Stealthy platformer Kiyo in need of Linux testers

Second test done on a i7 6700k, 32GB, AMD Radeon 6800XT 16GB. Fedora 39 KDE spin. No issues starting the game. Do experience a slow down after 57 seconds. Its not an FPS drop. The rendering just gradually slows down. Also the timer slows with the same pace. Left my feedback in game.

Next test will be on my Steam Deck OLED.

More interesting I find the question what exactly needs testing?

I'm a developer and I can always appreciate precise parameters so I can focus on the important bits.

One thing I would want to test myself is how the game behaves on Fedora Linux.

I'm glad you asked!
We're interested in the following:
1) Issues that seem OS-related. For this reason, just validating the basic functionality (if the game even starts at all) on as many distros as possible, especially anything that's not Manjaro or Ubuntu (used during dev). So Fedora would be great.
2) Issues that could be graphic drivers related. We did a good amount of testing on different GPU vendors and model for Windows, but not on Linux.
4) Trying on Steam Deck would be also very interesting, as we don't have one at the studio. But I foresee input problems with that one for the time being
3) In addition to that, any feedback about any aspect of the game itself will be very useful :)

A good way to report something, or simply tell us whether you like the game or not, is the Feedback page integrated in the game's main menu. Otherwise you can post something here, or contact us at "support at pixelrats.com"
Ok. I'm off work in a few hours. I'll do some testing then.

I don't really pay too much attention to this. About 99.9 percent of my games are closed source, my AMD 6800XT and two Steam Decks are running an open source driver, but I believe the firmware is still closed source. And my NVIDIA 4060ti runs on a totally closed source driver.

Great BTW that you guys choose to support Linux.

Edit: Other than testing the game on both the LCD and Oled Steam Deck, maybe it's worthwhile to test remote play too.

So, are we going to participate? They do support native Linux...

Quoting: CgamerOn the other hand is Capcom going to remove support for their games on Steam Deck. Monster Hunter World and Rise will get the new "Enigma" DRM making them unable to use on the Deck. I'm really disappointed.

Quoting: datablobFixed swapped Start / Select buttons on controllers in Starfield and other games using Windows.Gaming.Input.
Woohoo, I reported that one! :happy:
Glad it's fixed, it also affected basically all Unity games using the "new Input System" (potentially more), including my own. Relieved that I don't have to implement some awkward fix for full Steam Deck support.

Actually had no clue that Starfield was also affected! Curious how swapped start/select buttons flew under the radar for so long, probably affected a ton of games.
Thanks for your contribution!

I've seen a bunch of these devices but I must say that I still prefer my SD Oled.
