  1. Proton

    Compatibility tool for Steam Play based on Wine and additional components

    Proton (Steam Play 2.0) is a set of game-focused patches on top of Wine, plus several other components that improve game compatibility and/or performance. The most notable of these are DXVK, which implements Direct3D 8/9/10/11 APIs in terms of Vulkan, and vkd3d-proton, which does the same for Direct3D 12.

    In many cases, it's possible to get a game running with regular Wine (or Wine-staging) if you install into the Wine prefix not only the game, but also one or more of: DXVK, vkd3d-proton, whatever Microsoft Visual C++ runtime the game wants, and Mono. If a game also needs custom Wine patches, you'll have better luck with a game launcher like Lutris, which automates installing patched Wine versions, or running a Wine build like the one that GloriousEggroll maintained until recently.

    Be sure that your graphics card's Vulkan drivers are installed, and if it's a 32-bit game, all the appropriate 32-bit libraries as well.
