"Mad Max" from Steam (native for Linux) won't start
 

I have "Mad Max" original on Steam and so far it has always been working just fine. But now after I installed it, it won't run at all. I click the "play" button, it thinks for a few seconds like it's loading, then stops and the "running" button changes into "play" again.
I tried the solution in this topic: https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...am-4175613920/ but that didn't fix it and the game still won't run.
I also tried running the MadMax executable from terminal and saw a message that it's looking for liblber-2.4.so.2, so I installed openldap-2.6 from Arch repo but that didn't fix it either. What's worse, opening openldap manually with Engrampa showed that no such a file exists in that package.
So I'm out of ideas what else to try to make "Mad Max" run natively in Linux. I suppose I could force it to run with Proton but I don't want to, especially since the game has a native linux version.

So you've purchased a proprietary game via the proprietary DRM platform Steam, but it will not start.

In which case, you should be talking to Steam Support.

I will. But the weird thing is that since 2015 it has always been working fine, no matter Windows or Linux. But as of two months ago I no longer have Windows (only Linux now). And now the game won't start.
I was simply hoping that there might be an easier and faster solution that IDK about, that's why I cam here to ask. But I guess I'll have to ask Steam after all.
