Works fine w/ steam and "Proton Experimental" under "Linux 5.10.154-1-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Nov 10 20:51:28 UTC 2022 x86_64 GNU/Linux". I had to install the package "sdl_ttf" though; without it, the game just hung at the inital screen that says "Loading".

If this update is like the old version, it has bundled dependencies on glibc and SDL 1.2. You can overwrite the outdated glibc libraries with symlinks to the system glibc. SDL, SDL_image, and SDL_ttf can be relinked to sdl12-compat, which implements the SDL1.2 ABI using the maintained SDL2 libraries. (edit: I forgot this is a Windows-only release, so maybe disregard this.)
