Baldurs Gate 3/Launcher/LariLauncher.exe: 1: MZ����@���: not found

I've installed twice and tried with the file verification, but still getting this error while launching the game

MYFOLDER/steam/steamapps/common/Baldurs Gate 3/Launcher/LariLauncher.exe: 1: MZ����@���: not found
MYFOLDER/steam/steamapps/common/Baldurs Gate 3/Launcher/LariLauncher.exe: 1: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string

On Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS with an updated version of Steam and all packages up-to-date...

Any clue would be appreciated, this is my Christmas gift and I've been waiting a couple months to play...

MZ = Windows exe

Is there even a Linux binary? I expect no. So you will need kind of an "emulation" like for example Wine (Wine is not an emulator 😁)

I kind of doubt that it will run natively on Linux but probably there are people who made it run (with things like Wine) so search for this.

But WineHQ doesnt look promising: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=20233 (the site absolutely sucks, it seems that the direct link doesnt work if you come from steam...)

This is the Proton page (maybe this helps): https://www.protondb.com/app/1086940

This article is one year old (so might be outdated and you might need to do some additional steps) but maybe you get the idea how to make it work: https://blog.syntaxseed.com/baldurs-gate-3-on-ubuntu-linux/

Do not bother yourself too long with that. Just start the game directly.
