Cannot run demo in Proton, a.k.a Steam Linux / whatever. Seems like an MZ issue, but some MZ games work fine, a.k.a https://store.steampowered.com/app/1719130/The_Ghost_Cage/ But more recent games, like https://doctorspacebar.itch.io/heroes-of-oakenhaven don't work, even as a Run Non-Steam Game.

Now that I've given you a Proton (In)compatibility report, well, there's no new content, right? So, I wish you luck on gam mak!

Thanks a lot for reporting! It may be because of the updated NW version of the engine, or maybe incorrect greenworks files? Also I don't have experience in Proton: do you perhaps know if games launched in that way are considered for Linux or Windows by Steam? I'll look for it.

Itch has the updated demo as well, does that work?

The new demo is just the itch version with some fixes. There isn't extra content, apart from a single extra banter over the spikes.

Also, I have zero knowledge in the matter, but  the steam demo version is not strictly "windows", but "web", and greenwork files for linux are uploaded with it. Are RPG maker web games compatible with linux? Because in that case MAYBE it might work without Proton.

Wine alone can't work. Used these Launch Options: "PROTON_LOG=1 WINEDEBUG=+process %command%" got:

"Cloud management controller initialization aborted as CBCM is not enabled."

From half a year ago says it's a Selenium Version issue?

I checked the two games you mentioned, and it seems only the working one had their files crypted into the .exe, so it may be a matter of packaging. 

But other than looking at different ways to compress my files, I don't know what else to do.

Well, at least it's not a common platform, and you're not catering to the Steam Deck audience, which I don't have so I can't help you there.

Good luck with the game!

I will actually try to get it to work on the steam deck, since I have a friend with it and a fellow dev that managed to do it. C:

Woo! Yay for friends and stuff! Good luck!
