Workaround is installing the game(if need to be installed) with Bottles(preferably in a location you can access), then add it to Steam as a non-steam game, change the compatibility layer to “experimental” or anything, then launch. I did this to the OG GTA:SA just a few days ago, and it works like a charm. You can also try using Bottles to launch it but i haven’t tried it.
For sure, same here, but my heads at this was vibe coded to work on windows. It’s bound to have quirks and because if that, I feel it increases the chances of glitches using compatibility layers.
If it’s all vibe coded, couldn’t be that hard to make this work in Linux or with proton? I don’t use windows.
The Linux version is here, you still need to obtain the original game files to play it though.
Fuck yeah, thanks. I was playing this briefly on shad4 or whatever the emulator was on my deck. Ran a bit rough. Can’t wait to try this out!
Also the windows version works via heroic including online play

I’m too lazy for installing bottles, I just launch the game installer directly with the steam compatibility. One less piece of software to update.
…i can do that? I didn’t know i can do that.
I usually use Lutris; it automatically uses whatever GE wine version but you can direct it to use whatever Proton version youd like.
