- Fixed Escape from Monkey Island getting minimized on a mouse click.
- Fixed Overwatch 2 stopping to register controller inputs after an online match has started.
- Implemented English speech recognition for Phasmophobia.
- Fixed Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition failing to launch after a recent game update.
- Fixed Microsoft Flight Simulator crashing in accessibility settings.
- Fixed a few Proton 8.0 regressions:
- Logging in online in Gears 5 works again.
- Doom Eternal no longer crashes with ray-tracing enabled on AMDVLK / Nvidia.
The changelog can be found here.

I got Gears 5 in a bundle with a bunch of games that I was much more interested in, so I wasn't bothered that it didn't work. If it works now I might give it a go at some point. It's a chonker download, though.

I had fun with it. As far as a game goes it's an average shooter, but the character writing is great.
