The Crew Motorfest is an interesting one since it uses BattlEye anti-cheat. Ubisoft seemed to have it enabled for Linux platforms at some point recently, but Proton was missing a few bits to get the game fully working which have now been added. Nice to see more games like it working!

Also nice to see Farlight 84 get fixed again too, so that's even more multiplayer games that continue working on Linux.
