Native Support

Although this game has a Linux-native build available, Steam does not list it as having Linux support. This can happen if a game has an unofficial, unfinished, or unsupported build. You may need to force Steam to enable Proton for the game in order to run properly.

Strange Steam Behaviour but it finally installed native.

At first it didn´t appear to be available native so I chose proton, later I removed the proton option and then I was able to install it native.. it works great so far.
