Proton Experimental updated for Tony Hawk's, Halo Infinite, Resident Evil 4 Separate Ways

A freshly brewed Proton Experimental release just went out today which includes a bunch of fixes for various games. Here's your usual run over what's improved for Steam Deck / Linux desktop. This is the version of Proton that gets updates before the main stable version, which recently updated to Proton 8.0-4.

Noted as newly playable with this release is: Grotesque Tactics: Evil Heroes.

Here's the fixes:

• Fixed multiplayer in NASCAR Heat 5.
• Fixed issues with connecting to online services in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 (previously fixed in Proton Hotfix).
• Fixed Resident Evil 4 Separate Ways crashing on AMD GPUs (previously fixed in Proton Hotfix).
• Fixed Elite Dangerous crashing when opening external links.
• Fixed audio issues when playing intro video in Airborne Kingdom.
• Fixed Halo Infinite crashes on SteamOS Beta / Main.
• Fixed wrong scaling in MareQuest: An Interactive Tail and Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 on Steam Deck when set to fullscreen.

Changelog can be found over here.
