When using Gloriouseggroll wine-GE-Proton, Lutris says incompatible version detected and that it doesn't support fsync?

Click on the proton-wine @ whatever git submodule link. Currently that'd be proton-wine @ 5037a92, taking you to the proton-wine source tree on which the build was based before applying various wine-staging and other patches.

FSR is back with the latest GE Wine/Proton release: https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/releases
2 projects | /r/linux_gaming | 23 Jul 2023

This is big, at least for some of us. I honestly stopped at the last FSR enabled GE, which was around GE-Proton7-55, and planned to stay there for as long as possible. Don't know who Ph42oN is, but deserves tons of respect for make it again possible. Yes, gamescope was/is another way, but I very much prefer this one. https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/releases/tag/GE-Proton8-7 https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/wine-ge-custom/releases/tag/GE-Proton8-11
