That was fixed with a note added.

Quoting: speskLooks amazing, will try and find a few minutes to check it out this weekend!
Worked great for me and played really well, was very fun. Only thing was a few enemies seemed to have a few missing texture kind of issues, where they were just rendered as black spots with weird lighting/no textures. Other than that, awesome, looking forward to it's release!
I believe that's intentional!

You know Antergos is dead, right?
Would be interesting to see if this issue exists on another distro too.
I did see that issue when checking in terminal, the game still loaded though. From my googling, it sounds like a package issue and possibly not a game issue.

Please, a tense ten-minute experience has a Linux build available

Quoting: PatolaHey Liam, you switched to Manjaro recently, isn't it? Have you given up on Ubuntu?
Yes I switched when the Ubuntu 32bit stuff happened. Not the first time, I'm not a die-hard x distro user, I just use whatever I fancy at the time really. No issues with Manjaro, literally none. Everything work as expected but this is waaay off-topic ;)

Though I did always want Linux users to get to play the game if I had the opportunity to do so, and fortunately it worked out.
That's what we've discussed lately. Artists want to enable as many people as possible to play their games.
Indeed, I don't think anyone in their right mind actively wants to remove options from people, it's just business.

What have you been playing and what are your thoughts?

It's had one for a long time, but now some might automatically see it. See here: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/forum/topic/3973

I guess I would be lost without WINE! Haha!
Elders Scrolls Online works out of the box with proton in Ubuntu 18.04 too. :)
Indeed it does, our livestreamer Sin enjoys it rather a lot thanks to Proton.

I've adjusted the Proton non-Steam adding section, to use a fully working example to make it clearer :)

When you pick a non-Steam game on Linux, it often cuts off the full path to it so it won't launch.
Often isn't technically correct. It only cuts off if there is a space in the path or the .exe name.
Steam will place the cut off section into the "Set Launch Options" You can copy and paste that bit back into your "Target"
True, I've adjusted that. It's pretty bad anyway, that whole system is annoying. If you copy and paste from set launch options and don't also remove it then and there, if you remove the text in set launch options after, it will then completely wipe your target and start in fields. That and I've tested four games, none work with this method...

Quoting: TheRiddickPeople should also be aware that if you use NTFS games folders (say you dual boot) then extra steps are needed to get games working good on ntfs partitions. Otherwise don't use ntfs or you'll have weird things happen.
Yup, note added!
