I got it installed through the old installer, the new one refused to install Edge WebView and consequently crashed when I tried to ignore that part. However, the game itself, while starting, does not render correctly, as seen here.

Tried to run it through Wine-GE as well as Proton but both with the same result.

You need to be VERY specific about versions. Not just "old" or "new", and then give context to where and how you're installing things.

When you're asking for help, try to maximize the context and details so people aren't as lost as you.

There are only two launchers to choose from, so I'm not sure how much more specific you want me to be? lol

And I obviously installed them through Lutris & WINE in their standard folders. Not sure how else I'm supposed to do it.

When you're trying to help, try to actually know something about the topic so you aren't just giving empty advice.

It was not obvious that you used Lutris at all from the prior context given. There's about a half dozen active tools people use to install Windows games via Wine, including directly in Wine itself.

I said that I tried to run it through Wine-GE, which requires something like Lutris. But what difference would it make anyway? It still installs through Wine. Also, the previous commenter did not talk about Lutris, but was referencing the two installers. Which, as I already said, there's only two - the old and the new one, which I both referenced accordingly.

So I did my due diligence in providing information, then get called out for not providing information about the things that I already did provide. That's just bitching for the sake of it at this point and completely unhelpful. If you need more information then tell me what type of info you need, instead of listing something that I clearly already mentioned.
