  • Removed the HDR option as now Proton-CachyOS and EM-Proton enables it by default when using the Wayland driver.
    GE-Proton and DW-Proton still need the environment variable to enable HDR for now.
  • Removed the 'Smaller banners' option.
    Now the Banners interface mode has a zoom slider to adjust the banner size.
  • Reworked the Categories UI.
    I wasn't happy with the previous UI - too poluted.

  • Fixed an issue that prevented games from running with the Nouveau and NVK drivers.
  • Removed a visual effect that was causing visibility issues in the Global Environment Variables section.
  • Removed the old GAMEID logic. This fixes some Protonfixes not being applied.
  • Fixed an issue that caused Proton Manager to freeze when a Proton installation failed to finish. Thanks @EyKettle
  • Another attempt to fix the EA App issue.
    As you know, the EA App breaks every time it gets updated.
    I've been trying to work around this problem for quite some time.
    This is the last attempt.
    If it doesn't work, I will have to remove EA App support until it becomes functional with Proton, if that ever happens.
  • Now extracts the best resolution icon from the executable.
  • Fixed missing translations in the splash window.
  • Icons in the shortcut window and splash window now have better resolution.
  • A lot of code refactoring, removal of leftover code, and minor fixes. Thanks @Ganeron11
  • Updated the Polish translation. Thanks @Ganeron11
  • Updated the Japanese translation. Thanks @skyhighcaterpie
  • The HDR option now sets DXVK_HDR=1 instead of PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1.
    GE-Proton-10 still requires PROTON_ENABLE_HDR.
    You must set it manually in Global Environment Variables or in the game's Launch Arguments.
  • The splash window now displays the game's icon instead of the Faugus icon.
