I have read it runs fine on steam but would rather buy it on GOG due to the lack of DRM.

I have it. Installed/updated using Heroic. Works perfectly. I use the latest Proton-GE with it, and run the Vulkan backend (seems to have fewer bugs for me on AMD GPU than the DX11 version).

Running the latest Mint with the 6.1 OEM kernel and kisak-mesa drivers.

My wife has it installed with Galaxy on Windows. DRM-free means we can play co-op over LAN instead of being stuck with split-screen.

The steam version is also DRM free IIRC.

Why does that make you able to play co-op over LAN?

steam IS drm...

@Nioxic @JustEnoughDucks Steamworks is DRM. Not all games on Steam use Steamworks.

There are DRM-free games available on Steam. They can be downloaded and installed with SteamCMD, run without the Steam client, and even copied to other computers that don't have Steam installed and run without it.
