I am an idiot. LOL

Just got a reply from Transgaming suggesting that the problem is most
likely not to do with the distro, but more to do with the fact that some
dumbass (me) was trying to run the game from a FAT32 partition.

Copied it over to a Linux partition and it works perfectly.

You now have permission to call me lots of names ;)
