DayZ Launcher from https://dayzmagiclauncher.com/ [External Link] its kinda working under proton (launch game not working), but you can check servers for mods and subscribe and manage them.
(all subscribed mod list available)

Maybe someone can fix it, to work under proton?

EDIT:
Looks like its broken on Windows too, i have the same error...

ARMA 3 is working for me.
I'm not able to get DayZ working either. :(
You stuck on loading screen too?
I found this while searching around and it may help you so I figured I would share.

"I was able to get it working by running this command:
​sudo sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=1048576

To make it permanent:
echo 'vm.max_map_count=1048576' | sudo tee /etc/sysctl.d/vm.max_map_count.conf

Game now loads and plays fine when started with the second launch option."

Steam Play Proton 6.3-8 out with initial BattlEye support, CEG DRM and more games

Quoting: AnanaceSome BattlEye games seem to have enabled the support without really mentioning it anywhere. Been playing a bunch of Planetside 2 with no issues, and that's a BattlEye game.
ARMA 3 too.

Quoting: peta77It surely sounds interesting, but currently all that War Thunder does for me - since an update a while ago - is crashing right after the launcher... :sad: hope they get that fixed too....
Try this fix, worked for me: https://forum.warthunder.com/index.php?/topic/535429-immediate-crash-on-game-launch/&do=findComment&comment=9114778 [External Link]

Quoting: tom34Padoka repo is still not updated (stable and unstable): https://launchpad.net/~paulo-miguel-dias/+archive/ubuntu/mesa [External Link] :/
Is this repo dead?
Stable is a bit behind, but unstable was last updated less than two weeks ago.
I was comparing this to oibaf PPA, this repo was updated very quickly, always padoka was similar with updates (unstable padoka repo).
Funnily enough, stable just updated as well. The build system switch to meson might be the reason for the longer delay.
After update War Thunder starts crashing in game :/
