I am using Linux Mint. When I clicked to download, it is suddenly downloaded. Then I clicked launch and steam said “An error occured while launching this game: Invalid Game Configuration”. I looked the game files in common/steamplay and there is nothing. I clicked “verify integrity of software files” and steam said “all 0 files successfully validated”. What can I do? Thanks for any help.

(btw I already downloaded some games from steam and this is my first error)

Hi the steam version does not yet work on Linux, because steam defaults to run the app with wine/proton. You have to self compile screenplay for now.
