FEX 2502 is out today as the newest monthly feature release to this user-space emulator for running x86/x86_64 Linux binaries on ARM64 Linux including the likes of Wine/Proton and Steam for being able to enjoy modern games on AArch64 Linux systems. Due to Steam having updated its Chromium/CEF sources, this ended up causing a problem for FEX while now it's been fixed in the 2502 milestone. FEX 2502 also has a fix for the Wine memory allocator behavior, minor optimizations for the x87 address modes, and other improvements.
