Problems running Bean's Quest

I am trying to play the Linux version of Bean's Quest purchased from the Humble Store. I extracted the tar file but I get the following error when trying to run the game:

error while loading shared libraries: libXrandr.so.2 cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory

Is there a way to resolve this dependency?

I also tried installing the Windows .msi version as a non steam game but the msi just exits when I open it and proton is greyed out when trying to select it.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

For the windows .msi version, you might try installing it on a windows computer and then copy the install directory over to the deck. Then you can add the executable to steam as a non-steam game, and force proton through the "force compatibility tool" menu.

I believe the libXrandr.so.2 library can normally be installed on Arch by installing the libxrandr package, but I'm not sure how to install that on SteamOS without unlocking the filesystem.

Installing the msi to a windows machine, copying the files and running the executable with proton did the trick! Thank you so much!

Yeah, but with steamOS being immutable you can't install stuff from pacman without unlocking it first.

I haven't messed around with it much, but I wonder if you could use an overlay like rwfus to install the libs.
