Feature Request

Update dxvk to a newer version on proton experimental (2.0 or 2.1)

I confirm:

  • [x] that I haven't found another request for this feature.
  • [x] that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available that
    contain this feature already.

Description

I would like the packaged in dxvk to be update to a newer version, preferably version 2.0 or the latest version. I have found that some games that don't run through any of the vanilla proton version will run just fine through a custom version of proton that utilizes the newest version of dxvk. Yes, I have narrowed down that this is what makes the specific game I have in mind work (Knuckle Sandwich Demo). I myself did some research, and have found that the latest version of proton experimental uses dxvk v1.10.3-28-ge3daa699 or dxvk-nvapi. In conclusion, an updated version of dxvk would be greatly appreciated.

Risks

Of course, I would like this feature to be included in proton experimental, as including it in proton 7.0-6 would be inappropriate. It may or may not break some games that already run fine through proton 7.0-6.

Experimental already ships current DXVK master, there is nothing to update.
