How was the drink, man? Did you enjoy it?

FTFY. Maybe it'll help fixing OP's problems... and no, I'm not talking about his problems with the game!

Honestly, I strongly suggest you to install Windows™ and play your Windows™ games the way they are meant to.

If you think "Linux support is irrelevant", then may the glorious WINE save you!

IMO, your position is an embarrassment to Linux gaming! You are openly admitting that developers should not bother making Linux versions; "Linux players" such as yourself will purchase their games regardless.

There are a lot of true native Linux games with full support, yet some ("Proton/DXVK era") Linux wannabees keep wasting money supporting Windows™ gaming! Way to go! :(

Have fun demanding support from the devs or Valve®.

They are few, but they do exist: Egosoft ("X series") and Squad ("Kerbal Space Program"), for example, both provide access to game API and encourage modding community.

Unless WINE was used as an official port (e.g. "FlatOut 2"). But this is not the case here.

Nope. Only for the games in the "Proton Whitelist". Everything else is a gamble on the buyer's expense. But the "Generation Proton" does not care, they want to play pretend to be "Linux gamers" and at the same time continue playing their Windows™ games.

Spot on!

What part of wanting GoG to be mildly informed and thus inform and help their customers is unreasonable? I am listening.

Steam barely offers technical support at all, and in fact sell games that require mods or fan patches to even run on modern systems. Good luck getting a better experience there.

GOG didn't sell you a Linux game. If you wan to run it on Linux, that's on you.

It has nothing to do with them being informed or helpful. It has to do with you expecting them to support something that makes no sense for them to support. Your expectations are unreasonable. Period.

You bought something that was clearly marked as being supported for certain systems, of which yours was not one of them.

If you put diesel in a gas engine you have no right to complain when the engine breaks. And you should have no expectation that the company that you bought the car from will give you advice on how to convert your engine to run diesel. It's a dumb analogy, but it's basically the exact thing you're complaining about.

To be fair, I give the middle finger to Linux users just on general principal.

A more whiny bunch of entitled babies you'll never find.

I mean i hope he did, Wine is good stuff from what i hear.

They are mildly informed and thus notified you before purchase that the game is only supported on Windows 7, 8 and 10. As such, to expect support for unsupported (you notice that dichotomy? support <-> unsupported?) platforms is very unreasonable indeed.

Thanks for the warning. Wish you had said that before the last time I replied to you. I'll try not to repeat that mistake.

this topic reminds me of the one from last week with that bass lady.

i started responding to this 3 different times in 3 different ways but i realise this is completely pointless and a "venting" thread.

i mean the game is working on wine, it's just mods that are the problem... pretty much no one supports mods. even the guys who encourage it only go so far and don't support it with any liable responsibility.

even then, it's a windows game, sold as a windows only game.

if you bought some paper scissors from a stationary store and then went back to get help because they're pretty useless for dissecting frogs they'd throw you out of the store.
complaining that the store didn't help you perform intricate frog surgery with the round-nosed paper scissors is beyond ridiculous.
demanding they hire a frog surgery support specialist to support your stationary fuelled frankensteinian fetishes is just way beyond the pale.

i wish you luck in your veterinarian horror show.

Your post is unreasonable because you are expecting GOG devs to spend extraordinary amounts of time and energy to solve huge technical problems for you. Yet you aren't paying them to do that.

If they were to take up your request, and also similar requests from others, then GOG would be going bankrupt mighty fast.

Isn't this like going to a mechanic's shop to complain about a bad part that YOU put in your vehicle yourself, then getting mad that the shop won't fix it for you for free?

Then I realized that I'm posting in a troll thread and none of this really matters, man!

Unless GoG have made some slight unmentioned changes that interfere with getting stuff to work.

Steam is still worse by controlling what version you have.
