Hi, I believe you need dot.net 7.x for the game to start, it doesn't work with releases 8.0 onwards on my linux either (kubuntu).

dot.net 7 has reached end of life so was removed from the repositories (same on ubuntu). You can still install it manually though. On ubuntu we have the possibility to add a dedicated ppa to retrieve the access to dot.net 7.x. I understand something similar can be done on fedora by manually adding a "key".

Here's a link to a Microsoft page explaining how this can be done in Fedora: [https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/install/linux-fedora]

Hope that helps!

I'm running Fedora 40, and I was able to install the .net 7 package from Fedora 39:

DNF_VAR_releasever=39 dnf install dotnet-sdk-7.0
