This game does not follow the XDG Base Directory Specification on Linux.

System requirements

The game needs a Shader Model 2.0 capable GPU as it makes use of modern OpenGL features. The Intel drivers that are bundled with Windows ("Vendor: Microsoft Corporation") do not include any OpenGL support and therefore won't work.

The Open Source Intel Mesa drivers offer more OpenGL features than their Windows counterparts which is why older graphics card will work.
