Sarek9-19 Released
Stable Build:
This release now will be based on GE-Proton9-19, instead of the 9-18 version. Working with DXVK 1.10.3, VKD3D 2.6 and everything added on the prior versions. Tough there are some changes.
Global Prefix Update:
- Restored Global Prefix to Valve’s/GE default configuration.
- Removed outdated customizations initially added to resolve issues that are now addressed in current versions of Wine and Proton.
- Two-week testing confirmed that previous issues are resolved, allowing removal of these customizations to avoid potential conflicts.
- No impact on other customizations: Changes only apply to the Global Prefix. Custom prefixes for specific games, including those from GE-Proton, Wine-GE, and additional Sarek-specific prefixes, remain unaffected.

How to Use Sarek with Non-Steam Games
Recommended and Supported Method (via Steam):
- Add the game as a non-Steam game in your Steam library.
- Go to the game’s properties, enable the "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool" option, and select Sarek from the list.
Why add Non-Steam Games Prefixes to Sarek?:
Adding non-Steam prefixes doesn’t interfere with Steam games; it simply offers a custom environment for enjoying Non-Steam games through Proton. This way, even games outside Steam’s library can benefit from Sarek’s enhancements.
Looking forward, expect more custom prefixes to support modding. My friends and I are passionate about creating and enjoying game mods, and these prefixes will help make that experience smoother for people in general.
Stable Async Build:
This build is similar to the stable version but uses DXVK 1.10.3 Async instead of the regular one.
Thats all for now GLHF :)
