Tthe first game was very good and I specifically joined the KS because of Linux support. We still have it I guess, but not as promised. I don't think I'll be doing more KS projects from now on.

Update: Rockfish has dropped all plans for native Linux support.

From Kickstarter update [External Link] today:
The latest change is that we won’t have native Linux support even though we’ve committed to that many times. We did spend quite a lot of time and effort on a native Linux build. Still, it turned out that due to the broken and incomplete nature of the Vulkan implementation in Unreal Engine 4, our graphically complex game runs at 50% - 80% performance compared to simply running the DX12 Windows version in Proton. At the same time, some features like SSGI cause frequent crashes due to video RAM leaks.
After talking to our friends at Epic Games, there’s little hope that these issues will be fixed in UE4 since all their focus is now on UE5. As probably everyone will understand, fixing source code of the engine ourselves is completely out of question for us—even if we had the development resources, it would make future updates even more cumbersome as we’d have to build a custom engine while maintaining two separate code bases (a painful lesson we had to learn from native Linux support in the first EVERSPACE).
However, we’re still working on optimizing the experience using Proton for Linux pilots nonetheless. Any backers who pledged on the PC version not being happy with this solution can request a full refund on Kickstarter, no questions asked (refunded keys will be revoked). Native Mac OS support is next on our list, followed by Steam Deck optimization.

Quoting: PikoloCan we have more "aesthetically upbeat" or at least high contrast horde games?Nothing wrong with 'retro' graphics, one shoe doesn't fit all. Perhaps Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor [External Link] will tickle your aesthetic bones?

I can still remember that moment when I realized the only reason I kept starting up my Windows partition was to install updates. Nuked it from orbit, never looked back. Not once.

Quoting: InhaleOblivionAnyone of us who has used Linux for years prior to the advances of gaming understands why those of us who are lifelong gamers have two PC builds.Another lifelong gamer here, exclusively desktop gaming on Linux since almost 20 years.

Quoting: elmapul"HD version" that run like crap on my computer even with the option for old textures...There is another option for consideration. The Wii edition of RE4 is really good, if emulation is in the cards. Since that's a laughably weak console you could be ok even with that old i5/hd4000 machine.
Quoting: headless_cyborgsettings cannot be changedHad the same issue. Keybinds were interesting to say the least. Eventually found Reload on mouse 5...
