Thanks for the reply. I'm familiar with Lutris but I don't believe I had tried it for VTS-POG.
I'll give this a shot later and report my findings.
let me know how it goes ♥
Lutris+Proton-GE was the trick!
I was given a free copy to test with some months back that I couldn't get working.Now that I have this running, I'm buying a copy.
Still would be great to see a native Linux version but this definitely helps!
