I am opening this issue to track all the games that will not launch specifically on high thread count systems with Proton but launch on native Windows without issue. The commands taskset and numactl will not work. It has to be WINE_CPU_TOPOLOGY. The specific issue threads listed below seem to already have plenty of logs pertaining to this issue.

Far Cry 4 (#2143)
Will not launch if you have more than 31 threads.
WINE_CPU_TOPOLOGY=31:0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30 %command%

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine (#934)
Will not launch if you have more than 26 threads.
WINE_CPU_TOPOLOGY=26:0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25 %command%

Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light (#249)
Will not launch on high thread count systems. I am not certain of the exact thread count it breaks at but it will launch on 12 threads but not on 26 threads.
WINE_CPU_TOPOLOGY=12:0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11 %command%
