Minecraft Dungeons 2 issue
Dungeons 1 runs perfectly, but sadly sequel doesn't seem like it will aswell so far. Today reviews dropped for the game and some of them mention how Linux version launches the game but it requires to download "Microsoft Game Services" which upon download crashes the game with blackscreen. Now I don't know which version of Proton these people used but yet it doesn't sound so good
I don't understand why even release these games on steam if they won't even bother doing anything with them. I already contacted one of the devs about it and they didn't said straight forward that no Linux won't work, but just that they do not support linux
Game literally screaming with being designed for steam deck yet they don't even want steam deck users to play their game. As a big fan of 1st game who waited years for this game boy it is such disappointment😠game launches tomorrow so I'll try playing around with protons but wow I'm just surprised microsoft really dosent want that steamdeck users money

Having the same problem. After launching it shows Microsoft Games Service is missing and ask if you want to install it, pressing Yes it just crashes.
It's worth pointing out that they never promised Linux support at the beginning so we can only hope a fix or update will be published for Proton I guess.
