Valve has released a major update to its open-source tool which facilitates running Windows games on Linux systems. Proton 9.0 is available now on GitHub, bringing support for a host of games that were only previously only playable using an experimental release. The Proton software, which is derived from the long-running Wine 9.0 project (released in January), has also been tweaked and tuned to be more friendly with Nvidia GPUs and high core count processors.
Considering newly playable titles first, some modern releases like The Finals, Dinogen Online, and The Lord of the Rings: Gollum are now said to be playable on this stable release of Proton 9.0. Some PC classics have also been warmly embraced, most notably several Command & Conquer titles, like Red Alert 2 and Yuri’s Revenge, Tiberian Sun and Firestorm.
