Small update from [the developer](https://twitter.com/SpringloadedDev/status/1456932990580232192). > we have temporarily tried going past this issue without letting it crash - there will just be no music in proton...or....it will crash somewhere...

Another update from [the developer](https://twitter.com/SpringloadedDev/status/1457022674408861702) They have pushed the above mentioned workaround. For now, on Proton, there is no music.

A comment from the developer on this: > We embed the resources, so proton doesn't understand the way the file handling is done - it uncompresses a file, loads it...

Hi, when you say "needs tests", do you mean it must be compiled and tested, or do you mean you need to write unit tests for it?

Ah! Well thanks a lot for looking into this. I'm sure the devs will appreciate it too since they're a small team.

> Replying to https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/5288#issuecomment-974359397 Woop woop! Gave it a quick test and it works 100%. Thanks. :) I'll wait for it to make its way through to a stable Proton...

Update. This latest fix does make the menu music work, but in-game still broken. I have not done any troubleshooting yet though, and I think it might be best to...

We tried the 7.0-4 release candidate which says it fixes the music, however it still seems to be the same thing where the title music works, but not in-game.

Can confirm that with recent GE builds the game similarly to the OP starts and then fails with "Steamworks initialization failed".

Have at least one report of the "Steamworks initialization failed" thing happening on Windows too. https://steamcommunity.com/app/1604030/discussions/0/5154944131336583253/
