GE-Proton 9-22 released with lots of game fixes for Linux / Steam Deck

Thank you. I do have decky loader installed, but didn't know about wine caller. Man, looks like there is a huge community behind the deck. I'm new to it. Just got mine like a week ago.

Wine caller is a plugin on decky loader. There are no translation layers involved at all. It works in game mode without having to switch to desktop mode, that's why I went with it. I'm familiar with protonup, I've been running Linux as my main machine for 7 years now, I'm just new the steam deck.

I don't use decky loader so dunno what Wine caller is, but assuming it runs protonupqt through wine, that's def unnecessary (I guess it could work?). The app is linux native, so you don't need a translation layer like wine.

Thank you. Wine caller on decky loader is doing the job :)

You can also add it as a "non-steam game" and run it without having to switch to desktop mode.

Thank you

Oh I was reading too fast and missed that

That's true for normal Proton but GE is a third party version.

Thank you.

Yes, you install it on the desktop with protonup

Yep, just use Protonup

If you have Decky Loader set-up on your Deck, I might also recommend using the Wine Cellar plugin.

I think it's just a part of the system updates
