In the FAQ, they mentioned specifically that "Steam Deck and Linux compatibility remains unchanged", so they have at least ticked the box to enable Proton support for the game.

Gott sei Dank

    I wonder if you're eligible for a refund because the game suddenly became unplayable 2 years after the launch because they decide to brick Linux gaming.

    Edit: I know Linux still works. I was just generally wondering

    No judgment, I'm genuinely curious: isn't "brick" for hardware?

    Hmmm. I use it freely as an alternative to breaking. But that's probably not a correct way to use it.

    Old man trying to be hip and all that.

    You raise a good point :).

  • Not a worry, fellow OG. Back in our day, a "brick" was a heinously missed shot in basketball, ie ya might as well've thrown a brick at the backboard. 🤣

    Now, I guess you can use your phone? Dunno. Kids're weird. (If you raise 'em right 😉🤘🏼)

    Some guy had to insist a lot to get his For Honor game refunded because they removed Linux support. Technically was not officially supported by the dev, but implicitly supported by Valve on the store page, so imo they should refund.

    Who was asking for this?

    It's a co-op game last I checked so I doubt the bugs are screaming hax when they get shot through a wall.

    My mate on windows reports it crashes like clockwork at the end of every mission for him now.

    Hopefully my audio shitpost mod still works, between the AC change and the audio modding tool dropping support for Linux, its future is looking grim ;_;


    Apparently it works and AH is fine with this type of mods, I just had to rebuild it from scratch but thankfully I managed to commandlineify the whole process a while ago

    People are actually still playing this game? I had fun for about two weeks and then got bored.

    I don't care what the devs think, this game needs PVP. I want to play as the aliens!

    Yes, we love it as it is, and they release lots of new content often.

    I'm happy you're happy, but look at the active player count. It's about 10x smaller than the game was doing at its peak when it first launched; it plummeted quickly once the devs announced no plans for PVP. The vast majority of of players got bored and left once they heard the news. You're in the minority.

    The amount of players doesn't mean anything. There are so many games today that reaching higher constant numbers is incredibly hard. As long as people have fun, what do any of your comments matter?

    Lift up the good things, don't drag down things people enjoy.

    Edit: that said, I also got bored pretty fast but I have a couple of friends who play this several times a week.
