Valve put up a Release Candidate for testing Proton 10.0-4, what will become the main version of the Windows compatibility layer for Linux / SteamOS. The special sauce that enables so many thousands of games to run nicely.

Most of the changes would have already been in Proton Experimental. To test it out you can opt into the Beta on Proton 10 directly in your Steam Library. Valve are interested in finding any issues that didn't happen with the current Proton 10.0-3.

The actual fix is probably 'enable mixed ASCII / Windows-1252 calls to Windows UTF-16 functions', when some strings have different codepages to others', or something silly. But that fix sounds better.

A rising tide lifts all boats - every improvement is welcome
