Title: Alan Wake is now blocked for non-Windows users(?)

I was going to play Alan Wake from Steam but it looks like it's not available anymore.

The game is installed on my PC since the beginning of the year, I was actually in the last episode. :cry:

The game is still available for purchase, so it's something related to the platform.

Does anyone know about what is happening here?

Just checked, runs and loads a game. Your post was scary though, I plan replaying it soon as I never finished a DLC.

Wtf, I just tried checking->unchecking the "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool" setting and now it's working fine again.

It's probably a bug in the Steam client.

Ah, I have some Proton-GE versions installed, and I remove old ones sometimes, but I don't remember if I was using GE on this game. I will try to reproduce it to file a bug in the Steam Proton repository.

This is what happens if you install a game with a specific Proton version and then delete said Proton version. It's a known bug.
