As for the game itself. Game does have that old school feel and it takes getting used to. Took me a while before I even got the first checkpoint. The campaign feels unbalanced though. Races feel randomly generated without much consideration for difficulty. A lot of blind turns with the most annoying ones being a single sign pointing you one way on top of the hill and then immediately going the other way right after it.
Overall it's looking good though!
It's true that the game is not easy... But games from the old weren't either! ;)
You can trust the density of turn signs to guess how hard a curve will be. A single turn sign means that you almost don't have to turn at all... ;)
The issue he is suffering from (irregular strong lags) is the major issue that worries me right now. Except from it, I'd be confident to release on Linux (after some menus refresh to make the game look good). :)
Of course I'm still interested in any tests from a machine that is at least as good as ryzen + gtx1060 + 8GB ram!
Don't hesitate to ask me for a Steam key, or use the direct link on the first page... :)
Thanks!
Sylvain.

PS Apparently you can't reproduce this by simply forcing the game into a window and setting a weird aspect ratio using Unity's command line arguments. I get proper black bars around the game when I try that.
But not a show stopper. I'm more worried now about the strange lags of @GamingOnLinuxUser... ;)
I could have a chat with GamingOnLinuxUser, and his issue was his display resolution (4k) that was too much to handle for his GTX970.
I now feel relatively confident to release the game on Linux. :)
It won't be soon, however, as I'd like to rework the main menu, to make a better first impression. :)
In the meantime, I'd still be happy to have new Linux testers. Don't hesitate to install the archive from the first post, or to ask for a Steam key! :)
(I'll be monitoring this topic further)
Thanks again for your help!
Sylvain.
