My first reaction to the video preview image was that I was looking at Balatro.

I wonder if they left the VR support enabled in the Linux build.

I'm not sure what the point is, PhysX has been dead for at least a decade and Nvidia murdered it.

My guess is that they're hoping that the open source community fixes their little "5000 series doesn't support 32bit PhysX" debacle.

Wait, SteamVR supports Linux-based operating systems now?

Now? If you define now as since like 2018?

But I'm not sure how far you'll get with PSVR2. Maybe the community projects made some progress on it, but it's definitely not something that Valve has been doing.

Was keen to try to Atomfall, but not only does it use Denuvo, ...

Yeah, looked interesting. Went to the Steam page and left it again. A big DenuvNo.

Better late than never I suppose. That rogue window started appearing in the 1.x days, so that's at least two years ago. I still consider SteamVR 2.x fatally flawed on Linux. Of course, 1.x wasn't exactly great, but everything non-XR was more or less playable. With 2.x I had to disable async reprojection because it causes too much lag (ironic I suppose). Right now I play XR games using Monado. Some OpenVR games I play using OpenComposite+Monado, but OpenComposite won't work well with everything.

So, 2025 in bug years. But what is that in human years?

I love the game but I keep wishing for a renewable energy source option, or coal/oil sources that are endless. Moving and rebuilding critical systems over large distances is super tedious to me

Why would you? Just leave power where it is. As you say, it is infinite so once built it never needs to be touched. And with the new(ish) power towers, you can easily connect power to the whole map.

I'll have a test of it tonight. See the new stuff and check whether they fixed some of my main annoyances.

@Lib-Inst Denuvo doesn't have a Linux version. I'm not even sure it has a MacOS version.

I think the anti-cheat only whitelisting Steam Deck will become worse. Especially when it's not added to prevent cheating, but to protect the microtransaction business as it seems to be the case with this one. In any case, it won't bother me with this one. I made it about a third into the trailer before I decided that I'm definitely not the target audience.
