It creates a huge log file, just in a couple of seconds reached 200MB. It appears to be repeating infinitely the lines:

Running on linux: <Link removed by moderator>

Not perfect way to make it running but works.

Hello @illusioon, the workaround in the video you posted is legally problematic and has been removed.

Would be nice if proton got it to work :\ Without "steam obscure.exe" achievements wont unlock :( I Tested every single proton none worked.

The only way i got it to work was "legally problematic".

Is there a solution to the problem yet? Is it already being worked on. It does not work on the Steam deck. But ObsCure 2 is compatible with the Steam deck.
