Quoting: lejimsterThey seem to be moving very fast with updates so far.

Absolutely, shockingly fast. I can think of 3 random titles off the top of my head (Star Wars: Battlefront 2, Star Wars: Empires at War, Clone Drone in the Danger Zone) that didn't work for me on a wide screen monitor on day 1 of the beta that, since, are now all flawless. Also, Void Destroyer 2, a space combat sim that was never coming to Linux that I never could get working on Wine, also "just works" on Proton. Very impressive...

Quoting: 14I never liked CS:GO that much. I only bought it about 2 years ago or so. I find Insurgency a lot more fun to play with my friends.

I concur on Insurgency as well, although isn't that game a few years newer? They had some time to learn from their elders before launching...

Quoting: armageddon51Hum, great idea but it needs a lot of work. Remind me of years ago graphics. A bit like this game "Titanic Honor and Glory" with the Unreal engine too but no where near the exquisite graphics. There is a windows demo but sadly no Linux, yet.

And all this time in the "not so" turbo-lift.

I wouldn't be so hard on them. It's a amateur, fan made labor of love as far as I understand. I'm happy it exists....

Quoting: wvstolzingNice... Can you go down inside the battle station, and detach the saucer part?

I think I saw online somewhere that you can. There's lots of fun functionality, like practicing at the phaser range or flying a shuttle out of the ship. SO excited this is coming to Linux!

Anyone else having graphics issues on NVIDIA since the update?

Interested, but was waiting for a sign of more solid support than "experimental" before buying. If they're gonna back it, I'm gonna buy it...

Quoting: ElvanexI freaking love this game! :) But sadly, I've been having crashing issues with it as well. :/ Hopefully they get it fixed soon.

They replied to me, apparently it's an issue with the NVIDIA 396.24 driver. They're recommending the 390 driver.

Sorry, I realize this reply is a month late. lol. But I actually have an AMD card nowadays, and the crashing has yet to be fixed.

No worries! Have you opened a bug report I can highlight to them?

Sadly, I have not. I figured that it's probably a known issue at this point, and that it will be fixed in time. I probably should do that though.

Sadly on all fronts, it's a very known issue, and this hasn't been fixed since at least April. We're going into 4 months of this. Of course, if you roll back to the 390 driver, it's fine (and performance for the 390 drivers is overall better than 396, actually), but if you use DXVK, the older drivers can't use the newer DXVK. Heads you lose, tails you lose. The devs say this is a completely Unity engine thing and they're powerless to help.

Liam, if you know, have you heard what's up with Unity? Their drivers have had NVIDIA problems for months now....

I have zero horse in the this race, but find it hilarious that the dev implies that:

1) Only the Linux community is toxic (eyeroll). Has he been in, well, almost any other Windows gaming forum at all for the sophomoric, hateful, entitled views there? Hahahaha....

2) Only Linux is a broken platform (eyeroll again). There are so many broken games, compromised engines, etc etc on Windows and, well, every other platform that to pretend it's only us is absurd.

Quoting: tonRGenuine question, I know Unity engine reputation never had being better but...

Why Unity reputation are getting worse since in the last 2-3 months?
I'm talking about the whole (outside Linux) gaming community in general.

Speaking only from what I've seen, I think Unity has had some bugs that have been show stoppers for a few Linux games in particular. For example, Tannenberg, which I love, sadly hasn't worked since the NVIDIA 390 drivers for me, and that was back in, like, April. And for those of us using DXVK, 396 series drivers are required. I think Unity has been slow (if at all?) to respond...
