The failure to start makes this unplayable.
The game installed and ran without issue the first time I played. The second time, it immediately got stuck in a windowed black screen that didn't change within a few minutes. I tried many things, nothing worked:
Different startup modes (default, OpenGL, no mods) though worth noting that I'm not using mods. I tried a bunch of different Compatibility modes (none, Steam Linux Runtime 1.0, Proton 9, Proton 7, Proton Experimental).
From the ~/.config/unity3d/Pugstorm/Core Keeper/Player.log, the most suspicious lines were:
PlatformConfiguration: platform configuration for variant Linux was not found.
PlatformConfiguration: loading platform configuration for variant PC.
I also tried running the executable directly with Wine. It created a fullscreen black window, and then crashed. There were a lot of warning logs, but no clear cause in Player.log.
I tried uninstalling the game and deleting all of my save data to start with a clean slate, but it still wouldn't start!
As long as you don't mind rebooting your computer, it's not
Game crashes my entire system about every other session that I play. Usually during a loading screen it locks up everything and I need to reboot the computer.
I initially tried playing without proton and it generally worked, but prevented my mouse from displaying when the game was alt-tabbed. While using proton I had no issues.
