From Proton-5.11-GE-1-MF release:
-Temporary removal of esync, 5.10+ did a large rework of ntdll which broke compatibility with esync. The patchset needs to be rebased. It is currently disabled in staging.
-Temporary removal of fsync - fsync relies on esync. No esync = no fsync.
After ironing out a lot of the major bugs since 5.11, I've realized that while some games run well enough without esync/fsync, the majority of games, specifically triple A titles, really need esync/fsync, especially when running on lower end hardware.
SO, what I've done is taken -all- of the fixes from the 5.11 versions and upstream that are major/relevant that I could recall, and backported them to the 5.9 build. This returns esync/fsync functionality, and also enables some games to run correctly that weren't running in 5.11.
Valve's current latest stable proton version is currently 5.9-11, likely for the same reason (esync/fsync).
F.Ultra
However, while Valve is probably not going to be re-basing proton on a newer version of wine until that functionality is fixed, I wouldn't say progress is halted. Like ix900 said, Valve is working on a bunch of different aspects. I believe Anti-cheat and DRM support is a part of that workload as well. They have plenty to keep them busy even if the proton version isn't going to have a "major" bump anytime soon.

I've been using GloriousEggroll's fork for a while which has helped several of the titles I play. He/she keeps the fork quite up to date with patches and Wine.

That's what TKG and GE cherry-pick into their repositories. Proton itself is just a bunch of python scripts to integrate with Steam.
They just don't do all things out in the open and may not update Proton as much as people would like at this time but that's probably a bit of needing more people to throw at it problem.
Saying that its "done" is like saying TKG's Wine is "done" lol. It seems that way right now but Valve has some hard things on the plate. Look who forked VKD3D-Proton, GE from OP's post saying Proton development has slowed lol. GE only has that benefit because of Valve and Proton. Its just not yet available in Proton as it has problems. GE doesn't have a store to consider. https://github.com/HansKristian-Work...etwork/membersLast edited by ix900; 09 October 2020, 09:33 PM.
