Are you using Steam, or games from another service? I’ve only found 1 or 2 things that didn’t work immediately on Steam, but I have an absolute hell of a time getting anything off Steam to run, it’s like pulling teeth. Especially older Windows games; they’re just a non-starter most of the time.
I just use a single Bottle’s bottle to install a bunch of off-Steam games. Contains many older windows dependencies; you have to install them yourself but they are found within the bottle’s settings.
I remember trying to get Sims 3 working for my partner, it had all sorts of missing textures, kept crashing and had poor performance. Turns out you need a 4gb patch?? made from the community? Decided to toss it in my bottle and it works flawlessly. Have not tried dos games but may be worth a shot.
From steam, to lutris to base wine to he to trying a couple back cause nothing else worked.
Saw it all, did it all and I hazard a guess I soon will see it all again
Glad it works for you, I have the exact opposite exepeirenxe with most games (I rarely play online).
To the point I sometimes feel like I’m taking crazypulls

Is it possibly your distro? Maybe share what you’re using, and see if others are having different luck with it?
I even wonder what games are u talking about ,wanna try to run on my machine
The one who probably provided me the most trouble and headache over the years is my favourite anno, 1404 history edition
I usually check the proton DB website, to read the comments and see what people do to fix games and software.
Just recently I used it to get old CAD software to run, had to lower the proton version to 6 or something and it worked.
from all the times i tried to use protondb for help, for me, i can count the times it actually did on one hand
I tried it running with portproton with pirated version works smooth no tinkering.Running on arch linux with hybrid graphics on nvidia mx940.
Wow,i even got downvoted.
