Proton Experimental brings lots of bug fixes, controller support in a few launchers

Valve pushed out a new upgrade to Proton Experimental, their staging ground for public-testing of what will eventually make its way into a main Proton release for playing Windows games on Linux Desktop and Steam Deck. The April 12th update is quite an interesting one too.

This fixes several bugs, but the most interesting addition is adding controller support to some different game launchers.

They’re now making use of an open source tool called Xalia, which is a program that provides a gamepad UI for traditional desktop applications. So far this has been integrated for the launchers in Red Faction, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (the original), Clustertruck and Mugsters.

Here’s a link to the Xalia project
