How to run on Linux in 2023
Known issues + solutions:

Character walks very slowly
It's due to the game running in skyhigh FPS - to cap:
  • make sure it runs in windowed mode, otherwise OpenGL will flip instead of blipping (rendering technique) and flipping doesn't support Vsync
  • enable Vsync in your graphics driver (e.g. run nvidia-settings and check Sync to VBlank in X Screen 0 -> OpenGL Settings or set a specific profile for this game only)

    Tip: You can check Enable Graphics API Visual Information in nvidia-settings to see FPS and rendering method in use.

There's a black frame around the game render
You're trying to run the game in 4K. Max game resolution is 1440p. You can play it in window or add resolution changing before and after running the game in Steam:
  1. Right click game in your Steam library
  2. click Properties
  3. in General and edit Launch options:
    xrandr --output DP-2 --mode 2560x1440; %command%; xrandr --output DP-2 --mode 3840x2160
    Tip: Bear in mind DP-2 is my screen output, yours might be different, e.g. HDMI-1 (check it in nvidia-settings -> X Screen 0 -> X Server XVideo Settings - output name will be after the screen name in parentheses).

Game not registering mouse clicks
Disable Steam overlay:
  1. Right click game in your Steam library
  2. click Properties
  3. in General tab uncheck Enable the Steam Overlay while in-game
