Unless something has changed, it plays fine through Steam with proton.

I had no problems at all as recently as this year. I think I was playing over the summer
I played over two hundred hours of the steam version on Proton 8
Played out of the box for me in steam(with proton enable) last night for me.
I did have problems with my mouse not going all the way to the right wide of the screen in Wayland though.
Seems there is a difference in Steam/GoG version?
I managed to, through Lutris, with an old cracked version. Although I had to use winetricks to install a bunch of extensions.
Is there a website that lists extensions you might need to install in winetricks for any given game?
I feel it would help a lot to have a source like that at hand…
I did, years ago, it worked perfectly. This was when DX9 was an option for it though, but given since then dxvk / etc. came out the DX11 renderer should not be an issue. In fact I’d be surprised if the game didn’t run as-is without any tweaks.
I suggest using the gog version. appdb suggests installing vcrun2010 might be needed but again, test beforehand.
vcrun2010 is as borked as is vcrun6sp6, both used by lutris installer script. It fails to install now.
Looks like the steam version runs fine while the GoG one doesn’t.
But the GoG version? It’s rated Platinum in winehq…
