GE-Proton 7-48 out now with updates to DXVK, VKD3D-Proton

GE-Proton v7-48, the community supported version of the Proton translation layer, is out now with upgrades to various components to continue making Steam Deck and Linux gaming better.

Here's what's changed:

• Updated proton-wine bleeding edge.
• Updated vkd3d-proton.
• Updated dxvk.
• Update dxvk-nvapi.

These are all the various components that translates Windows API calls to something Linux understands, and the parts that translates Direct3D to Vulkan.

The developer notes it also includes fixes for Dead Space thanks to pulling in the latest work for each of the above.

On top of that it's noted that a problem with Monster Hunter: Rise is actually a graphics driver issue for the AMD RADV driver, which has fix pending. So the fix for that is expected in a future Mesa driver release.
