When you’re curious on learn how to improve, you do not really have to do something. Proton and GE-Proton use DXVK instantly, and they also each pull in updates of their new releases. Nonetheless, for many who wish to stay on the wild facet, you can improve the DXVK model in Proton your self. Do it at your individual threat.

To take action you possibly can simply overwrite the prevailing DXVK information with the discharge obtain of the most recent DXVK. You’ll find your Proton set up someplace like this (relying in your Steam Library drives):

For Proton 9 and Proton Experimental:

path-to-your/SteamLibrary/steamapps/frequent/Proton x.x/information

Proton 8 and beneath:

path-to-your/SteamLibrary/steamapps/frequent/Proton x.x/dist

The place x.x is no matter Proton model put in you want to give a brand new DXVK.

Inside there you will note “lib” and “lib64”, for 32bit and 64bit. Inside every of these, there is a “wine” folder and inside there’s a “dxvk” folder and that is the place you substitute the information with new variations. When you mess something up, a technique to make sure it will get reinstalled cleanly is simply to take away the “/dist” folder.
