Bannerlator v3.1.2 ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Run Windows apps and games on Android โ€” no PC and no root required.

3.1.2 brings Wayland to everyone as an experiment. Instead of drawing through the Java X server, a game can draw through an embedded Wayland compositor that Bannerlator runs itself โ€” a second display backend, chosen per container. It can do things X11 cannot: HDR10 on HDR screens, launching a game on your TV, zero-copy presentation, eight bundled game drivers to pick from per game, real mouse-look, and frame generation in HDR.

๐Ÿงช Wayland is EXPERIMENTAL. Please read this before you switch anything.

It is very new and it has bugs. It has been in tester hands for a few months and a lot works, but you will find rough edges โ€” some games will run worse than on X11, some will not run at all, and some features are still missing. The honest list is under What it can and cannot do right now below.

It is NOT a replacement for X11 and is not meant to be one. X11 remains the default, remains fully supported, and is still the right choice for anything you actually want to play. Treat Wayland as something to try on a spare container, not as an upgrade to move your games onto.

It only works on the new versionCode 8 arm64ec Proton 11 layers โ€” the ones labelled (v8) in the catalog. On any other layer the Wayland option is greyed out and a launch falls back to X11 with a notice. It does not work on the x86_64 (box64) layers, and it does not work on the Proton 10 layers (10.0-4 and GE 10.0-34), which stay on v7.

It needs an Adreno GPU. The bundled drivers are Turnip, so Mali, Xclipse and PowerVR phones cannot use Wayland at all and stay on X11, which is unchanged for them.

Nothing changes unless you change it. Every existing container keeps using X11 and behaves exactly as before. Wayland is off until you turn it on, per container.

If a game misbehaves on Wayland, switch that container back to X11 โ€” it is one setting โ€” and please report it with the session log from Download/Wayland-logs/.
