Quoting: mylkaThe Inner World Linux Version does not work at all. You need Proton.
maybe it works with the recommended Ubuntu 12.04, but no one uses a 11 yrs old OS
That's what Steam Linux Runtime for.

Hah, I remember the name of Malice from somewhere. I am delighted to see both Malice and Shrak works fine with modern source ports such as QuakeSpasm Spiked.

As far as I can see, they've still been pretty silent about the Native Linux support that was mentioned on the original crowdfunding campaign. A lot has changed since then though. Hopefully it will work okay in Proton if they're no longer doing that.
No, they promised native Linux support, nothing less is acceptable. Video game development is a business, not charity. "We promised you apple tart but decided to not bother, here take an apple instead and don't cry" should never be the norm.

Well, I don't have "played on more than one device" section probably because I exclusively play on Linux. B-)

Classic racer Re-Volt returned to Steam — here's how to work it on Steam Deck / Linux

Quoting: ElectricPrismI guess I forgot what I read and later bought this game, then Proton + Steam Deck throws error "Can't set view-port"

I could go through the effort to make it run, but then I have hundreds of titles and the idea of spending money and not having something work is bad service -- I hope they get it sorted out -- with the tens of thousands of other games that play on Proton just fine -- they should get this sorted.

I never played this before so I'm not nostalgic, it just looked like fun and reminiscent of a time period where games were really difficult & rewarding.
Use Luxorpeda instead of Ptoton as the article suggests.

Quoting: Liam DaweComplaining about it enabling a game work on Linux, and berating a developer because they chose not to do a Native build doesn't really help anyone at this point.
Kindly pointing a broken promise is not berating. Please do not take things out of context.

It is worth mentioning that the dev uses Proton as an excuse for not even trying to make previously promised Linux version. I rather pass.
