Posting the required version to run the game is not trivial, as this is nothing we can just know, and it can also change with game updates. There is the Steam Deck verification information, which includes a Proton version, but this information is not reliable at all. Valve set Proton Experimental on all games that have not being tested, even on Linux native(!), so we can not take that.
However, we are thinking of changes and collecting ideas at the moment and any constructive idea and critique is welcome. My personal idea about the working Proton versions to show is to simply have a graph, showing the available proton versions with a color code, depending on the reports and their rating. For example:
And yes, people are reporting incorrect fixes, but this is the nature of user content. And it's impossible to curate them all, it's way too many. But you can always report a false/dangerous report on the discord or IRC (I wish we've had a report button on the page).
