Notes

This game is marked as not supported on anything newer than Windows XP according to the store page but works just fine without any changes on Steam Play using Linux. It is 100% bug for bug compatible with being ran natively on its intended platform. I strongly recommend Valve whitelist this before turning off Steam for Windows XP users in 2019 - as otherwise the game has no officially supported platform anywhere. From the store page OS minimum requirement: "Microsoft® Windows® 2000/XP (not compatible with Windows Vista)"

Valve should whitelist this for both technical and political reasons. How cool is it that this game does not officially work on Windows 10 but does work on Linux despite being a Windows game?

Go on, you know you want to!

Have you tried playing it with a XInput controller (like Xbox 360 gamepad)? There's an issue with a menu constantly scrolling up and left, so I guess that's the reason it's not whitelisted yet.

Can confirm menus goes crazy when using a 360 gamepad, works fine if you manage to get in-game though (though with crazy keybindings)

With gamepad unplugged game plays perfect. Proton 4.2-1

The game crashes on "Press ENTER to start, press ESCAPE to quit" screen when using Proton Experimental, which is recommended, and Proton 8, on Steam Deck and normal Linux PC. Switching to Proton 7 fixes the issue.

Hello @ClaudeLib, please add PROTON_LOG=1 %command% to the game's launch options and attach the generated $HOME/steam-$APPID.log to this issue report as a file. (Proton logs compress well if needed.) Also, please copy your system information from Steam (Steam -> Help -> System Information) and the contents of Steam Runtime Diagnostics from Steam (Steam -> Help -> Steam Runtime Diagnostics) and put them in a gist, then include a link to the gist in this issue report.

This is not from Deck, but from my PC running ChimeraOS. I can get logs from Deck tomorrow too, if needed.

@ClaudeLib The instructions were clear and I was able to reproduce the regression, so no need for more logs at this time :) Thank you for reporting this!
