I’m currently trying to get Transistor to run.
EndeavourOS, Nvidia gpu, and I have the Windows version that was free on Epic that one time, so ideally I’d like to run it through Heroic.

According to PCGamingWiki, it can be run DRM-free with the -AUTH_LOGIN=unused launch option, so that’s what I’d like to do.

EDIT:
I want to be able to sideload the game files

Looking on ProtonDB, people mainly suggest setting the compability to Windows XP, and it seems to run best with Proton Experimental. One report mentions adding it to Steam to launch it there, but it’s all the same for me:

Quick blackscreen with the game trying to launch, and then it crashes back to desktop.

Did anyone get it to run recently? Any other ideas I might’ve missed?
