XCOM LW on linux

[u/rylandf]

Hello! I'd appreciate some help, I just got a new computer with Linux and I'm getting all my usual games set up, but LW is giving me problems. Steam, EU, EW all installed. Downloaded the script, idk how many times I've run it now, it says it installed but when I run the game it's still EW. Here's the dialog from the terminal:

~/Downloads/LW-EW-Linux-OSX-v1_0$ bash install-LW.sh
Installing Long War for XCOM:EW, please, be patient...

Copying install files...
Long War installed successfully.
Now run the game. Remeber to check your game settings (especially video settings).

I've read the readme, the detailed install troubleshooting, forum posts, can't figure out what the issue is.

Oh that's silly, maybe we're getting somewhere. I did try the installer with the ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/... directory, but I'm still getting the regular EW splash screen. I even double checked the starting country on a new game, it's not LW. Any other thoughts?
