I apologise we’re not able to provide any advice in this scenario, as we don’t support Linux in any official capacity. However, there is a small community of Linux players here, that may be able to help.

Understandable

After some research, many games are impacted.
For fellow Linux players : a kernel update (6.8.9/LTS 6.6.30) introduced this error with AMD GPU drivers.

You need to either roll back to a previous version of the kernel, or wait for an update.

Launcher options not appearing on Linux?

Thanks for the heads-up. I’ll stay on Linux 6.8.8.

I updated to 6.9.1 today and I’ve seen a drop in performance when lots of things happen at once (green gas, fire, lots of enemies).

However, the game remained responsive, so I guess it’s all right.
