Black Myth: Wukong
I couldn't start the benchmarking tool. After launching I got only a black screen and after closing it my PC froze for around 30 sec.
Tinker Steps:Switch to experimental
Installs:Yes
Opens:No
I tried normal Proton, Experimental and Proton-GE non of them worked

Red Dead Redemption 2
After adding the launch options everything worked perfect exept some minor graphical issues
Tinker Steps:Set launch options
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="version=n,b" game-performance %COMMAND% -width 1920 -height 1080 -fullscreen
Graphics:Minor Artifacts
sometimes when being inside of buildings the light glitches a little bit
Instability:Frequently
without the launch options the game crashes due to VRAM leaking
Add launch options to fix VRAM leaking

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky
Works good with some crashes
Instability:Occasionally
There were some crashes were the game crashed but the game was still running in the backgroud and I couldn't use my mouse so I had to end the game via terminal
The crashes are probably not Linux related. The game also crashes often on Windows

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl
It works perfectly
Performance:Slight Performance Problems
sometimes fps drops but might be the game or mods that I installed (always happens in the same areas)
The only issues I encountered where from mods or also present on windows

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Tinker Steps:Switch to experimental, Set launch options
PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=30 %command%
Audio:Crackling
with a slight delay of 30 milliseconds(not noticeable) the audio problem was solve
Instability:Occasionally
When running with DX12, the game sometimes crash in menus. This is solved by switching to DX11
I had to change from dx12 to dx11 and add a audio delay of 30 milliseconds to have a good experience
