I've had a number of games mysteriously stop working on proton recently, like bopl battle, they severely lag the system on launch and sometimes need an REISUB reset to get my computer back.

This is new behaviour, these games have worked in the past.

Normally I'd go to protondb to see if there's any information about how to fix it but when I go there, all I get is a pink square loading animation in the middle of the page and nothing loads. It's been like this for the better part of a week for me at least.

Does anyone have any idea about what's going on? Is it working for anyone else?

Edit:

Thanks for the replies everyone. It turns out that my noscript plugin was the problem. I enabled scripts for protondb.com but not for protondb.pages.dev which wasn't showing up for me at first. I don't know why I didn't see it before.

Thanks, I've found the problem, it's in an edit.
