Hi! Absolutely none game with Steam Proton doesn't works! But when I use Wine-GE with Lutris (or just use Wine-GE instead of Steam Proton) - everything works fine! Where's the issue may be? ๐Ÿค”

You have. Download Protonge manually from https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/releases and unpack the archive into "~/.steam/root/compatibilitytools.d/". Each Proton version has its own folder. Restart Steam then you can use Proton GE from there. Its like Wine GE, but optimized for Steam.

And what games are you playing? You can also lookup each game in Protondb as linked before. Protondb is a database of user reports, with often useful information.
