Valve Proton 11 released, adds support for Resident Evil and Dino Crisis

Proton 11 brings Wine 11.0 base and updated DXVK components

Proton 11.0-1 is now available as Valve’s latest stable Steam Play compatibility layer.

The release is based on Wine 11.0 and brings a long list of game-specific fixes. Proton allows Windows games to run on Linux through Steam, including SteamOS systems such as Steam Deck.

Valve says several games are now playable after previously requiring Proton Experimental. The list includes Universe Generator: The Golden Sword, DCS World Steam Edition, Resident Evil (1996), Resident Evil 2 (1998), Dino Crisis, Dino Crisis 2, From Dust, Blaite, METAL GEAR SURVIVE, Warhammer: Vermintide 2, Metal Fatigue and SHOGUN: Total War.

More games added to the playable list

Proton 11 also adds newly playable support for Unknown Faces, Gothic 1 Classic, X-Plane 12, Breath of Fire IV and Deadly Premonition. This makes the stable branch more useful for users who do not want to rely on Proton Experimental for specific titles.

The update also fixes issues in many games that were already running through Proton. Valve mentions fixes for Phasmophobia voice chat, Sea of Solitude black screen issues, Crimson Desert intro video playback, Call of Duty 2 mouse movement, Death Stranding 2 launcher rendering and Helldivers 2 crashes during high enemy-count missions.

Dino Crisis (1996)

Controller and launcher fixes

The release improves controller hotplug support for the 8BitDo Ultimate 2C and other controllers that expose multiple HID devices. Valve also fixed an issue where Hollow Knight could register the Steam Deck’s Steam button as a left trigger after a game update.

Proton 11 also improves Rockstar Launcher pop-up rendering and fixes REDLauncher behavior in games such as Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3. Valve says REDLauncher should no longer take a long time to exit.

Other fixes cover No Man’s Sky VR mode, Microsoft Flight Simulator VR controller tracking, KDE window maximization, Brighter Shores window resizing, Space Engineers dual-monitor support and Titanfall 2 keyboard-input stutter.

The component list has also changed. Proton 11.0-1 uses Wine 11.0, Xalia 0.4.9, vkd3d 1.19-139-g30b93dcea8b0, DXVK 2.7.1-467-g83e503b4ae6d, dxvk-nvapi 0.9.1, Wine Mono 11.0.0 and vkd3d-proton 20260410.
