@Ussul w+m1 I purchased the game on Steam. For real money. Now it doesn't seem to fucking run on Steam.

Could I run the Linux version instead? Sure, in theory. But my current hardware and software setup for gaming involves running all games in Windows, because enough of them are Linux-hostile. The Linux side of my system is basically headless (low-end GPU, no X or Wayland).

Could I install the Epic Games software and run the game through there? I suppose I could, in principle. But I'd kinda rather the fucking thing that I paid fucking money for just fucking work the way it's fucking supposed to in the first place, you know?

free on epic. If noob like me can run it flawlessly on linux, so you can.

game sucks now
