Hollow Knight
Native version won't launch for some reason, but Proton 5.0-9 does the trick after repeated attempts.
Instability:Occasionally
Initially, I couldn't even get the game to launch, either in native, 5.0, or 4.11; however, it just sort of... started to work on the nth try. Can't complain.

Very minor graphical differences seem to be the only issue. Make sure you downgrade to 4.11-13
Graphics:Other
Minor change in monitor RGB from Windows version; had to downgrade to Proton 4.11-13 to get it to run. Also, datestamps don't appear on save files for some reason.

Runs quite well, overall, but make sure you force Proton 4.11-13.
Windowing:Other
Make sure you only fullscreen after the opening FMV, otherwise the graphics will freeze (though you can still technically mouse over options lol).
Save Games:Other
The saves themselves are fine, but the datestamps refuse to appear for some reason.
