Examples cited include Gothic 1 Classic, Deadly Premonition, Metal Gear Survive, Warhammer: Vermintide 2, as well as entries from the Resident Evil and Dino Crisis series.

Launcher fixes have been applied, focusing on EA, Rockstar, and REDLauncher titles. Stability has increased for modern titles and compatibility for older games has also been strengthened.

Proton 11.0 Beta brings DXVK 2.78 and updates VKD3D-Proton components to expand compatibility for games ranging from DX9 to DX12.

To understand the changes, the release notes describe the highlights of the update, without relying on external sources.
