Meh. Most games, I'd say. Couldn't get Cyberpunk 2077 to run on Mint.

--launcher-skip should fix it, according to ProtonDB.

I looked on protondb of course. The issue isn't the launcher, it does boot into the menu and freezes once I load a game.

Ok, then it's probably some kind of system resource setting or something. I had an issue with Hogwarts Legacy freezing after an hour or two, and it was fixed by this setting change. Maybe that or a similar tweak is all you need. Or maybe just a GPU driver update.

I haven't tried that game, but I will say most of the games I've tried work fine without any tweaks.
