Quoting: AsciiWolfDoes the native port work on a standard Linux system?

I've seen people say it doesn't work for them, but for me at least it does - and it runs MUCH better than through Proton. Still not great mind you (~40 FPS in most areas), but still better (Proton was like ~20 FPS most of the time).

Unfortunately it *does* require the Steam Linux runtime to function it appears, working as sort of a pseudo-DRM, so it's not quite DRM-free as the Windows and Mac versions are. Still, better than nothing.

Linux support wasn't planned at all under Riot, so any attempt being made is good news to me. Really hoping the future for Hytale is better than its development has been thus far, it'd be incredible to see.

insane this guy wants to be taken seriously when he says

When we stopped supporting Linux, users made up less than .01% of the total player base, even if that number has doubled, or tripled, it's not worth it.

they really are just making shit up to defend their bone-ass decision making

I’m very comfortable saying that if a game supports Proton or Linux, they’re not serious about anti-cheat

and yet consistently games like Gunfire Reborn or ARC Raiders have less cheaters than your slop

Developers won’t be saying this kind of thing repeatedly if it was a flat out lie

We pretty consistently see no change in cheating when these things are rolled out. It's pretty safe to say it's a flat-out lie. Mandatory I'd say. Dishonest to say otherwise dare I say.

Doing all of that jazz for a checkmark badge instead of making the multiplayer work. Man I hate some companies.

Steam Deck really shouldn't use Proton by default anymore, native runs the CPU cooler and still runs at an (albeit inconsistent at times) 30 frames now that FSR is available.

well someone listened to my suggestion lol

I just installed and fired up Cronos for the first time on my steam deck and I got a whopping 11fps with the default settings, lowered everything as low as it could go and got a nice choppy 40ps.. bloober is nuts if they think this is acceptable..

yeahhh not gonna sugarcoat it the game DOES run pretty bad. regardless of Proton or native you're not looking at good framerates. I still think there's a great game underneath the poor optimization though, and their dedication to making it work on Steam Deck gives me hope that it'll finally be in decent condition on there soon. Hopefully some of those optimizations can be backported to desktop too.

Is the Steam version DRMFREE?

Contrary to what the other commenter said, yes, actually. As far as I can tell, even though the main Cronos.sh launch file checks for Steam, directly launching /Cronos/Binaries/Linux/Cronos-Linux-Shipping does NOT check for Steam, or anything else for that matter, and just launches regardless. So DRM shouldn't be a concern with this game.

Welll there goes my willingness to get Dead Space. Surely selling out to fascists will be good for their company and not a horrifically terrible idea as it's always shown itself to be in the past.

As far as native Unreal Engine goes (especially from Bloober Team) I gotta say - I was pleasantly surprised. It doesn't run WELL, of course not it's Unreal Engine, but it's a lot better than I thought it'd be. Steam Deck really shouldn't use Proton by default anymore, native runs the CPU cooler and still runs at an (albeit inconsistent at times) 30 frames now that FSR is available.

Oh yeah. They don't say it in the patch notes, but FSR was added to the Linux build. Still no XeSS or DLSS, but FSR is still a REALLY solid upgrade from TSR.
