Quoting: PalancaProton is unstoppable.

When Linux will be on all PC, Proton will die.

It needs quite more to be really "playable" more than "testable", but it’s great to see progress, as i follow it since very early state.

I’m quite amazed, Caesar 3 is one of the game i played the most back at its time.
Il really has aged well (with Augustus for large screen etc), even given all the "sim games" released since then and being 2021 and all.

Good to see more Linux native games, but too bad it’s almost worst than the first one, which was already just okay-ish.

I played it for the first time back in 2011, pfff... I remember at that time i said it was "similar to Rogue Survivor if its dev was more active"...

I have trouble finding excitement while playing a zombie survival crafting game, as i always think about Cataclysm DDA and find it better, deeper, funier.

The first tech-demo for Zomboid was great however. It was a house with a sick wife upstairs. I remember i cook, go upstairs has my wife calle me. Soon after, smell burn. Fire ! Good-bye wife, i run outside the house, only to get eaten by zombies.

Another, i cook, stop fire, go up, talk to wife, a man with a gun approachs, i hide, he said he is going to rape her but she is sick so he is going to shot her. I approach, too noisy, man turns, shop, dead.

Another, i cook, go upstairs, take a pillow and use it on the wife. She died, i’m sad, the end.

Great memories, haha

Hi again, any hints for these two points ? They are "fun stopping".

- supports for french with special characters like éèôà etc

- the "large resolution" seems to be borked ? If i set it high (ie 1980*1080), the game window goes tiny with big black all around in fullscreen, so worthless more or less, and unplayable. It has to be 640*480 to actually be fullscreen, but then it’s deadly...

That’s the full screen result by the way :



(edit : actually the battle maps are indeed fullscreen, so it’s "only" the main map and the options going tiny.
Full screen 1080p is not really playable as everything is very small, but at least, it’s working.
I think i’ll try with 1280*720 or something alike, and try playing a little.
The french version is not correctly working sadly, but the english part is fine.
