Awesome to hear! May I ask how you've gotten Space Engineers to work?

  You might know already, but https://www.protondb.com/ https://www.protondb.com/ has user reports for Proton games, the reports often include tweaks if a game doesn't work without tweaking.

    Yeah, I've checked there already, but the steps just didn't seem to work for me (it's a .NET/Mono app). Maybe it's just my specific system configuration or something ...

      There's an unofficial script which installs a bunch of dependencies in the correct order [0]. Run the autoprefix-patcher.py. It's unofficial and it's magic that I haven't taken too much time to understand. Your mileage may vary.

        Thanks for the link! I'll be sure to try that out.

  Space Engineers doesn't work out-of-the-box on Linux. But you can right-click on it in the list in Steam and check the box that says "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool". Then select a version of compatibility tools from the list and see if it starts up. For me, it started fine with 4.11-13. There's also a room in Keen Software House's Discord which is dedicated for unofficial Linux help. Sometimes a patch will break the game in an unexpected way. For example I remember a patch early this year that made it so that the version check would crash the game on Linux (something to do with KSH's HTTPS certificate) and the easiest solution was to just null-route the patch server address in iptables or blacklist the domain in pihole until a later patch fixed the problem.
