Linux / SteamOS

Is the game also getting a Linux version at some point?

Ran this on the SD today and it worked without issue. Not sure if that will help your search.

I would not hold my breath on a linux version.

OOTP Developments used to release a Linux version every year, but last year they stopped doing so.

The problem with playing the game through Proton is that support could be broken in any update to the game or to Proton and there's no real control over the process. This isn't a highly-marketed, attention-grabbing game where breaking support will get massive attention and a quick hotfix. Last year OOTP 25 was actually unplayable during the whole time the preorder price was available, effectively amounting to an extra fee to play the game on a PC not running Windows or MacOS.

The native version worked brilliantly for years so it doesn't really make any sense. OOTP Developments have been weirdly quiet on the whole subject for over a year now.

It runs fine in bottles, if that helps at all. Problem is that there is no guarantee it'll work in bottles after they patch it for a year.
