Can the app finally support HiDPI? It is a real pain to use that thing on a 4K monitor ...

Quoting: melkemind
Quoting: aristoriasIt is a great game and runs flawlessly on an R7 2700 with Vega 56 (radv) and Ultra settings.
It deserves way better reviews than it actually gets.
Do you mind defining "flawlessly" for me?
It runs smooth as butter without any stuttering or issues. I have constant high framerates except rarely a little on the map when too much is going on. And there's nothing negative that could be traced back to the linux port. If there is an issue it's probably rather the game itself.

So pretty much like that:

adverb: flawlessly

in a manner free from imperfections or defects; perfectly.
"the system works flawlessly"

And besides, proton as it is currently is probably a very bad choice to sell games since the whitelist is tiny. So your game will never be officially advertised and there is also no customer service.
Being a Linux user does not imply that we all use steam beta and activate proton for all titles ...

From an economic point of view, games that run on Linux only via Proton do not exist.

X4: Foundations to come to Linux with one of the next major updates

Quoting: BoldosSo... is it coming before or after 2026? :S:
Which is a good thing since X games get significantly better with age and you won't feel tempted to spoil your experience before that :-D

Arc Savior, another space combat game will be supported on Linux after release

Quoting: aristoriasTrashgames left, trashgames right, trashgames everywhere.

It is really hard to find a decent game these days which doesn't leave the impression that an amateur has developed it in his garage.
Completely rude and unnecessary. You haven't even played it, don't be a tool.
Oh, the admin believes he can define what is rude and which opinion is necessary and which not (probably the one he doesn't agree with). What comes next? Troll insults and censoring?
I still do have an issue with all the trash games if you like it or not and this one is for sure nothing that will even get attention in magazines.

It seems valve cannot even support their own hardware :(
Do you know what beta means? Unbelievable ...

Dealing with all sorts of amusing illnesses in Two Point Hospital, my thoughts

Quoting: TcheyThe game is fine, but quite shallow.

I played TH on Sega Genesis/Megadrive back in time, and nostalgia plays a part, but i'm also a "veteran" player, so i can see what the game is for itsefl too.

It's all about managing space to build rooms, and deal with the poorly designed queues (some maps, you need like 6 generalists all with 10+ patients waiting...), and recruiting the best people and form them.

There are almost no interaction between rooms, so dealing with disease X or Y or Z is just the same, only with a different (fun) animation.

So, the game is enjoyable, yes, and i do like it, somehow. It's simple, simplistic even, but be warned about the lack of depth for pretty much anything.
I venture to say that you haven't played it for very long. If it was less "simplistic" it was hardly fun anymore for the more difficult levels where you have to micro manage the skills of your employees, advertise the right amount and balance the available services ...

The Universim is now officially available in Early Access on Steam
29 Aug 2018 at 9:01 pm UTC

So it is an early access title, means the game is not finished and in this case it appears that there is some more work needed. But what the developer "Crytivo" has finished already is an overprized DLC. This is the kind of thing I totally want to support ... NOT.
