Currently I have proton GE 9-7 as my default for steam(with the hope that it works), and when that fails I swap to proton 9-0-4 or experimental, but I have GE 10-10 and 10-4 installed but they currently aren’t on any games as I haven’t got any games to seem to want to run with them.
Then on lutris main I’m using a custom runner for one of my games because it needs to get around EAC since standard support is iffy, but I default to Wine 10 for it as they state proton shouldn’t be used on non-steam. However I do have Lutris-GE-8-26 installed but it only ever worked right on one of the games.
Then for lutris on my distrobox Arch container(because FF XIV and Genshin launchers & controller support break for some reason otherwise) I use Wine-ge-8-26 which is a coinflip of if it lets me launch or crashes which makes me suspect that theres a race condition somewhere.
I haven’t had good experiences with GE which is why I was hoping you might have some recommendations on a /stable/ version if you can call GE stable lol
sorry yea, I was moreso curious if you had seen a version that tended to work better than others so I didn’t include them!
Currently my main grievances is phasmaphobia which doesn’t let you talk in lobby, the spirit box is broken and campground maps have massive artifacting.
The Isle, which can’t play at night due to the sky being a rave
FF XIV which won’t pass the main launcher outside of a distro box (which currently works but bugs me)
Death stranding which hard freezes around BT’s
and Ark SE, which I personally hate the studio but, my friends still play so not having to wait 30+ minutes to enter a modded server would be /amazing/ lol
And star citizen which runs almost flawlessly on Windows with no lag, but crashes to a crawl on my main OS.
I have researched into these games quite extensively to try to find solutions and failed but if you have any ideas of what might be causing it, I’m all ears, or like before if you have any suggestions for versions that seem to work better I can default to those to maybe remove some troubleshooting time in the future.
Unfortunately I don’t have a lot of overlap with you. (I do own Star Citizen from the initial kickstarter, but haven’t tried it on Linux. There IS a Bottles setup for it that says it works well, but I have no experience to share.)
Phasmophobia I thought I played on Linux a bunch, but the game itself was just terribly buggy. Could be that was Linux, but I could swear my friends on Windows were having similar problems. (One reason we don’t play this anymore.)
The rest I haven’t tried, so can’t help. It feels like either you game quite a bit more broadly than I do, or you got really unlucky. Here’s a quick list of my recently played games with no hiccups - maybe the issue is indy titles tend to work better?
Vampire Survivors
Schedule I
Kingdoms Reborn
PULSAR: Lost Colony
Mindustry
Star Trek: Resurgence
Tales and Tactics
Powerwash Simulator
Motor Town
The Headliners
Ale & Tale Tavern
Space Engineers
…
No problems. Didn’t really have to think about anything with any of these.

Is it possible that old system files are your problem? I’ve never had problems with any version of GE or Lutris.
You haven’t told me any of the games you’re trying to get to work.
If they have kernel anti-cheat, anti-Linux checking, etc then you’re going to have bad luck and may want to consider a VM and GPU passthrough.
With the vast majority of games I have tried on Linux, things Just Work out of the box.
