Valve released Proton 10.0-3, the latest main stable version of the compatibility layer to run Windows games on Linux / SteamOS machines like Steam Deck. And now the Steam Machine and Steam Frame too of course whenever they arrive sometime in 2026.

The secret sauce that makes Linux gaming so amazing now, enabling tens of thousands of games to run well, just not those with certain types of anti-cheat which is a continuing problem. It’s been a long road to get here, with Proton 10 being in some form of Beta since April. But it’s here now!

    Thank you! Sadly its still giving errors :( Proton Experimental “Couldn´t start: “VotV-Win64-Shipping.exe” VotV CreateProces() returned 2” 9.0-4 and lower “The following component(s) are required to run this program: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime”

    Also looking online, it seems to be a pretty common issue and no one has found an answer as of yet (far as we’ve seen. granted were not good at this stuff/havent looked for an answer for a few months now lol)

      Can you link the game? I caught the flu and so have a bit of spare time to debug. Just want to make sure I’m not looking at the wrong game
