Game looks interesting... but what the frack is up with the quality on that Youtube video? That's the worst looking 1080p I've seen in years.

Probably all of those work. I use 4.11-3 at the moment.
The black screen/white bar crash is unfortunately still with us, regardless of version... DL is going on 5 years now. Still haven't nailed the cause for that bug. Windows gamers get that one too, I daresay more often than Linux gamers do.

A few tips then:
- The only commandline option I say is near vital, is -nologos and other than that, a well updated system with recent kernel and drivers should work.

- I can't tell you how many Windows users fixed their crashes by lowering GPU clock speed just a little, like 100 MHz. This game taxes your rig hard, even today. Just saying.

- Always worth checking file integrity.

- Commandline option -windowed, or delete the full screen setting in the config file, and/or even nuke the file entirely.

If nothing else, you can at least play the native version. I did too. Finished first playthrough with native version.

Quoting: eddie-fossDrop attack ... freezes and many times crashes

The Linux version is unfortunately bugged and very unlikely to be fixed. One of the more noticeable bugs is with drop attacks. They can cause lag, soft hangs, audio glitches or even crash the game.

Simple fix though! Use Proton and enjoy working drops attacks + more bugfixes, extra graphics options for increased visual fidelity, vastly superior performance... ^_^

If you absolutely must use the inferior Linux version, switch to a blunt weapon as the drop attack issues are generally seen with bladed weapons. But seriously - use Proton.

Quoting: GreaserI'm currently stuck in this stupid museum mission at the bossfight against Tahir.

If you're playing on Normal, the fight is hard but manageable. There's a decent weapon nearby, find it with Survivor Sense. Throwing your broken melee weapons still cause full damage, Melee throw is a skill.
On Hard and Nightmare, it's more like wearing down a bloody tank.
You can get weapons from the soldiers by using Vault+Drop attack for a quick'n'dirty insta-kill. It's what we like to call a pro-gamer move. ;)

But hit me up on GoL Discord or Steam and I can help out. :)

Quoting: Klaasthe GOG version

...can't play multiplayer with the Steam version. Hope that isn't an issue for you.

Quoting: EgonautTechland has no plans for a Linux build, I heard that out of first hand from one of their developers.

Perhaps... to be honest, I am not expecting Linux support. We're still waiting for an official statement on the issue though.

*Awesomeness intensifies*

We got a new variation on the Goon a while back, green skin with purple shorts... reminding you of anyone? ;) This new Hazmat variation is bright white and silver, reminiscent of an astronaut.

There's also a new DLC pack; Rais Elite Bundle, with new outfits, skins and weapon blueprints.

Haven't we seen it a million times by now? Development drowning in feature bloat. Adding, adding, adding, adding... pushing an eventual finish line further and further into an obscure future.

While I'm sad they couldn't make good on the Linux version, I'm glad they did finish the game and release something that looks both appealing and friendly to low spec machines. <3

Wishlisted for now.

Alright I could not resist any longer - picked it up today. My wallet keeps yelling angry things about buying too many damn games or something, who knows what that's about. Moar gaemz! ^_^

I filed a bug report [External Link] about the slow performance with the last patch, it ran heckin' fast before that.

Deathlyrage said this in response to the performance regression:

we pulled in some engine changes from Epic, so its most likely a bug in a changeset they introduced
