Going by the changelog these titles are newly playable:
- Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide

Star Wars Episode I Racer was the best ever coming out from that movie (including that movie).

Strange, I played Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide in past with Proton and everything worked without issue, only thing that didn't worked was the launcher. So I'm surprised that it's marked as newly playable, when it was playable in past.

That is Vermintide II, which is broken on Linux because of this.
