Simon Gardling 774d748bfe yarn: drop GE-Proton compat-tool pin from steam-config-nix
nixpkgs' proton-ge-bin (the package wired into programs.steam.extra-
CompatPackages via modules/desktop-steam.nix) registers in Steam's
compat-tool list under its versioned id, currently GE-Proton10-34.
steam-config-nix's README example uses the unversioned string
"GE-Proton", which on a fresh boot wrote that literal value into
localconfig.vdf — Steam resolved it to no installed tool and silently
fell back to bundled Proton 10. FH5 then launched on stock Proton,
which doesn't pick up PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE the way GE does.

Drop both `compatTool` (per-app) and `defaultCompatTool` (global).
The wrapper-based launchOptions.env path is unaffected — env vars
still pass through to whatever Proton Steam ends up using. Tool
selection goes back to manual Steam UI > Properties > Compatibility.

A versioned pin (`compatTool = "GE-Proton10-34";`) would work but
couples the host config to whatever the proton-ge-bin nixpkgs entry
ships this week; not worth the maintenance.

# intercepts FH5's DLSS/XeSS calls and reroutes them through the bundled
# FFX SDK. Override values + sources live in
# ./optiscaler-fh5-rdna3.ini; keys not listed there fall through to
# OptiScaler's "auto" defaults.
#
# Required one-time per-game setup the user has to do in Steam (the
# in-game upscaler picker has no public API):
# - In-game: switch the Upscaling option from FSR 2.2 to DLSS or XeSS
# (FSR 2 inputs aren't intercepted). Press Insert to open the Opti
# overlay and set the FFX upscaler to FSR 4.
#
# Caveats:
# - OptiScaler.ini is dropped with mode = "init" so in-game overlay edits
# persist. The hand-written template is only written on first apply (or
# after manual deletion). To push a new default into an existing
# install: rm OptiScaler.ini in the FH5 dir, then `systemctl start
# game-mods`. The DLLs and other static assets stay mode = "create" so
# they're updated on every OptiScaler version bump.
# - OptiScaler's installation page warns against use with online games.
# FH5 has no kernel-mode anti-cheat but Playground does server-side
# telemetry. Use at your own risk.
