Overwatch is the big one - lots of random issues with it. But basically any game with Denuvo DRM is extremely high risk, resulting in either a ban or the game not running at all.

Denuvo counts each proton version as a unique activation, might help you avoid this issue going forward

Can you remember any particular problems in Overwatch? I've been down that road, so there's a chance I might have some info that you would find useful.

One problem that was unsolved last time I checked: Saving highlight videos. It used to work if you told Overwatch to use webm format instead of mp4, but Blizzard broke that somewhere along the line, possibly in the transition to Overwatch 2. (I worked around this with OBS Studio and its replay buffer feature.)
