I just bought the game, and so far I like it. The pixel art is gorgeous and the gameplay very close to Castlevania :)

Still not clear what's driving this big uptick in Ubuntu users on their statistics…

Hmm… WSL2?

This is netMarketShare, I can't believe people would use WSL2 to surf the web when they simply can do it from windows.

Quoting: dubigrasuI'm quite OK with the graphics, (no idea how it looks on PC) and I think it still look beautiful, but that being said, the 30 FPS lock is unacceptable for me. I'm not a gazillion FPS snob, but in this case I find the game truly unplayable, with that excessive motion blur thrown over the FPS lock... makes my head hurt and dizzy.
Very disappointed, I sort of finished Destiny and wanted to dive right away into ESO, but not this way. And like on consoles, you don't have video options to tune other than brightness/etc.

I didn't had any issues with the resolution, but indeed, Stadia badly needs some control panel/settings/whatever. I always have to have this annoying little dance with Stadia and Stadia+ before starting a session, to make sure it uses VP9.

Edit: So I looked a bit online and it looks like the FPS lock is also present on PC by default (and ofc on consoles). So, well... I can't blame Stadia itself too much for this. But at least on PC you can unlock it yourself.
Mind you though, I played games at 30 FPS before and it was OK, but the way is implemented here is a game breaker. If I could disable that motion blur at least...

Edit 2: On PC you'd need to edit the UserSettings.txt file to remove the cap, and I downloaded my Google data with the Stadia settings where I can see it uses the same file to store the settings. Ofc, you can't edit that. But apparently there's a way to remove the cap using the chat command: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=785105112 [External Link]
Not sure if it (still) works though, for the moment I keep getting a "unknown command" error, so it might not work with Stadia port or the syntax has changed.

The default frame time on PC is set to 100 FPS.
Anyway the PC version is flawless on Linux, it even works with mods, so why bother with an inferior Stadia version ?

I have the VR headset but not the AMD graphics card, anyway I'll test it as soon as I can.
This is amazing that Valve continues to push Linux gaming further and further, congrats to them they deserves my support <3

While it's sad for Mac owners, it's perfectly understandable as the platform is becoming less open for developpers outsisde of Apple's walled garden. And if the rumor of Apple to drop x86 in favor of Arm is true it will be even more difficult to support.

While I trully enjoyed Assassin Creed Odyssey, which works perfectly on Steamplay/Proton... I will probably pass on this one until it's reported working perfectly on Lutris with a huge discount.

I bought SFV just to test it (currently 8 bucks) and Wow... The game will go from "borked" to "platinum" in no time on ProtonDB now :)

Quoting: GuestIf anyone needed any more proof that Valve cares about pushing Windows more than Linux, here you go. I thought they'd at least have Linux releasing at the same time, if not releasing Linux first to help promote Linux gaming.

Linux takes the back seat yet again. But as always, at least it's coming. Eventually. Hopefully.

This kind of game must be in development for a long time, and the state of VR on Linux sadly lags behind because of several technical issues (proper to Linux and X11). The dev team had probably to move on while the Linux issues are being worked on.
Delaying the game to solve Linux issues first would have been mad considering the small audience.
