Works out of the box with no tinkering
I run this game with Proton 8.0-5 and it works perfectly fine, no issues at all.
The native Linux version works fine out of the box
When I start the game in my hardware (Ryzen 7 Pro 4750U) it shows a warning that says "Unsupported graphics card or driver" but otherwise the game runs perfectly fine out of the box. I played the game from start to end several times including all DLCs and everything just works.
The native Linux version works perfectly if you replace libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4 with libmimalloc.so from Portal 2
The game can also be played with Proton without tinkering but in my computer the mouse control is considerably smoother when I play the native Linux version, so that's the one that I recommend. Get libmimalloc.so from Portal 2 (or from a Linux distro even, as long as it's the 32-bit version), otherwise the game won't start.
The native Linux version works perfectly out of the box
The second game of this series (The Last Wind Monk) has a buggy Linux version and requires Proton, but this one works fine and the game can be completed using the native version without any issues.
I incorrectly reported that the native Linux version works fine out of the box but I actually finished the game successfully with Proton 8.0-5. Disregard my previous report.
This one has a native Linux version but there are a few scenes that crash the game. Because of that it cannot be completed.
The Windows version with Proton does not have these problems and is otherwise identical, I finished the game successfully without any issues.
Upgrade libstdc++6 and remove libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4
The clone of the Chell character was all black
The native Linux version needs a couple of changes, otherwise it won't start:
- Replace bin/libstdc++.so.6 with a more recent version, for example the one from lib32-gcc-libs-12.2.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst available in https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/l/
- Remove bin/libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4 altogether
With that the game is playable from start to finish.
