I've intermittently tried to get Shogun 2 running on Linux over the past two years and have not been able to get it to boot up. The native Linux version has been broken for a while, so this is great news.

Oh damn, you're right. I just tried it with Steam Play turned off and it wouldn't even launch.

I swear it was already playable via Proton though. I even installed it on Steam Deck just for shits & giggles a couple months ago and it worked, albeit not a great experience on a 7" screen. Still, any improvements are good.
