Anyone know if this plays nice with Optimus (bumblebee/primus/optirun/etc.)?
Font issues are because Photon can’t include the default Windows font library due to copyright issues. This will be an ongoing problem and devs will have to adapt to use a different font library, or Valve will have to use an open source replacement for the system core fonts.

Games doesn’t start for me. Dunno what’s wrong, they just syncing and nothing happens. I tried fallout shelter, skyrim and grim dawn. I have ubuntu 18.04.1, RX 460 VGA with amdgpu-pro 18.30 driver. Have you got any idea what’s wrong?
The guys that made the google sheet have a discord server. I think i can even find the user that tested it since i asked about that first and some guy tested it. You can join and ask there.
That being said i run the GOG version flawlessly through Lutris with esync 1.13 and DXVK 0.65.
Also as for the optimus thing i think bumblebee does not play well with Vulkan which you need. So you can only make it work if you use the GPU all the time using the typical Nvidia drivers.
EDIT: This is the install script the guy used to run OS2 with proton: https://lutris.net/games/install/8743/view
You need the Open source drivers for it to work properly. The AMDGPU pro will not work.

Just thought I would go ahead and add my experiences.
The first game I tried out was DOOM (2016). It ran flawlessly as expected, and it’s really nice to have DOOM running with the native Steam client for Linux. The Windows Steam client running in Wine has a lot of issues which are not present when running the game this way. Very nice.
The next thing I tried was A Hat in Time. This is a game that I have gotten running in Wine before, but I was always unable to get the audio working correctly. Unfortunately running it using this method doesn’t seem to help much. The game boots up and runs OK (there is a bit of stuttering when I first load up the game but after running for a few minutes it seems to clear up), but the audio is totally hosed. None of the volume controls in the settings work, the music is way too loud, and I can barely hear the sound effects or voice acting at all. It’s a shame. (P.S. If anyone has any ideas for fixing this issue in Wine or Proton please let me know)
The next thing I tried was a visual novel called Lucy -The Eternity She Wished For-. I picked this one up a while back but still haven’t played it because reasons. A friend of mine really wants me to play it so I figured I would try to get it running so I can. Everything works OK except fullscreen mode, which seems to change the screen resolution to something that the computer cannot understand because the majority of the game window gets cut off and the only way I could close the game after enabling fullscreen mode was to kill Lucy.exe from MATE System Monitor.
And finally, I gave STEINS;GATE a shot. I tried both with and without the Committee of Zero patch and the game ran on both, but there are a few drawbacks. For one thing, the volume was way too low and I couldn’t hear anything at first. I was able to fix this by loading up pavucontrol and boosting the volume for Game.exe. Additionally, the game would pick up some of my peripherals and treat them as controllers if I didn’t have an actual controller plugged in. As a result the menus would be buggy and not really work at all if I didn’t have a controller plugged into my computer. I was able to fix this by plugging an XInput compatible controller into my computer and restarting the game (I used a MAGIC-NS adapter with a Nintendo Switch Pro controller). The controller must be connected when you start the game, but you can play with the keyboard and mouse once the game loads. Aside from that, everything appears to work, but I didn’t play through the entire game or anything (yet!).
That’s all I really had time for today but I plan to try out some other games in the near future. It’s so nice to see Valve implement an official Wine implementation, especially since getting Steam running inside Wine seems to be not only really buggy and broken, but the support seems to be getting worse and worse with each Steam update. I do wish there was a bit more flexibility, however. Having the ability to run winecfg, run an arbitrary application in the game’s wineprefix, etc, would be quite nice. Perhaps it’s something they’ll work on in the future.

This is probably because of the DRM

Thanks! It’s helped. I removed the GPUPRO driver and installed clang-8. Games now starts! 
GOODBYE WINDOWS!!!

Your probably right, wouldn’t be surprised if many games won’t run with proton because of this, might be worth going though a list of known games that use something like denuvo DRM and see if any of those work too.
No Mans Sky does not run? Interesting…The GOG and wine+steam version is characterized as Platinum on Lutris…
It’s a big ask, but I would really like to see some FCAT frametime graphs for this, to see the actual performance implications.
So ive been poking at proton and found a way to launch winecfg directly.
WINEPREFIX=/home/dje4321/.steam/root/steamapps/compatdata/APPID/ ~/.steam/root/steamapps/common/Proton 3.7/dist/bin/wine winecfg
Replace APPID to whatever the appid for the steam play game you are running

I tried out Far Cry 3 and 4, neither of which work. It looks like Uplay is gonna stop you from playing any Ubisoft games for now. I feel it’s worth noting that Uplay (and both of these games) do work nearly perfectly in an esync patched wine. I also tried using WINEPREFIX=/media/storage/coltondrg/steam/steamapps/compatdata/298110/ winetricks corefonts to install corefonts, which fixes Uplay on wine, but it doesn’t seem to improve anything in Proton. (Note that when I installed corefonts using this method, the wine on my computer from the Arch repos was used instead of Proton, but obviously I went back to using Proton to actually attempt to run the game)

This looks great, I will post my results when I can give them a try.
Ah, so winetricks DOES work with the dummy prefixes made from Proton.
Remember that Valve can’t include the corefonts package in Proton due to copyright issues.

Just tested another game, Cat Quest.
https://steamdb.info/app/593280/
Runs perfectly even with controller input, but also suffers from the crash on exit many Unity games exhibit.
Very close to a whitelisting candidate.

export DXVK_HUD=fps,frametimes
Make that an environment variable and DXVK has built in frametime tools.
Or, if you prefer user_settings.py:
"DXVK_HUD": "fps,frametimes",
