I genuinely thought this was a KSP screenshot at first glance lmao. Larian could even take a page out of Bethesda’s playbook and call it a feature. OP hit the ultra rare Illithid Nautiloid spacewalk sequence - only .01% of players have seen this!
I didn't even know BG3 had a Linux build, yet another W for Larian. On that note, this has been my experience with the majority of Linux builds. Most of the time it's easier for me to just use proton, because when I see the Linux build I 1. Have to make sure it's actually working properly and 2. Have to make sure it's an up-to-date version; I've had multiple games with an old outdated Linux build alongside a shiny new windows release. Anyone else have this experience? Am I doing anything wrong?
That the issue you're talking about? Seems more like a steam deck/API issue than a stardew issue if it is.. but they have work arounds/solutions in that link, if this is the problem you're referring.
Factorio is another good mention for its Linux support. It even has a feature that saves in the background on Linux that the windows version doesn't have. Doesn't matter much for the base game, but it's really nice if you're placing a big mod pack like Space Exploration etc.
There's a stutter in the windows version whenever the games saves that the Linux build doesn't have basically.
I havent played factorio seriously since it hit version 1.0.
I feel like I've gotten too old, too slow, and too dumb to play it now. last time I tried I spent 4 hours just trying to make a basic copper and iron production chain.
I get the feeling. It's been about a year and a half since I sunk good time into that game, but I haven't been playing much games over that entire time tbh. The feeling of figuring things out and building a good production chain is unmatched though IMO. Few games satisfy me as much to figure out as Factorio.
With the new Space Age DLC and free 2.0 update, it's a great time to try and get back into it! Highly recommend it.
99% of the time Linux native builds don't work right, only work on arch or some other bleed edge build, only work on Debian lts or some other beyond ancient build.
Or just randomly explode for no reason.
Frankly it's a big part of why a lot of people just say fuck native Linux builds. Just target a preset known system. Which is what windows builds basically are.
Steam runtimes, proton, etc. its more reliable, less likely to break and going to actually be reasonable for anything short of a billion dollar company to hope to provide support for.
Seriously as much as native Linux would be nice. We are 20 years from it being remotely realistic. So please devs just focus on proton compatibility and we can talk about native Linux later.
Outside of like vintage story and factario I can't think of a decent Linux native version. Even then they break more frequently then their windows version or just flat out don't work with mods or have other issues.
That's what it's supposed to look like. Follow the blue curve until you reach the forest of crazy jagged polygons, you'll have to kill the perfectly rendered npc once you make it through. After that, walk forwards through the interminable void until you reach baldurs gate 3, who you'll have to kill to beat the game.
I can't remember if it was BG3 or another game I played recently, but I remember the Linux version sucked and I used the windows version and proton instead and it was way better.
I'd be curious to know what happened before this screen shot was taken. The coords under the mini-map are nuts, and I'm curious if the character was 'flung" way out of bounds or if it teleported there. I know the windows version had some weird situations you could find yourself in (or force yourself into) that would "fling" the character a long way, but usually put you though a loading screen that would get rid of the "momentum" and drop you somewhere playable.
Guess what I'm getting at is it might not be specific to the linux build, and might have just been a 1 in a million situation you happened to find on the linux version. The game wasn't perfect so either is possible really.
don't remember doing anything special
happened twice so far, but also running into a different bug where pressing A on the controller does nothing until game restart
That's new and exciting territory then, unless you play games in such an unhinged way that it seems normal to you now... lol
I'm curious how much better it really performs over using the windows version and proton. I feel like it might be worth a shot to see if the game just hates you specifically or if there is something wrong (and worth reporting if you have the time and energy) with the Linux native build.

No, Kitten Suace Agency is the spiritual successor to Kerbal Space Program and the screenshot looks like gameplay from Orbit in these games.
