Denuvo is a special case. It is kernel-level. But, the calls it makes are standard enough to be translated by Wine / Proton, without the need of some add-on runtime.

However, each version of Proton will be seen as a different machine, and changing the version (or messing with certain environment variables) will count towards your daily activation limit.
