Total War: SHOGUN 2
Game runs with DX9 but I don't notice any serious issues, graphics are fine. Since Ubuntu 24.04 had to switch from native to proton.
Tinker Steps:Switch to experimental, Set launch options
DRI_PRIME=1 %command%
The game should have defaulted to Proton, as it's not playable out of the box on Ubuntu 24.04 without forcing Proton.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines
Completely playable at higher resolutions but you need the unofficial patch, otherwise it wouldn't even launch.
Tinker Steps:Switch to experimental, Set launch options, winetricks
-game Unofficial_Patch
I went through the following steps on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS:
- Install the game
- Right-click on game in library, choose "Properties"
- "General" add
-game Unofficiato launch options 2."Compatibility" section choose "force..." and "Proton Experimental" - Download the unofficial patch
- Open a terminal and run:
sudo apt install winetricks
winetricks prefix=/home/$USER/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/2600/pfx
- With winetricks launched, pick:
- Select the default wineprefix
- Run taskmgr
- Click on the "File" menu in the top left and then pick "New Task (Run...)"
- Click "Browse" to select the downloaded patch (use Z: drive)
- Follow the installation instructions, when asked for game location navigate to your home (again the Z: drive) and select .local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/VampireThe Masquerade - Bloodlines/
- Pick all options to install
On Ubuntu 24.04 the offical protontricks from apt didn't work (old version). However, I decided to go with just winetricks and that worked without issue (and no need to install a bunch of flatpak or other packages).
