does anyone here have experience with running HD2 on Linux mint? It has been running perfectly stable for a while last couple months) but now, when i play it through steam, or rather try to, it refuses to launch.

im only software literate to an extent and this is out of my understanding if its a Linux thing or steam thing or system thing.

I've had the game for over a year and for the most part it worked no problem on Ubuntu, but there were odd times it didn't for some reason.

Nvidia driver was the issue one time, and the other was resolved by changing proton version. I'll look into if it runs fine on my box tomorrow.

*tomorrow: I had some 403 errors at the title screen for a couple minutes, but I eventually got in. "Proton Experimental" is the version I use, nvidia driver version is 580.
