I confirm:

• [x] that I haven't found an existing compatibility report for this game.
• [x] that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available.

Symptoms

• The game crashes before entering the main menu
• The reason for the crash seems to be SteamAPI_Init() failing (as seen in the games crash log - line 262)
• [WORKAROUND] Launching the game's *.exe via Lutris (not via Steam) results in the game launching to the login screen, where the player can login with a separately created game account on the dev's website. From here the game is playable and works as expected (without Steamworks functionality of course).

Reproduction

1. Launch the windows version of the game via Steam. After the loading icon in the bottom left corner the game will crash.

Further notes

• The game has a native Linux version which is not very playable (visual glitches, bad performance) atm. Launching the .exe via Lutris and with ACO compiler enabled works much better for me.

Reproduce the crash by launching ECO through Steam, then compare the game crash log and Proton log linked in the report, focusing on the SteamAPI_Init() failure. The existing Lutris launch is a workaround; done would require identifying the Proton compatibility issue and confirming a fix without losing the reported game functionality.
