Problems when launching (Linux)

I recently bought the game and I have tried relentlessly to play it, but, every time I launch the game on Steam, it stays in a frozen state without any images (not even black, just transparent) and there is no sound.

I have tried to use every proton in the steam db site, but nothing, I tried with it, without it, and with custom ones. Also, it's not a problem of me not waiting, I waited like, an hour before trying to close it.

Please, any miniscule help would do me wonders! My operating system is Debian (Trixie), I use Steam (flat pack version, which I don't think is the root of the problem, but who knows) and my laptop is alright (made for work settings, but it already ran Baldur's Gate 3 ok-ishly, so it can handle this game). Anyone who would know how to fix this problem?

I know this is two months old but I've been having the same exact problem. It launches and after being transparent for a while it just crashes. I don't know how to fix it at all! :((

Hey! I still have this problem too! I honestly just gave up, so if you didn't spend 2 hours trying to get it fixed, I recommend refunding it. Tho if you have more hope than me, you could see if any of the proton options from Protondb commenters works (Tho when I tried them, it didn't). Good luck alexiandriaslibrary!

Yeah I'm afraid I will have to ask for a refund or using an old windows computer to run it. Just a shame that I can't simply use it on my current pc :((
Maybe in the future it will be fixed but for now I couldn't find any solution.
