I think the problem is that the itch release is literally the same build as steam's, but the dev didn't do a very good job of neutering the "ask a steam api" bit. They accept "lol what is steam?" as a valid answer, but not "steam is responding, and says you own 0 copies of game 8675309".
First, check protondb. Then put a comment up on itch.io. Is anybody else complaining? Is anybody else commenting on the game at all?
Add the game to heroic and let heroic add it to Steam? I recommend always using either the latest proton-ge, or the latest of the previous proton-ge (9.27).
Or remove the steamapi library from the game's folder. Or add a steam_appid.txt.
Or a last resort would be Goldberg.
I'm a little disappointed that Jenny's number doesn't correspond to an actual appid...
Try using it with a local area code for store loyalty cards. It usually works.
I found the steam library file but when the I delete the file the game crashes. With the heroic the game just crashes after a long black screen. No info on db or itch.io I left a comment on itch.io. The game is native Linux so no proton is needed. Maybe I should try running the windows version.
You might be the first person to run the Linux build, including the developer. I have a few games where the Linux version is a mess, so I have to use the Windows ver. "Win32 is Linux's stable gaming API".
You could also try replacing the steam lib with an emulator like https://mr_goldberg.gitlab.io/goldberg_emulator/
FYI: https://github.com/Detanup01/gbe_fork
Still gets updates, unlike original Goldberg
Thanks, was wondering
I will try it if I do not find another solution.
