Egosoft to launch X4: Foundations on November 30th, hopefully with a Linux beta build

Interestingly, their system requirements list Vulkan for the Windows version: https://www.gog.com/game/x4_foundations [External Link]

Minimum: Nvidia GTX 780/970 or AMD equivalent (Vulkan support required)
Recommended: Nvidia GTX 1070 or AMD equivalent (Vulkan support required)


Though funny that they didn't bother to specify what the AMD equivalent is. That's not very user friendly.

OK, I was able to work around the issue with Distance. I was changing the wrong file. Instead of changing standard Unity location:

$HOME/.config/unity3d/Refract/Distance/prefs

you should change:

$HOME/.config/refract/Distance/Settings/GraphicsSettings.xml

And after that it works fine.

Quite annoying the game is basically broken on the native resolution.

Warning, Distance is 32-bit for some reason. Also, it doesn't detect screen resolution properly. But at least it's working.

I'll try contacting developers about it.

Distance [External Link] is on sale too (it's DRM-free in the Humble Store and not available on GOG).

Quoting: stretch611I noticed that Pathfinder: Kingmaker Explorer Edition is on sale...

Initially many people mentioned it had a bunch of bugs. Does anyone have this? Is that still true? Does the linux version work well?
It's something I'm actually also planning to buy, so I'm interested in feedback too.

Quoting: Kristian
Quoting: ShmerlThere is some hiccup with DRM-free release, they didn't get GOG to accept the game yet which is surprising.
Interesting. Got a source for that?
See here [External Link].
