Proton:

• Added patch that adds PROTON_PREFER_SDL option. If PROTON_PREFER_SDL=1 is set proton will not prefer hidraw and instead will expose both sdl and hidraw. it can fix input in a few games when not using steam input
• Added patch that adds PROTON_NO_WM_DECORATION (and WINE_NO_WM_DECORATION) option. If PROTON_NO_WM_DECORATION=1 is set, it sets WINE_NO_WM_DECORATION=1 which will disable window decorations. This can fix an issue where if clicking on a window border in some games in borderless window mode it would click through the border straight to the desktop. By disabling the window decorations it removes the pixel offset caused by them, which is what causes the mouse click confusion.
• Removed previously disabled nvidia latency reflex patches as they have now all been merged with the exception of the winevulkan patches. Winevulkan patches are now applied -- nvidia latency reflex should now work where available.
• updated wine to latest bleeding edge
• updated dxvk to latest git
• updated vkd3d-proton to latest git
• updated vkd3d to latest upstream
• updated dxvk-nvapi to latest upstream
• import steamclient changes from upstream
• import vrclient changes from upstream
• import proton changes from upstream
• fixed configure script issue with autodetection of podman or docker not working, --container-engine option no longer needs specifying during building
• ccache enabled by default in configure script, --enable-ccache option no longer needs specifying during building

umu-protonfixes:

• Add functionality to symlink save data from another game's prefix, a few games would benefit from this (Thanks UsernamesAreNotMyThing):

<br />How this works

    Reads Steam's steamapps/libraryfolders.vdf file to find locations of known library folders.

    Iterates through each of the library folders to determine if it can find a compatdata/(APPID) folder in it.

    If it finds one, it will create a symlink in the current game's prefix to point to the location in the found prefix, at the location the game expects to find the save data folder for the other game.

Games impacted

    Final Fantasy VII Rebirth: Has bonus content (or something, I don't know what) for players with save data from FF7 Remake Intergrade, which would be found in the documents folder.

    Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered: Allows playing saves from the original Complete Edition, which are stored in the documents folder.

    Metaphor ReFantazio: Allows continuing from saves made in its demo, which uses a different ID and thus a different prefix.

    Utawarerumono (Utawarerumono: Prelude to the Fallen and Utawarerumono: Mask of Truth)

How to use the Function inside a protonfix:

def import_saves_folder(from_appid: int, relative_path: str)

Parameters:

    from_appid: The Steam app id for the game whose save data is desired in the prefix for the game you're trying to play.

    relative_path: The location in the drive_c/users/steamuser folder where the game expects the save data for the other game to be. You can find this by looking up the game on [PC Gaming Wiki](https://pcgamingwiki.com/).

    This function will have to be used in the fix scripts for each of the games that need it.

Excerpts:

The Israeli army intensively bombarded residential areas in Gaza when it lacked intelligence on the exact location of Hamas commanders hiding underground, and intentionally weaponized toxic byproducts of bombs to suffocate militants in their tunnels, an investigation by +972 Magazine and Local Call can reveal.

The investigation, based on conversations with 15 Israeli Military Intelligence and Shin Bet officers who have been involved in tunnel-targeting operations since October 7, exposes how this strategy aimed to compensate for the army’s inability to pinpoint targets in Hamas’ subterranean tunnel network. When targeting senior commanders in the group, the Israeli military authorized the killing of “triple-digit numbers” of Palestinian civilians as “collateral damage,” and maintained close real-time coordination with U.S. officials regarding the expected casualty figures.

Some of these strikes, which were the deadliest in the war and often used American bombs, are known to have killed Israeli hostages despite concerns raised ahead of time by military officers. Moreover, the lack of precise intelligence meant that in at least three major strikes, the army dropped several 2,000-pound bunker-buster bombs that killed scores of civilians — part of a strategy known as “tiling” — without succeeding in killing the intended target.

“Pinpointing a target inside a tunnel is hard, so you attack a [wide] radius,” a Military Intelligence source told +972 and Local Call. Given that the army would have only a vague approximation of the target’s location, the source explained, this radius would be as large as “tens and sometimes hundreds of meters,” meaning these bombing operations collapsed multiple apartment buildings on their occupants without warning. “Suddenly you see how someone in the IDF really behaves when given the opportunity to wipe out an entire residential block — and they do it,” the source added.

[...]

In January 2024, a spokesperson for the Israeli army told +972 and Local Call in response to a previous investigation that it “has never used and does not currently use byproducts of bomb deployment to harm its targets, and there is no such ‘technique’ in the IDF.” Yet our new investigation reveals that the Air Force conducted physio-chemical research on the effect of the gas in enclosed spaces, and the military has deliberated over the method’s ethical implications.

Three Israeli hostages — Nik Beizer, Ron Sherman, and Elia Toledano — were definitively killed by asphyxiation as a result of a Nov. 10, 2023, bombing that targeted Ahmed Ghandour, a Hamas brigade commander in northern Gaza. The army told their families that, at the time of the bombing, it was unaware that hostages were being held near Ghandour. However, three sources with knowledge of the strike, which was led by the Shin Bet, told +972 and Local Call there was “ambiguous” intelligence indicating that hostages might be in the vicinity, yet the attack was still authorized.

According to six sources, this was not an isolated case but one of “dozens” of Israeli airstrikes that likely endangered or killed hostages. They described how the military command greenlighted attacks on the homes of suspected kidnappers and the tunnels from which senior Hamas figures were directing the fighting.

While attacks were aborted when there was specific, definitive intelligence indicating the presence of a hostage, the army routinely authorized strikes when the intelligence picture was murky and there was a “general” likelihood that hostages were present in the vicinity of a target. “Mistakes definitely happened, and we bombed hostages,” one intelligence source said.

Israel’s efforts to maximize the chances of killing senior militants hiding underground also included attempts to crush parts of a tunnel network and trap the targets inside. Sources described incidents where vehicles fleeing an attack site were bombed without specific intelligence about who was inside, based on the assumption that a senior Hamas figure might be trying to escape.

“The entire region felt and heard the explosions,” Abdel Hadi Okal, a Palestinian journalist from Jabalia who witnessed several major Israeli bombing operations — which Palestinians often refer to as “fire belts” — during the early weeks of the war, told +972 and Local Call. “Entire residential blocks were targeted with heavy missiles, causing buildings to collapse and fall on top of each other. Ambulances and Civil Defense vehicles were unable to contend with the scale of the bombardment, so people had to use their hands and some light equipment to pull bodies from under the rubble of houses. There was no possibility for anyone to survive.”
