Stealthy platformer Kiyo in need of Linux testers

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.

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.

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.

I've chosen to support KDE yearly. As I am using this software on multiple devices now. Same counts for Thunderbird.

Starfield is the first proper load screen simulator (LSS). So yes, very innovative!
