I was having sound issues with Dead Island: Riptide recently and I thought, "I bet there's some launch options that might fix this." The problem was I simply didn't know any. In the end I fixed it by replacing the flatpak version of pulseeffects with the one in the Mint repos (?!), but I'm left wondering about proton (&c) launch options.
Any help or insight massively appreciated. :)
I usually just read comments on protonDB to see which launch options to apply, as I don't fully understand all the details of these.
Thanks for the link, I appreciate that, but I'm really looking for a much more comprehensive list. :)
Wine debug channels:
https://www.linuxsecrets.com/wine-wiki/Debug_Channels.html
vkd3d (skip down to Environment Variables)
https://github.com/HansKristian-Work/vkd3d-proton
DXVK (check HUD/Debugging) and dxvk.conf for game specific workarounds.
Of course both ProtonDB and the Wine AppDB are always worth checking for workarounds.
There's also driver specific workarounds:
Environment variables here:
https://docs.mesa3d.org/envvars.html
Application specific workarounds here (can also be used as environment variables)
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/blob/main/src/util/00-mesa-defaults.conf
...and specific workarounds for SDL, FAudio, PulseAudio etc....

Recently found (well, actually someone in the steam forums pointed it out to me) this site, which helped me finally play my vr-videos from any location. But there's also "fixes" for other issues. Take a look if you still need something:

specific game parameters? specific proton parameters? vulkan related environment variables? opengl ones maybe?
What about LD linker accepted envs instead?
And why not a little script or mangohud tricks to limit framerate or set vsync, vkbasalt effects?
You understand, "launch options" is just a command line and a commandline can do anything.
Having a wall of launch options to try randomly won't help you; asking for specific help and understand why the answer fixes it, does.
Some specific cases are listed here:
