That would require the Steam runtime. I will try some other runners in version 7 first, I expect they should have the same patches applied:

there should be runner settings

Oh yes, there are! They are all nicely organized, with short description using the Gnome UI language. I prefer Bottles so much to the other launchers but I could get some games to run in the past only using Lutris with its install script database...

nice write up, thank you!

Long time for me too :) but the game ran here almost perfectly sometime after its release, at high or even maximum settings at that.

(I don't remember the version I used, though)

lutris-GE-Proton8-26

is the latest version available within Bottles, I will look into newer versions!

I will rather skip the Vulkan version then, thank you. I will update the post with version information but how do I learn the amdgpu firmware versions please?

The game used to work some half year ago. After the massive update I deleted the files and redownloaded the whole game anew

"Remind me again why game industry consolidation is a good thing?"

I didn't realize there is such a fancy name for Microsoft buying up market share

Wait, are their screws not metal?!

In Czech one could say Amíci! Latin anyone?
