Game completely borked on Linux
Tried all previous workarounds.
Tried as many version of proton as I could. Tried Steam and Steam (Native) as well as the flatpak version with identical results. I was able to get the game window to flash up for a split second but it was totally black and never loaded and this was under Proton GE. I tried the beta for the game as well as running the *.exe directly as a non steam game all to no avail.
Unplayable
The dev has had a ticket open with Steam since July 2024 (5 months and aging). There is no workaround currently, previous workarounds no longer work. At this time, the game is not playable on Steam or Steam Deck using general generic Proton compatibility.
Runs through the hack of launching the "coinfactory" executable in the steam game directory as an external game in Steam.
Game also crashes/freezes after whenever you box a game (finish one game), but everything you achieved within the game is noted by Steam, and it books achievements and the time played on the game as installed by steam, not on the external game entry.
wont run
Not launching with proton
Tried proton versions Experemental to 5.13, not launching. The has a netive build, but the perfomance is really bad
Conclusion: Unfortunately I have to request my first refund on my steam account :( The game seems fun, I think I'll check it out later, maybe the dev will address the issue.
the game used to be borked for steam on flatpak, but it is fixed now. the current (non beta) version might still not work, if this is the case, the developer recommends using the beta code "coinfactory12345" and play on the beta, which worked first try for me.
