I tried with xorg-hwe for updates X drivers, nouveau, and kernel 5.0; using
nouveau gets me a black screen. You can hear the game’s intro and the menu item
audible feedback, but there’s no on-screen rendered image at all, as if all
graphics were rendered offscreen and not re-routed to the current display.

Using nouveau with other DirectX-based games works, at a lower performance
level, though.
