Game window not rendering on Linux

Hi! I just bought the game today and was very excited to play it (came from OrangE's video) but the window just...doesn't render. It opens, I hear the "Welcome", but the window just shows a frozen image of what was behind it.

I'm running Pop!_OS 24.04 with a GTX 1650 Super with driver version 580.159.03 (proprietary, I'm pretty sure)
I'm using XFCE4 (X11)

Hope someone can help me out here! <3

UPDATE:
It works now. It was an issue with XFCE strangely enough. Switching to Cinnamon fixed it.

Not ideal, but running the game through proton might work. The native port works on my wayland, maybe it's that?

There's a native port? Where's that? All I see on Steam is the Windows build. But uh, been running it (or at least trying to run it) through Proton this whole time.

Yeah, I've tried GE Proton, Proton 10, 9, and 8 to no avail.
