Symptoms Ubuntu 21_04 switched the Display server to WAYLAND. While it is supposed to be backwards compatible with Xorg all of the above listed games would either start and quit immediately or post a DirectX error. Switching back to xorg (gear in lower right at logon screen) resolved the issues
Reproduction
Ubuntu 21_04 on WAYLAND Display server should reproduce this issue for any of the above games. No sure what Wayland changed but should be easy to reproduce.

Research direction
The report names Ubuntu 21.04 on Wayland, several games, an NVIDIA driver, and Proton, but no source file or test. Start by reproducing the listed games on Wayland and comparing their behavior with Xorg. Done would require identifying the compatibility failure, implementing a scoped fix, and validating the affected games.
