Crashes KWin on Wayland
The game used to run fine when it first came out; since its first update it opens for a few seconds but after a few clicks it crashes the whole window manager. Seems from Steam discussions to have happened to others on Fedora with KWin and Wayland.
The game sometimes stutters a bit, frame rate dipping from 60 to about 50.
Installed via Lutris from GOG and everything works as expected. The game doesn't have an 800p resolution so there's a bit of letterboxing. And there is occasionally some stuttering and dropped frames. But overall very smooth on Steam Deck.
Fatal error, won't launch
As others have reported, it asks to install the C++ runtime but after installing it won't launch. Just black screens with "fatal error" and then quit. Tried a couple of different Proton versions, no luck.
Hoping a workaround is figured out, would love to check this game out and already missed the refund window.
