Hello, recently I've tried to find a way to play Alien Swarm: Reactive Drop (a game on Steam) but so far I could not find any success. The game does not have a native Linux version, it's Windows-only, and any compatibility tool I tried using through Steam did not work. All it would do is pop up a window saying that the game is launching (as usual), and then nothing happens. The green play button returns to normal and no window or error appears.
Though, there's a different story when I launch the executable using wine in the game's directory. It actually loads in. The problem is - is that I can't do anything with it cause Steam isn't running. Basically giving me the only option to Quit, I can't even open the dev console. Maybe I can but I haven't explored all options yet, but basically: Run through Steam, game won't start, run executable using wine, game starts but not in a functional state.
I also tried using Lutris and screwed around with the settings, even using the two installers that were offered for the game in search. Nothing. There's just no way to go around it and I don't know what to do. The developers promised a Linux version about like... five or six years ago? And nothing happened with that. Can't do anything with this problem.
EDIT: I managed to open the console by running the command "wine reactivedrop -console". Here's what it says: https://files.catbox.moe/i2j6am.png

Have you checked here? Try deleting the Wineprefix and try to launch again as well.

I deleted the prefix from steamapps/compatdata and nothing happened. Tried running on Proton Experimental.

Does any game work for you? What are your specs?
