Using There with Linux #4

Hello, I know this is probably not in your wheelhouse and isn't a priority, but I am keen on using There in Linux. This works fairly well, I am able to login and navigate around in the game. However, when clicking on interactable objects (opening the WebView2 browser), the browser pops up but nothing renders inside of it.

WINE (the software used to run Windows programs in Linux) has two Windows Registry keys that are supposed to control how and which browsers are opened by applications:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER|Software|Wine|WineBrowser|Browsers and
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT|http[s]|shell|open|command

Editing these seemed to do nothing. One time I edited one of them (can't remember) and There stopped running with a "Couldn't find Edge installation" error... I installed Edge alongside There, doesn't seem to make a difference.

The most curious thing is, the browser-in-game that pops up (presumably WebView2) is not Edge as far as I can tell, but an old Internet Explorer. I have no idea why the game is using that, as WebView2 is installed as default, and Edge is also installed...

Anyway, if all of this is greek to you, it's cool. I was just sending something in case you actually knew what might be going on. Cheers.
