Drinks With Abbey (1201870)

[Simmonz]

I tried running Drinks With Abbey using Proton but it crashes at launch. The Steam AppID of the game is 1201870. I added PROTON_LOG=1 %command% to the game's launch and got the following log:

steam-1201870.log

I have checked whether there are updates for my system available and I am up to date

What stood out to me in that was the fact there is a .sh executible. It means that they compiled a Linux version without even knowing it. I opened up the game folder and manually ran the .sh file and it opened a native Linux version. If you can force Steam to do that automatically it would allow people to run the game without any tinkering or even having to use Proton. Just an idea.
