.
    • The driver is enabled by default. To disable it and use winepulse.drv set PROTON_USE_PIPEWIRE=0.
    • You can also use WINE_AUDIO_DRIVER to set the list of drivers for wine to choose from. The default list is pipewire,pulse,alsa. For example WINE_AUDIO_DRIVER=pulse will use winepulse.drv exclusively.
    • When reporting issues with winepipewire.drv remember to use PROTON_LOG=warn+pipewire,warn+mmdevapi %command% for create meaningful logs.
    • You can make sure the game uses winepipewire.drv either through pw-top or by looking at the audio device names in the game itself which should include (Pipewire) in their name.
  • Imported amdxc64 changes from Proton-EM to enable FSR4 4.1.1 on all supported hardware. Thanks to @Etaash-mathamsetty.
  • Due to the updates regarding FSR4 and the update to version 4.1.1 of amdxcffx64.dll the following things have been adjusted accordingly.
    • The amdxcffx64.dll driver dll is copied automatically, there is no need to use PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE any more, although the environment variable remains to request a specific version of the dll ( restricted to 4.0.0 and 4.1.1 only right now ).
    • It's worth noting here that when using the OptiScaler integration, PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE will accept more versions than just 4.0.0 and 4.1.1 and it will control the version of the respective FidelityFX SDK dlls.
    • It is not possible anymore to manually provide different amdxcffx64.dll dll versions through the protonfixes cache. It was ugly and confusing anyways. I am glad it's gone.
    • Since the dll is always present the following shorter environment variables will also work.

      Variable	Description
      FSR4_UPGRADE	Upgrade FSR3/4 to newer FSR4 (FP8 or I8) using AMD's FSR 4.1.1 amdxcffx64.dll taken from Proton Experimental. This option is not needed on RDNA2-4 discrete GPUs.
      MLFG_UPGRADE	Enables FSR4 MLFG upgrade to use redstone frame generation. Can be used in tandom with FSR4-I8 on RDNA3 using DXIL_SPIRV_CONFIG=wmma_rdna3_workaround.

    • Removed PROTON_FSR4_RDNA3_UPGRADE as setting DXIL_SPIRV_CONFIG=wmma_rdna3_workaround is not required any more in most cases, with the exception of enabling MLFG on RDNA3 (see table above).
    • Removed PROTON_FSR3_UPGRADE, it has been renamed to PROTON_FFX3_UPGRADE. You do not need to ever use this under normal circumstances.
    • To make it a bit confusing again, the versions controlled through PROTON_FFX4_UPGRADE can also be controlled through PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE when OptiScaler is enabled, to remain somewhat compatible with existing configurations.
    • I am still considering how to make all this a bit more streamlined and consistent, so expect changes in this area in the future.
  • Added the DualSense 5 patches that were skipped previously due to the rebase to Proton 11.0. Thanks to @xzn.
  • Added some stubs to dnsapi which should allow iRacing to run. The anti-cheat blocks the game from fully working. Thanks to @DanFraserUK. MRs: CachyOS/wine-cachyos#18 https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/11208
  • Fixed Surviving Mars crashing after loading into the start menu along with some other audio-related issues. Thanks to @NelloKudo. Issue: #233 #236
  • Fixed compile-time configuration for GStreamer, specifically enabled glib-checks again, as disabling them caused some issues with media playback since Wine depends on the APIs they provide for fault checking. Thansk to @NelloKudo.
  • Updated d7vk to version v1.12.
  • Improved the Vulkan version detection and the underlying API to also check for driver versions and extensions in the future. Thanks to @CommandMC.
  • Added PROTON_ADD_CONFIG environment variable to supply configuration through compatibility configs instead of environment variables. It accepts a comma-separated list of compat configs. If you are wondering what these are, they are the first column in the tables of environment variables in the documentation.
  • Enabled the compiler item in DXVK_HUD by default. Since there are too many invalid reports due to shader compilation from new users, this should provide a visual feedback aid of what is going on.
• Proton (SLR specific)
  • None
• Proton (Native specific)
  • None
• Wine (Standalone)
  • None
