does anyone here have experience with running HD2 on Linux mint? It has been running perfectly stable for a while last couple months) but now, when i play it through steam, or rather try to, it refuses to launch.

im only software literate to an extent and this is out of my understanding if its a Linux thing or steam thing or system thing.

Just checked: nothing in the launch options, simply change Compatibility to "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool" and choose "Proton Experimental".

Works great:

My performance settings (FPS capped at 125 because my monitor is only 60Hz anyway):

Uncapped FPS ~200fps:

Choosing Experimental worked, thank you so much!
