Are you able to get Arcanum to run on Windows 10+ or Linux? My nostalgia sense wants to do another playthrough or 10 but every time I try it just ... won't work.

I got it on Steam if that helps. There usually isn't comparability issues released on there and anything from XP to 11 seems fine. No mention of Linux.

I have it on Steam as well but I just cannot get it to load.

Not sure. I had no issues on 11. If it's happening in Linux and Win,.I'm guessing it more hardware related. Try disconnecting any additional monitors, installing to another disk, that kinda stuff. I was going to suggest making a new Win profile and signing into that—I've had that fix launching old games—but dunno if that'll help.
