Any Linux users having trouble launching?
Hey guys, I'm trying to play the demo on Linux but unfortunately it won't launch. Proton is up to date, I'm just looking to see if anyone else is having this issue and if anyone has a workaround. Thank you :3

Have you tried switching to an alternate version of proton? Sometimes it's enough to do the trick. I'm afraid I'm hardly an expert at proton workarounds so that's the best I can tell you. Hope you can make it work!

I had to reinstall the demo alongside Proton 9.0 to get it to work! For some reason experimental wasn't working for it. Thank you! I genuinely would not have tried switching my Proton version and just have moved onto the next game lol

That's odd, proton experimental works just fine on Fedora 40.

Using the same launch options and compatibility setup as for the first game worked for me.

Try PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command% and then go from the newest version of Proton down until it manages to start up.
