I have played that game a lot in my old days on Windows, but under Linux I have a lot of crashes. I have installed the game via Steam and it starts in to mainmenu. But mostly when I try to start a game, it crashes. After reading some tips, I have changed proton to GE-Proton 8.3. with that crashes occur a little bit rarer, but to often. I have also tried GE-Proton 8.4 or Proton Experimental, but without luck.

Is someone here with some tips?

BTW: im on Manjaro

Have you seen this?

Yes, but there is no clear instructions. Only some vague recommendations. None of them is working at least for me

You mean WINEPREFIX="{install location}/SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/244850/pfx/" sh winetricks --force -q dotnet48 doesn't help?

Not really. In my case i start it from within Steam Library and not from commandline, but i have tried the --force -q dotnet48 shortcut also, with no positive result. Yesterday, I could play the game for more than 3 hours, but today, starting it the same way, it crashes after loading 1% of the save game.

I'm starting it now in a parallel installed Windows, where the save game location is shared between both OS (-appdata "/path/to/folder" -skipintro). Maybe i find a better way and must not boot to Windows. Since i start this really seldom, it has to download a lot of Updates before i can continue.

Then I have no other idea than to take a look into what it logs:

  1. Execute steam with PRESSURE_VESSEL_SHELL=instead steam
  2. launch the game
  3. in the term that will open type "$@" (with the ") and inspect the output .You can redirect it, but steam executes games in a container so not all other directories will be available to write to
