I am trying to play the Linux version of Bean's Quest purchased from the Humble Store. I extracted the tar file but I get the following error when trying to run the game:

error while loading shared libraries: libXrandr.so.2 cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory

Is there a way to resolve this dependency?

I also tried installing the Windows .msi version as a non steam game but the msi just exits when I open it and proton is greyed out when trying to select it.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

True. But the only other way I can think of is to extract the Arch packages and add the libs too $LD_LIBRARY_PATH , which might end up being more trouble than it's worth because you'd likely need the libraries from libxrandr's dependencies as well. For example adding

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/foo/lib:/home/myself/lib

to .bashrc

I haven't messed around with it much, but I wonder if you could use an overlay like rwfus to install the libs.

Apon your referral, I've read the source files for rwfus.
I believe it would work, however I'd highly recommend against it. If you do try it, use it with the utmost care. It has some flaws; I mean if the warning in README.md wasn't obvious enough, lol.
