Will there be linux support?

[scrooge34]

Game looks interesting and I would put it on wishlist, if there is a chance to play it with linux. Are there any infos about this?

[Werric]

It's not in the road map but only the dev can give a definitive answer.

[scrooge34]

Ic, its not a problem. I would like to play it, but since i don't use windows, maybe i will look for other games ;-)
Thx anyway for answering :-)

[Werric]

I'm definitely not an expert but have you tried it with Proton or another emulator? Just a thought.

[|eN|Frito]

I was able to run the demo at least. No issues noticed

[scrooge34]

interesting thoughts. I will get me the demo too and try
Thx again :-)

the game runs great on linux (on my machine) the only thing i noticed is that the gpu load is quite high (gtx 980) and i use Proton Proton-6.5-GE-2

The demo works out of box in proton, which is nice.

Not all Unity games port cleanly. Sometimes they run aground on some of the ways Unity sometimes rubs the wrong way with Linux. That said, ones that run out of box in Proton tend to port cleaner.

Yes please, Linux native or compatible all good either way.

Demo works on Manjaro with Proton 6.3-8

someone mentioned this game on subnautica recently. looks like a cross between orisis: new dawn and subnautica, so i should be already familiar with how such a game works.

anyway i'm throwing my hat into the ring for a linux port. if the developers can spare the resources and time for a console port (under consideration), they can sure spare the time for linux as well at some point.

There are no guarantees that Proton will remain compatible during development, for those of us that use this compatibility layer, we are totally dependent on Valve to get around to putting a version together that works and works well.

A native version will eliminate that risk.

Bumping this now that Early Access is here. I just hope that Linux is somewhere down the pipeline. If the devs read this all you have to do is get the game to work on Steam OS/Steam Deck. This will solve nearly all the porting problems. No hurry.

It does currently work on steam deck I've been playing it lately just had to remap some controls for building etc. Lowered settings from default a tad since then runs fine smooth gameplay.

@OP, Playing this on Mint 19.2 with Proton and works smoothly for me. You can try the demo and test it on your system.

[Stonium]

Seems like it works alright. Albeit you need to force an older version of proton. Official support would be nice though.

[Theodis]

Official support would be great whether that's through a native version or proton. Proton is great and all but if the dev isn't supporting it(and thus testing for it), then any update could arbitrarily break compatibility with Proton and I'm out of luck. And being early access I assume there are many updates to come.
