Proton Experimental fixes up Halo MCC, Ubisoft Connect, Creativerse

Valve has released an update to Proton Experimental, bringing with it a few nice fixes for issues in various games so here's a run over what's changed.

This update was released June 6th as Valve continue to roll out upgrades to Proton Experimental first, before they merge them into the main Proton 8.0-x releases.

For newly supported games they're listing The Lord of the Rings: Gollum, not that I imagine many people are bothered by it with it being one of the worst releases this year. The more interesting changes are elsewhere that includes:

• Fixed flipped videos in Secret of Mana and other titles.
• Fixed Call of Duty 2 hanging when loading maps.
• Fixed Creativerse hanging while exiting from a local game.
• Fixed Ubisoft Connect intermittently having an invisible window.
• Fixed a few Proton 8.0 regressions:
  • DJMAX RESPECT V is playable again.
  • Halo: The Master Chief Collection menus no longer are broken.

Full changelog can be seen here.
