The game doesn't launch on Ubuntu 18.04

[WindySilver]

Hi!

I wanted to try this game out on Linux to see if it triggers the same issue I have on my laptop on the Windows side, but it refuses to launch from Steam. I tried to launch it from the terminal, but I couldn't figure out how, as the "Game" game's folder name "Game Dev Tycoon" seems to trigger some issue. I'm using Ubuntu 18.04.

Any help on getting this working or should I try an older distribution where it works?

Same, able to launch other games with no issue, but this one fails closes at "Preparing to launch game..."
If i manage to get it going I'll post here.

I also have the same problem, Any fix?

I tried running it from the terminal and apparently there's a package missing. Just run

 sudo apt -y install libgconf2-4 

to install that package. Works perfectly after that.
