thing is, not even protondb is reliable. There’s been many times I’ve tried running a game, and encountered an error not posted anywhere, nor protondb, reddit or steam forums. All the comments on protondb will say, “works great out of the box!”, and I’m just left digging through random forums at that point.

The ONLY issue I’ve had like this was related to me having a dual monitor setup.

As if that’s an acceptable explanation.
Why the fuck is that breaking games… Reminds me of when i was playing around with linux 15 years ago, and i saw how poor multimonitor support was compared to windows back then. And they’re still managing to have stupid issues like this in 2025…
This is why the linux desktop keeps failing “i want to play a game but it doesn’t work because i have 2 monitors”… Who wants to use that as an OS??

Multi monitor also breaks some games on Windows.

well, I have a dual monitor setup, and can concur, have had many issues related to it, but I blame that more on linux/wayland than proton/wine.
