  • add upstream patches for Arknights Endfield
  • add pending upstream patch to allow proper placement of systray icons when winewayland is enabled
  • import upstream changes to fix EA games updated em10/wine-wayland patches
  • add changes to allow compiling on aarch64 (yes, proton-ge works on aarch64/ARM! -- still very WIP, YMMV)\

Notes regarding aarch64(ARM):

  • currently needs unreleased version of umu-launcher in order to use, as currently there is no aarch64 version of steam client. the umu-launcher changes will be pushed soon.
  • 32 bit games are hit or miss from my limited testing
  • gog installers need X87ReducedPrecision changed to 0 in Config.json for FEX (inside the Proton version's folder) to allow them to run
  • must stress/reiterate YMMV -- your mileage may vary. The upstream work with proton/fex is NOT something we are involved in. If it works then great, if it doesn't -- don't ask us. It's WIP on Valve's side.

It sounds like a joke, but maybe this memory crunch might get devs to do a bit more work on the efficiency of their games.
