Doesn't this have a native Linux build? Why are you running the Windows version aside from 'because I can?'
I can't speak for them, but in my experience with GOG games launched via Heroic launcher, the windows version of the games tracks my progress and achievements with my GOG account but the Linux versions never do. So that's why I personally choose Windows versions of at least GOG games.
It does. I've bought the Windows version regardless so I can test the game on different machines.
-EDIT- ...and just came to mind that some Linux games does not run at all on the opi 5 due to poor vulkan support -- which might be the case of this game as well.
t. Bought the TMNT linux native brawler game (forgot its name now -- TMNT something something shredder) and the game refused to run. Then, bought the windows version right after and the game ran smoothly.
