Splitgate 2 Beta launched today (about 2 hours ago). I still haven't been able to play it yet. I downloaded it on Steam on Linux the moment it released, but sadly the game is locked to Steam Deck for Proton support. According to 1047, even Steam Deck support is experimental and they hope to fully support Linux in general sometime after the official launch (following the Beta). I rebooted into Windows, as soon as I saw it wouldn't work with Proton, and it wouldn't download the game. It stayed at 0% for an hour. I then decided to just wait and install Windows updates instead. That took about an hour (including a new AMD driver). Now it's downloading and locked on 3 minutes remaining for I guess eternity (still at 0% downloaded). Linux downloaded it in about 2 minutes...
