** Update: Found working settings: Mint Cinnamon **
I've tested this today - only single-user but it runs via installing Steam in PlayOnLinux (so that you are running the 'Windows' Steam) and then installing as usual. Some things I did find (they sound more complicated than they were - really very simple to fix).
You might need to disable directwrite (dwrite in the PlayOnLinux libraries) for Steam if it shows no text.
alt-tabbing away from Wolfpack means that the mouse and keyboard are unresponsive (in Wolfpack) when you try to return to it (sometimes Wolfpack crashes too). I tried adjusting mouse-warp in PlayOnLinux and also disabling the other display (I have a multi-monitor setup) but to no avail: but see below.
You need to have Steam in a 64-bit wine bottle
Setting PlayOnLinux to run Steam in an Emulated Virtual Desktop (in the Wine Configuration Settings) did not solve the alt-tab mouse problem.
Final settings that work reasonably reliably:
In Configure Wine for Steam:
Graphics: Automatically capture the mouse
Graphics: Allow the window manage to decorate
Libraries: dwrite (disabled)
Libraries: xinput
In Wolfpack:
Disable Full-screen
As an aside, I hope that the developers will release this game in SteamOS / Linux as well.
Now I need to test with the Discord stuff (Discord runs natively in Linux).
