Total War: Shogun 2 Proton GE 9-5

The next update for the popular community fork of Proton, Proton GE, has been released, and it comes with a solid amount of fixes! Of course, we have the components updated to their latest git (dxvk, vkd3d, wine), and the Steam client matches the upstream, but the big draw of this update is the new protonfixes included with it.

We have fixes for The Witcher 2, Call of Juarez Gunslinger, Total War: Shogun 2, the Oddworld Oddysee games, Overworld 2, and plenty more. We also have video playback fixes for games using Windows Media Player 9 video playback. This primarily helps the newer Yzuzsoft visual novel titles, but it's great to see regardless!

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.
