Hey, I remember this one. Happy to see it made it to release!

Patch today added the appid file so just add the launch options and play the Linux native version on Steam. :)

Hah, just you watch me! :P

The progress is impressive and very cool to see, the FPS seems greatly improved now. Can't wait to see how this game will look with some better lighting/shading. :)

Because we're drowning in bug reports? Plenty of issues (not even restricted to Vega) still plague us, some have been around since before Polaris. :dizzy:

Oh nice! The demo ran flawlessly with Proton as well.

They didn't use Occlusion Culling until now? :huh:
No wonder it's been running like wombat vomit.

Worth noting that the latest GoL User Stats shows Nvidia GPU at ~63% and AMD GPU at ~33%, a couple of Intel GPU stragglers make up the last bit.

Quoting: bacattaI got it in the last humble bundle and can't run it natively. Only with Proton, and i'm not alone: https://steamcommunity.com/app/619780/discussions/0/1628538005520458693/ [External Link]
Interesting. Does the libsteam_api.so exist in the game's folder anywhere?
Alright, fixed it.
The file does exist in the game directory. There is no steam_appid.txt tho, but adding one with the correct appid and preloading libsteam_api.so makes it launch properly from the terminal. Preloading path in the Steam client works.

So:
1. Create the file steam_appid.txt in the game directory, edit to add the appid 619780

2. Add launch options to the game properties in Steam client: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. %command%

Yep, an amalgamation of the Gasmask zombie and the Demolisher. A nice touch to keep it. :)

Tested Native version now, still experience the same problems with Drop Attacks when using bladed weapons. Blunt weapons work fine. Mouse felt like it was lagging, similar to mouse smoothing or vsync lag, but those were disabled. It segfaulted when I attempted to track the Community Event.

Otherwise it ran well, lower fps than with Proton but not horrible actually. I'd say about 20% lower with native version but was still rather smooth.
