I'm only getting improvements as time goes on, they're incremental so it can be a bit hard to notice from day to day. Overall it's a very solid experience so far.

Yeah it's not like you'll notice a huge difference, unless your specific game starts/stops working. Otherwise incremental fixes to dx12 or embedded video playback is kind of elementary. For example, Spyro Reignited Trilogy in particular seems to break / get fixed periodically, possibly due to the way they did cutscenes in that game.

I totally forgot I owned that game on Xbox...

The biggest thing i've noticed with proton updates is I no longer have to hunt down specific proton versions, or use GE Proton anymore, or even use launch arguments

Every game I've played just runs flawlessly with proton experimental now.
