I'm surprised how fast this project is coming along, I guess most of the hard work is on the Wine side, but its still impressive.
Keen to see what improvements this big jump in Wine versions brings.

Always excited to see a new wine and/or proton release. Looking forward to testing this one especially since it spans so many wine dev releases

I really love Free software and hate DRM, but thank you for what you're doing for Linux Valve and everyone involved. Proton is one of the most important thing which happened to Linux those last year.

Update Steam, I had the same issue, did a check for new updates, it found one and after install the new version was there.

I enabled Steam Beta Client and it showed up as option after update

This comment section is missing "with this Proton version fubar is working."

Ohh, what an unlucky choice 4.2 is. Had they waiting only a little bit longer and used WINE 4.3 instead would they have gotten FAudio with it.
