Key Improvements in dwproton 11.0-10
The latest build focuses on accessibility for anime-styled games that have historically required complex configurations to function on Linux. The primary changes include:
- Signature Workaround: The game now works out of the box using a method that allows for community-driven development, moving away from restrictive signing keys.
- Launcher Fixes: The update resolves issues where the Netmarble Launcher failed to update correctly.
- Window Decorations: A patch imported from Proton-EM improves window decoration handling for CEF-based launchers, such as HoYoPlay.
- NIKKE Compatibility: The update fixes an issue where the NIKKE protonfix would not auto-apply correctly on Steam.
How to Install
For those looking to play Honkai: Star Rail on Linux, SteamOS, or the Steam Deck, the recommended method involves using the Heroic Games Launcher to manage the Epic Games Store version of the game. Once installed, users can utilize ProtonPlus to download and apply the dwproton 11.0-10 version to their game instance.
