Faugus Launcher: Version 2.5.1 released

The Faugus Launcher, a game launcher for Linux to manage Wine and Proton games, has been released in version 2.5.1.

New is a GPU selection option for running games, replacing the previous “Discrete GPU” option. Support for Proton-EM and UMU-Proton has also been dropped. The previous version was 2.5.0.

  • Added an option to select the GPU to run games. On some systems, the Discrete GPU option didn’t work correctly. This option should now detect the GPU more accurately
  • Removed the “Discrete GPU” option
  • Removed Proton-EM support (last update was 6 months ago)
  • Removed UMU-Proton support due to lack of ongoing updates
  • Fixed missing Splash Windows icon in taskbar
  • Fixed Flatpak issue where games remained marked as “already running” when inactive
  • Fixed Steam shortcut detection after moving games to collections
  • Updated translations (Bulgarian, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese (Brazilian), Spanish, Swedish, Ukrainian)
