    This kept crashing on steamdeck for me. Anyone else have this problem? The launcher opens, but trying to open the game causes it to crash.

      This was my experience too. I tried setting up a Bottles container for it as I’ve had success with that approach a few of the times that I can’t get a Proton version to work, but no dice.

      I actually wasted a couple of hours trying to get it to work because it looks fun, but I gave up when I realized that I had spent all of that evening’s free time not having fun.

      I couldn’t find anyone talking about getting it working on the Deck. If you happen to come across any working instructions, would you please ping me? I’ll do the same for you. Thanks in advance!

        Bummer. This is how I’d try to play it since I lack a Windows environment. Thank you for reporting, intrepid explorer.

        It says on the site you need WINE so it’s hard to understand why Proton wouldn’t work easily.

      Same deal for me too. I think the software might need to be compiled for linux instead of pushing proton. I also tried wine but no dice.

        It’s too bad their docs say they tested it with proton.

        I don’t think it’s worth compiling for. Maybe when it’s out of beta it will work fine.
