looks like you dont have libGLU. or at least a version it wants... seems a linux native game?
might have more luck running the windows version

but ill try it...

the issue is the game is built against a certain set of libs, so either you have to get those libs (with the right versions, which usually isnt documented anywhere and you just have to keep adding new libs as the logs mention them) in order to run the game, or you can use the windows version under wine and you dont
its pretty common in linux for library updates to break games, since the games themselves wont update to use the newer libs, in most cases, esp big commercial games
Running a windows game via wine bypasses that
anyway you can try installing libGLU and see if that gets you anywhere
that being said it is possible to find all the libs you need, but linux native games also tend to get pretty buggy over time or receive no support in the long run from the developer.. meanwhile the windows version will tend to have more focused bug fixes and be better maintained
not true for all games of course, but its a pretty significant trend among commercially developed games

I see thanks
Running the game with the steam runtime enabled would also be worth a shot

Hi I'm having another problem when ever I try to download a game it freezes and gets stuck at 1% because my hard drive isn't being utilized or something
