Thimbleweed Park Linux Steam - Can't Launch Game

Support
1

Hi

I’ve just bought the game after being a big fan of the Monkey Island games and playing the Delores mini game, but can’t get it to launch (Linux Mint 21.3). I’ve got a very old GFX card (GeForce GTS 450), but should be enough to play as the Delores game work flawlessly.

I’ve tried to launch the game in compatibility mode (using Legacy Steam Runtime 1.0 and Scout 1.0) and get the crosshair cursor for 5-10 seconds, then nothing and back to Steam library.

Any help gratefully received!

Thanks

I hate to suggest it, but have you tried running the Windows version with Proton instead?

And have you contacted the support?

GFX card should be no issue. The game even runs on my old Phenom II without a GFX card just fine.
Did you “Verify integrity of game files”?
Did you try starting the game from a terminal, to see if some errors shows up?
Also ~/.local/share/Terrible Toybox/Thimbleweed Park/Log.txt might show something helpful.
