Nioh 3 Proton GE 10-31

A new Proton GE update was released today, adding some fixes to a couple of games while reverting a huge issue from the last update. The winewayland systray icon patch was breaking a good chunk of games, as well as breaking in gamescope on the Deck, so this was disabled for the time being. We also have a fix for Nioh 3's video playback, Warhammer 40K: Darktide crashing, Duet Night Abyss's crash and login window not showing, Akiba's Trip cutscenes, and Vermintide 2's anti-cheat failing file validation.

For those who don't know about Proton GE, how to get it on the Steam Deck, or how to update, check out our Proton GE guide! We go over all of this and explain why having GE is important.
