Quoting: TimKriefHi there! Thanks for covering this. Just so you know, I'm developing the game Octahedrone in linux, it's my main OS, so of course there will be a native linux version of Octahedrone coming this year. I should add this info to the website 😅. Have a nice day :)

Good to know, thanks, as I didn't see any platform info so added :)

Quoting: LynnAliceInterestingly the 3.6 preview still runs way better on my deck. With 3.5.15 I have random crashes again with gpu errors and the cpu runs way hotter somehow.
Guess I’ll stay with the 3.6 preview

There is no "3.6 Preview", you're likely meaning the extra developer options which no normal person is supposed to use.

Quoting: OrkultusI keep getting the "cannot connect to servers" right after the movie intro.

The servers have been down. It’s not a Linux issue.

Quoting: sarmadWhy would a game with no online competitive mode need an anti-cheat? Sounds dumb to me.

To protect the battle pass / micro-transactions from cheating.

Quoting: TermyHm, i might be blind, but i don't see any indication, that the Steam version gets spared from the horrible EA App bullshit?
I mean, it's possible, some games are indeed free of this nonsense, but the vast majority of EA games released on steam still have the EA App, don't they?

No word on that yet and likely won't know until closer, the point is as always: be on Steam is just easier for everyone and the place people generally expect to be able to buy their PC games.

Quoting: Liam DaweEither way right now, there's simply no plugin available I can see for Chart JS to add a different type. For now, it serves the simple purpose of showing number go up or down over existing data.

Have upgraded Chart JS anyway, and now I have a new plugin added to enable showing special data points that you might spot...

Can we start the trend line at a different point (without hiding the actual data before, which still is interesting)? I'd use like July 15, 2021, announcement of Steam Deck, which clearly changed things.

No plans to do that atm, but you can simply pick the start date in the dropdown box and you get the sameish effect.

Now now kids, let's keep it cool.

Quoting: EikeThe linear approximation to the curve really needs to be split into two parts! (somewhere in 2021?)

... or the software could come up with something non-linear?

Why?

Because the linear approximation systematically overestimates all of the oldest points and underestimates all of the youngest points (except a single one we would attribute to some measurement error, probably located in the far east). The line doesn't fit, and this not in a "jumpy" way (as to be to be expected), but in a systematical way. The curve to be approximated isn't linear, at least not over the whole time.

So we could either try two linear curves, or some curve with a slope (slightly) increasing over time.

Sadly, even the current trend-line is a Chart JS plugin, as it doesn't support trend lines at all.

Maybe I should look for one that does it better...
