GE-Proton8-30 Released

Hotfix:

• fixed EAC not getting loaded. During my ULWGL changes I accidentally made it so steam games werent running using steam.exe inside the prefix... which of course broke EAC games. The code snippet involved is needed so that non-steam games don't try to run using steam.exe and thus dont create the Steam_API error. woops. fixed now.

GE-Proton8-29 Released

• hotfix: updated proton bleeding edge to include tekken 8 online match disconnect fix
• updated vkd3d-proton
• fix issue with drive_c symlink during prefix creation when using ulwgl (it's now possible to run scripted game installations using ulwgl and proton-ge)

GE-Proton8-23 Released

• added reverts for vrclient to allow VRChat to work again (pending proper fix from valve: ValveSoftware#1199 (comment))
• the gstreamer plugin build options have been re-worked. Rather than enabling everything under the sun, we've now manually enabled each option that was reported as enabled in previous builds, and disabled the rest. This was done to more align with what Valve is doing and to allow a clearer picture of what may be missing from Valve's proton rather than taking wild guesses. Doing this may allow Valve a better idea of additional codecs/filters that might be missing in case they need and/or can be enabled. (thanks loathingKernel for taking the time to do this)
• dxvk updated to latest git
• vkd3d-proton updated to latest git
• wine updated to latest bleeding edge
