FortressCraft Evolved exits early access, SteamOS & Linux now fully supported, but buggy

FortressCraft Evolved has been on Linux for a while, but the official release now supports us properly. It was certainly inspired by the style of Minecraft, but it's a whole 'nother game.

Sadly, the graphics on Linux are quite glitchy (seeing lots of black boxes), and the feedback from the developer wasn't very promising:

@gamingonlinux It's either piss-poor linux GPU drivers, or piss-poor Linux Unity support. Did you try Fastest, as indicated by the thread?

Considering it happens on both Nvidia and AMD (across quite a few users), I don't see it as a driver issue. If it was, I would be seeing the corruption in many more games and not across both GPU vendors. It is possible it's an issue with Unity (Unity still doesn't have the best Linux support), but it's also easily possible it's an issue with their code.

Until the developer properly spends time looking into the issues and finds a workaround, or actually fixes it I can't recommend it right now.

About the game (Official)
FortressCraft Evolved’s Survival Mode is a unique-blend of Voxel Landscapes, Tower Defense, Crafting, Logistics, Exploration, Combat and Assembly lines. Players begin by crash-landing on a strange alien world, left with only a small handful of starting machines. Using hand-held scanners they must locate ore resources, place down Ore Extractors and Conveyors to automate the raw material back to the Smelter; take the fresh ingots through multi-machine assembly lines, followed by researching new technologies that help them explore thousands of meters below the planet's surface.

An advanced HoloBase allows players to keep an eye on their factory which they must defend against waves of alien attacks with multiple tiers of missile and energy turrets. To survive they must continue to develop new and unique power systems, from solar energy to Jet Turbines, culminating in crafting an Orbital Energy Transmitter thousands of cubic meters in size, to beam power off-planet, and start the next phase of the game.

And all this with an enormous draw-distance, scalable gameplay engine that is equally at home on high-end or low-end computers, and full multiplayer support! This does not even factor in all that you can do in the Creative Mode whose only limits are your time and imagination. With an array of Super Build Tools and a high-resolution Custom Detail Block Workshop players can build anything and on a massive scale unseen in other games. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.
