They had me at "rescue your dog".
- they had me at "fight the nazis"
John Wick but even better cause I get to kill nazis? Hell yeah!
Anyone else having issues getting it to run?
- My mouse escaped the window, so I changed the launch options:
  gamescope --force-grab-cursor -w (monitorwidth) -h (monitorheight) %command%
  I kinda wish gamescope had a good option to skip that w,h, but no one's told me about one yet.
  
  Hmm, you could try using scopebuddy, which comes included with Bazzite. You can include any config options in there if you want, but specifically it supports options for automatically configuring width and height, and you can add more arguments as well. Final command here might look like:
  
  scb --force-grab-cursor %command%
  I also use a lot of custom configs, for example I'm tinkering with Wayland atm, but keep a gamescope config I use like this:
  
  SCB_CONF="gamescope.conf" scb %command%
  The shorter syntax is really nice, and it's nice to be able to tweak a bunch of global options like PROTON_WAYLAND and PROTON_ENABLE_HDR without having to manage huge commands in Steam.
- It's not Linux native according to the icons in Steam, so try one of the Proton compatibility layers.
  Proton Hotfix wouldn't run it for me but Proton 9.0 got me into the game's prologue and difficulty select (which requires walking around). Haven't played any further than that though, so can't tell if there are to be any problems with other levels.
  Was able to modify sound, graphics and mouse settings with no trouble too.
  Edit: Made it through to the first intermission screen with no problems. Well, at least not software related. Skill issues are another matter.
  
  Hmm, still not working for me. 8, 9, Experimental, and Hotfix all fail to run the game.
  Edit: Actually, looks like I might have a different problem. Proton seems to be failing to launch anything at all.
  Edit 2: Looks like something went wrong with the way Proton interacts with NTFS drives. Moving the install back to the primary ext4 drive fixed it. Removing the compatdata folders on the NTFS volume and replacing it with a symlink to the primary compatdata folder also fixes it. Weird, because this is the first time I've encountered this issue, but it's apparently fairly common.
