Fix No Man's Sky crashing when using a controller after a recent game update.

Hello games fixed that issue too, but it was only in experimental until today.

Quoting: NezchanObviously I'm not talking about the scale of what they did. I mean the concept of coming back and picking a system, overhauling it and releasing that change, bit by bit.

Yes he basically told in his discord that while he would still rewrite his own engine, he would switch to vulkan instead. But the way it stands, it's not economically viable.

Quoting: herrorangeThis game is so appealing, I've supported it like 5 years ago...but the AI is still fundamentally broken for me, each time everyone dies because they stop doing anything. Every. Single. Time.

I've seen this comment a lot, that's what most reviews say too.
I flailed about the first scenario too. However after watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zvcbDKnqsU [External Link] it made a lot more sense and I never had any bad issues since. And his latest video on this is even better https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaeplosCUMQ [External Link]
I would even say most scenarios are too easy.

I do have the occasional CTD, but he's trying to reproduce them on the Linux build.
The worst path finding issues have been fixed somewhere in 2019. They still get stuck between a wall and a bed or something occasionally, but deleting that bed helps.

It has a Native Linux version but the developer recommended Proton (specifically GE-Proton) for playing on Steam Deck.

If I recall correctly it has to do with the controllers behaving weird in the Linux version.

Edit: Wording, missing sentences

It looks nice.
But they are selling proton as a fix-all for games written for windows. And that's simply not the case.
The success of this device will mostly be how well the current top sellers will play on this. And if Valve will actively help the developer to get their games going (with or without proton).

If they don't and proton fails to deliver, who will be punished for a game not working? The developer or the device?
If it's the developer, there is a chance that they will start opting out of steamdeck. As more games are listed as not supported, the value of steamdeck starts going down.

That one has a real Linux version.

I currently play No man's sky (on Windows, but I couldn't get the vulkan version to run on Linux. I need to try again.)
The second game is Maia that is a nice and difficult sim

Be warned that for co-op you need to be on the same platform, where GOG and Steam are a different platform.
I hope they change this with the announced online variant.
