Resident Evil And Linux don't play well together
For RE2R it's probably a video codec issue. Installing this in the game's wineprefix should get it running with wine. I recommend the DX11 version.

Set the game to use Proton 6.3-8 Run game once to create compatdata/462780/pfx (If this already exists, delete it first to ensure its a new copy) Get mf-install (e.g. https://github.com/z0z0z/mf-installcab/archive/master.zip) and decompress it.

Did steam just build the best portable emulator we've ever seen?
For media foundation some games you still need to apply a manual fix . Use the master version and follow the instructions and games with cutscene issues should work https://github.com/z0z0z/mf-installcab. I had to do this to get fallen order to work through lutris.

Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Earthblood is not working
I tried running it by wine-staging 6.4, wine-staging 5.20, Proton 5.0, Proton 5.13, and Proton-6.1-GE-2, but the game gives me a black screen before the first custscene. I tried this workaround >> https://github.com/z0z0z/mf-installcab and this workaround >> https://github.com/z0z0z/mf-install but none of them worked. Any ideas?

Grezzo 2 on Steam Deck?
Bit late but luxtorpeda has gzdoom as an option along with qzdl for launching with mods. You just gotta install protonup-qt from the discover store in desktop mode. A quick YouTube/Google search can show you how but that's the rough gist of it.

Roller coaster Tycoon 2 saves
I use ProtonUp-Qt to get different Proton versions. You can find it there. You could also manually install Lux. Then just select it from the Compatibility tools.

GZDoom and Linux
There's a project called Luxtorpeda which acts as a compatibility layer in Steam but instead of running the game through Proton, it will download and run it with native engines and source ports. So if you enable it with classic Doom it will pop up with a dialog asking which port to play with (GZDoom, doomsday etc) and it will count towards your Steam play time, enable the Steam overlay etc. Keeps the engine up to date and works with lots of other games with open source ports too.
