SteamOS which is the operating system that the Steamdeck uses is Linux based. Most of these games don't natively support Linux. Proton is the compatibility layer that converts Windows commands to Linux commands that allow these games to be playable. Like any piece of software, updated versions are released. Switching to a different version can sometimes resolve issues.

GE Proton is a community managed version of Proton sees more frequent updates. This is especially relevant for new releases (or some older ones which might not be getting official attention) which might run poorly, or not at all on the official pron.

Thank you, and the issue has been fixed already but you got me interested on that bit where there is a version that gets more updates than the original, is it difficult and tech savy to switch proton versions on my deck? and I am understanding that if I do, then I am tasked with manually updating and looking up said updates as opossed to automatic updates from the official version, correct?
