→Overview
Proton is based on [[Wine]] and includes additional components like DXVK (a library that translates Direct3D 9, 10 and 11 calls to Vulkan on-the-fly), vkd3d-proton (a library that translates Direct3D 12 to Vulkan) and FAudio (an XAudio reimplementation). As a Steam Play feature, it avoids having to set up an additional Steam installation for Wine, which used to be the only way to get Windows-only Steam games working on Linux.
As of late 2020mid-2021, most the only games that are still not working don't work with Proton are mostly multiplayer games , using third-party anticheat anti-cheat systemsthat are either unaware of Proton as a legitimate gameplay tool or deliberately flagging it as an unfair advantage for some weird reason.
