Crash-Workaround for Linux Users

[Artusad]

Just a quick workaround guide for Linux users:

Stronghold Crusader DE sadly uses the Vuplex 3D WebView plugin which is not compatible with Proton or Linux in general. This plugin tries to connect to something and causes a crash as soon as the mission screen opens after the story screen.

My current workaround that seems to work (at least on Linux Mint):
1. Install bottles
2. Create a new bottle with "gaming" presets
3. Install "webview2" (under dependencies) into the bottle
4. Install steam (windows) into the bottle
5. And from here onwards the normal game installation process via steam

I have only 1 time this problem, after restart and enable "steam overlay help" in settings, I never ever had this crash again. (LM 22.1 Xia)

This worked for me as well. Thanks! I'm on Mint 22.1 too (XFCE edition).

This works for older Win10 builds, so thanks as well.

Weird because another game I play uses Vuplex and doesn't crash.
