Hello @alpha0mega96, this issue should also be mentioned to the game's devs

Please confirm that you are trying to run via Steam Play and not native. If that is the case this should be moved to the Proton repository.

I tested on Manjaro with latest Steam client beta but cannot reproduce an issue. Native works, so does Steam Play with Proton 4.11-6

Native does not work for me, has never worked for me. I have latest steam client, Ubuntu 20.10. Nothing in the logs indicating any issues, just flashes on screen and disappears. Proton works, but all versions of proton don't use controller, only keyboard/mouse emulation which I have never gotten to play properly.
