I can also mention that it works flawlessly on Linux even with the GoG version (still through proton). It's uncommon for such games to be on GoG day one, and I wouldn't have bought it otherwise.
Oh nice, I went with GOG as well and was wondering if I'd be able to get it running on Linux.
Most GoG games can be run through steam/proton, but it's a bit tedious. I'm guessing that there are better approaches than what I do, which is to
You should be able to run it as a normal steam game. I've done this with all gog games I own without much issues. Though, I usually check if it works on protondb.com before I buy it.
If anyone stumbles upon this comment, I would also mention that you can install any subsequent update in the same way, by editing the entry to the update file(s), run the update executable, and then edit the entry back.
Why do you use Proton instead on WINE? I've never tried, so I'm curious if I should look into it.
Proton is WINE on steroids, I haven't used it for a while, but ever since proton came out it's been a much smoother experience, at least for the sample size of me.
It is not recommended to use Proton outside of Steam. Use Wine + DXVK instead for GOG.
