If the hardcoded and new IP's are known, you could apply destination NAT on the local machine to work around this issue.

Could not establish connection to Steam servers. Sorry I haven't looked at this list in a while (hopefully you already found the answer!)... Windows uses the steamclient that's installed, whereas on Linux it uses the steamclient that's shipped with the game (Windows does too - if Steam is not installed). So if the game has an old version of steamclient, you'll get stuck with situations like this. The Ship for instance had the Steam Masters (Mains? in 2020) hard coded into the binary and were eventually orphaned like this. I know years ago Qwest was trying to take back their address space from Valve and Aldred flipped addresses on us which broke a shit ton of games - if there's a hard coded address against this it's possible you were impacted when they made a trivial (to them) move. Were you able to resolve it natively? I might not be able to help, but CC me so it lands in my inbox and I can try to. Best, Kyle.
