I don't know if it matters, but before I was on Windows and I didn't reset my other drives where my games are during the transition to Linux. and i have no error when i verify the game

I don't know about your other games, but this one specifically in on the linux disk (which is good).

Go to the game's properties, to the compatibility tab, check the checkmark there and take a screenshot

Put the checkmark on the right side and screenshot again
