Baldur's Gate 3 Proton GE 9-21

A new Proton GE update was released with fixes and improvements galore. We have a bunch of upstream and component updates to keep it on par with the newest Proton versions from Valve, while also backporting a fix for edge crashes on Baldur's Gate 3 and Divinity: Original Sin 2. We also have new protonfixes for Dirt 3, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Shredders Revenge, The Callisto Protocol, and Bright Memory.

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.
