I dont want to put oil in the Win10/11 Flamewar, but i want to know if there are _technical_ reasons this game has a dependency on Win10+?

Having a Win7 Version OR native Linux version OR a "guaranteed" good proton/wine support would be a buy.

I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate. There's a popup when starting the game that says api-ms-win-downlevel-kernel32-l2-1-0.dll is missing, but after closing the popup the game runs perfectly fine.

The missing DLL is part of a Windows 7 telemetry update and is a dependency of certain verions of dbghelp.dll used by some Unreal Engine 4 based games.

The game does not officially support Windows 7 though, so any problems from W7 users will be ignored. Also, the game could stop working in Windows 7 at any time without notcie.

I'm playing on linux (Mint 19.3) with a 1050ti via proton 4.2, it works just fine (except the intro movies).
