Proton Experimental fixes up Persona 5 Royal, UNCHARTED and quite a few more

Valve has released a fresh update to Proton Experimental, and it fixes up quite a few games not working correctly or at all for both Linux and Steam Deck.

As of the October 28th update these are noted to be newly playable:

• Persona 5 Royal.
• UNCHARTED: Legacy of Thieves Collection.
• Gotham Knights.

All of which worked on Steam Deck but did not launch correctly on desktop Linux, so now they should!

Other improvements include:

• Fix Super House of Dead Ninjas, Enemy Mind, and Out There Somewhere frame hitching every few seconds.
• Fix on-screen keyboard popping up every time when starting A Plague Tale: Requiem on the Steam Deck.
• Fix Alone in the Dark 3 failing to launch with recent Proton versions.
• Fix Lost Lands: Dark Overlord, Lost Lands: Dark Lord, Lost Lands: Redemption, and Haunted Hotel: Silent Waters Collector's Edition crashing when trying to set a wallpaper.
• Fix Jurassic World Evolution 2 bad performance with recent Proton versions.

Changelog available here. As a reminder (for desktop), you now need Mesa 22 / Nvidia drivers 510.47 or newer for Proton Experimental.
