You need some knowledge of the command line and symlinks to make it work.
Significant Bugs:Yes
It will require some changes to the executable, but works.
On Steam, user rzrx researched and realized that the "Launcher.exe" that the game runs has issues locating the game.
The workaround as follows, from the post on Steam..
My workaround is very silly... i have forced the Steam to execute the game itself rather than a launcher. If you navigate to the folder with the game you can backup the original Launcher.exe (for example "mv Launcher.exe Launcher.exe.back") and create a symlink to the game executable ("ln -s WarInTheEast2.exe Launcher.exe").
I made it run using this method by running Proton 5.0-10. No flickering and runs well.
