Anyone got some experience with running on proton?

Looking at
https://www.protondb.com/search?q=Lego

Most of them got execelent ratings - but then so did Lego LOTR and I've yet to make that game run on any of my computers, so I'm hopeing somebody here actually played some of the games rather than just ascertain that loads.

In particular I'm interested in Undercover


[edit: fixed the link]

I have tried the following ones (Note: all GOG versions and all in regular Wine, but I suppose it is mostly the same in Proton):

  • Harry Potter 1-4: Runs great. One of the levels is bugged, however (also on Windows), so I had to mess with some dynamic light settings.
  • Harry Potter 5-7: Runs okay. The sound was severely bugged when I played it (no sound attenuation, so everything always had maximum volume - including random swarms of flies). This might have been fixed with FAudio.
  • Batman 1: Runs great, didn't have any problems (except for a few random crashes, which also seem to happen on Windows).
  • Batman 2: Screen freezes when first showing a cutscene when starting a new game. Sound continues for a few minutes and the game then crashes. I haven't found a way to make it work.

Also, please note that many of the LEGO games are quite buggy in general, so not all of these issued may be caused by Wine/Proton.

Same as Anarus here. I only own the Lego games from GOG.com and have only tried them via wine-staging.

Lego Harry Potter 1-4 works flawlessly, I never had any problems, controller support included.
Lego Batman works, but I never got a controller working, I have to play the game with keyboard.

And in case they are going to add some more games, Lego Star Wars Complete Edition works fine as well, albeit controller support is not so great there either. Lego Pirates of the Caribbean again works flawlessly, controller support included.
