This guide provides information on how to get the later C&C games to work with a fairly recent version of Proton without encountering desyncs.

Until recently, Linux players were limited to Proton-tkg 5.14.r0.gb71d588d--a 2 year old release that doesn't perform near as well as the 7+ series releases of Proton. The limitation to this version was due to online multiplayer desyncs occurring on newer versions of Proton--the reason being unknown at the time.

The original assumption of the desyncs was due to either the implementation of newer XACT frameworks, FAudio (a better XAudio2 implementation), or a combination of the two. This is now verified to be incorrect.
