If a winetrick is found to be missing it tries to install it. During that time it will check if there is an internet connection available. If there is not one, the winetrick is skipped until the next time the game is run and subsequently the winetrick.)
Known Issue:
- wmv video playback regression in some games (one example being Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3). This is a known regression in upstream proton and they are aware/working on it.
There are games that won’t get fixed upstream? I’m curious, do you have any examples?
Certain games need proprietary codecs that will not be included in upstream proton because of licensing. GE is a community project and is therefore not subject to the licensing.
Though it’s worth noting these games are still playable without GE, as long as you’re using Steam. Valve will re-encode the proprietary media to another codec, download that as compatdata, and replace when the game calls for the original files.
If you’re not using Steam then yes, or if the game using the proprietary codec isn’t that popular and was recently launched.
