Linux/Proton Compatibility Update

Idle Hacking: An Inaction RPG · published 7 Apr 2026, 04:10 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Today an update was pushed out to the Windows client, targeting Linux users who are running the game using Steam's Proton compatibility layer. There was an issue with Electron - the wrapper used to turn a browser based game into an application - which caused drop down menus to be rendered under the application window. This behavior has been fixed, and now the game should be fully functional under Proton.

Ideally, I would like Linux users to be able to run the game using the Linux native application, but some distributions with various mixtures of Desktop Environment/Window Managers have issues with the Electron based application. I am continuing to work on improving native Linux support wherever possible, but today's update at least provides a fix to the Proton compatibility fallback that all Linux users have available.
