Quoting: CFWhitmanWhat I would enjoy with the Truck Simulator series is a 'free drive' mode where you could just drive the roads without worrying about the business simulation. Does this exist? I haven't investigated thoroughly as to whether or not this is possible in these games. It could be interesting for those who just want to virtually explore different parts of the country/world that these games cover.

As long as you had money in the game, you can do whatever you want. Heck, you can even disable fines and blow away red light and speed limits.

Since in the game I am a millionaire, I just drive around to grey areas in the map (the ones you hadn't passed by yet), buying and customizing new trucks as I see fit.

Quoting: M@GOidValve adding the controllers must not be seen as a guarantee those will work in all games. Some games, mostly older ones, tried to implement their own support for gamepads and only work correctly with the XB360/Logitech ones. XBOne and PS4 gamepads still don't work correctly to this day in a number of titles.

They should as Valve emulates the original XBox 360 (xinput). If its not working for you then you might simply need to go into your controllers setting in Steam and enable "Configuration support" for said controller. Optionally you can enable that on a per-game basis. I've not found a single game that does not work with my PS3, Switch, Steam Controller or the couple of generics I have as well. Even my classic MS SideWinder Game Pad Pro works with modern games through Steam and also via Steam Link.

I'm familiar with Steam XB360 emulation. In some games it have the strange effect of double input. Examples of this are Assault Android Cactus and Skyforce Reloaded. In both it have the effect of one joypad controlling 2 players.

Quoting: M@GOidAnd to add insult to injury, in Proton it is bugged.

For real? I bought this game and only played on Windows but i've been hesitant to play on Linux because people said that the native version is really bugged

The problem I have on Proton is the UI is corrupted, making it impossible to pass the start screen. I run a AMD card, if you are on Nvidia, maybe is a different case.

This is sad for me because this game has so much potential, but people developing it seems to have grabbed more than they can lift. The project is terribly late and serious bugs on the Linux port were left to rot.

The other game valve left the community to grab was L4D2, and that as another case of the wrong people taking the wheel. I sincerely hope they do not left another of their beloved franchises be taken by outsiders. I has been a disappointment after another.

I sincerely hope this lead to a new wave of PCs on a keyboard.

I should had asked for a refund when I still had the chance for this one. All this years later, the thing still crashes if I change the graphics settings and, even more ridiculously, does not have multi-thread available on Linux, leading to much worse performance than in Windows.

And to add insult to injury, in Proton it is bugged.

Quoting: ShroobsterPeople who (only) play open source games because they're open source shouldn't be allowed to play games.

And who are you to tell others how they should live theirs lives? What a stupid comment.

And they didn't fix the game speed being attached to the monitor refresh rate... Here I use 120Hz and the game becomes blazing fast and almost impossible to play.

Besides having a engine that privileges the Nvidia closed-source driver, another thing that bother me is that their cities are so lifeless, so few pedestrians. You go trough Las Vegas and begin to think: where are all the people?

And they were gone way before any pandemic, mind you...
