From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

On protondb it has Platinum status https://www.protondb.com/app/768200/. It should work atleast with steam and proton. If I'm not mistaken.
I thought so too, which is why I got it, but I have tried every suggestion in the protondb site and the steam forums and only got it to load the game one time before crashing the whole system, and this is running fedora 41, it freezes everything as soon as it loads. I’m sure I could check logs and prob try it again currently as I see proton-ge was recently updated, but I just moved on to a better game.
I know absolutely nothing about this game, and this comment might even come off as patronizing because of course you tried this... But if this is a game that has a Linux runtime, then Steam is going to default to that. In my experience, running the Windows version through Proton often works better... So I would double check that you're using proton in the "compatibility" page in the per-game settings.
Also, if you haven't yet, I'd try Proton-GE as that will sometimes work while regular Proton doesn't.
Probably just a waste of time, but just in case you hadn't tried yet.
I don’t feel that this is patronizing as I would be suggesting the same to someone who said they were having issues. I have tried the latest proton, the hot fix, the glorious egg roll version and several beta versions, and it’s that one game that crashes Linux.
Then I'm sorry about your experience. Maybe it has something to do with the versions of programs/libraries specifically on Fedor's distribution. If I have the opportunity, I could try to run this game, but I have Arch linux.
Hey thanks for your concern, I have been thinking of other distros but so far everything has been running fine on Fedora, if it comes about that a game I really enjoy becomes unplayable then I will start checking out Arch.
