Does it run on linux?
I know there's no linux native version, but has anyone tried it with Proton?

>steam flatpak
why.....?
Playing on Proton right now, absolutely no issues so far

Do know that since its not "officially" supported, if something breaks, we can only hope Paradox deigns to fix it
Yes, works flawlessly for me on NixOS
Running on Proton 10.0-2 (beta) so far. All is well.
Seems to run fine using 10.0-2 (beta) but crashes for me using experimental and hotfix.
Yes, runs really well with proton. Will probably add a report to protondb this week after playing some more. Probably runs better than on windows :steammocking:
Will try on Manjaro with i3 tmrw. Will report back how it works with i3 as DE
I tried it on hotfix, experimental, 9.0-4 and 10.0-2 and it didn't work on any of them.
I've been trying to run it but had no luck. This is the first game I've had issues running on linux so maybe I don't know what I'm doing. I clicked force compatibility and tried selecting 10.0-2 and it's still not working.

I click play and it says it's launching then nothing happens and it goes back to letting me click play.
Arch, Core i7-9700K, NVIDIA RTX 2080 SUPER with the proprietary drivers, 16GB RAM. Runs flawlessly now on the medium preset, but had to put it on an SSD instead of my hard disk to get the title screen to load.
