Not working on Linux. Proton Experimental also isn't helping.

Some sort of splash screen pops up for a few seconds then nothing happens.

739232:10:33:45: Making texture

[Cloud]

Same issue here, am on Arch with Nvidia and on Wayland if that helps.

[Felony McShiv]

Ditto on Mint.

[CodeSlave]

same on bazzite with experimental and amd cpu and 6700xt

[CodeSlave]

proton ge9-21 works. sound is pure static though

[sudonym]

Hi -- sorry for the crashes -- the reason it is happening is because the song files used in the game are .wma which is not well supported by Proton. We have a fix for this which works on SteamDeck, but unfortunately we haven't found a way to target this package for Linux, because when running games on Steam using Proton, it sees the OS as Windows -- and we can't use the same approach on Windows, because Windows does not support .ogg audio files.

We are still investigating and will hopefully get this resolved soon.

[CodeSlave]

maybe use wav audio. dunno if thats even supported anymore

[CloudPhase]

As a temporary fix you could set up a beta that uses .ogg instead of .wma while you figure out how to properly tackle it

[sudonym]

Hi, sorry for the delay on this, I had the flu last week and didn't have a chance to investigate!

As a workaround for now, as @CloudPhase suggested (thanks!) I've added a beta branch called Linux that should be available to everyone. Once opting in to this beta branch and updating, you should then be able to run the game using Proton Experimental.

Let me know if this works!

[freakadings]

Switching to the Beta-Linux-Version + Proton Experimental works for me on Linux Mint :)
Thank you very much!

[sudonym]

Awesome, glad it is working! Hope you enjoy the demo!

[Felony McShiv]

Came back to see if anything had been done. Also confirming the workaround works for me.

[Stryg]

going try now :O leeetss goooo

[R37ROG4M3R]

I try it on LM 22.1 Xia but it doesn't work. I see for 1 second the menu and it crashes (Proton Exp.)

Hi -- is this even when you are using the Linux beta?

Nope, it works now. was my bad, I hadn't seen that there was also a beta version ^^
