This looks and sounds absolutely awesome!

Hope to see the developer port it to Linux!

Linux? On desktop? Haha, for a moment I thought youre serious.. Good one!

[ripper]

Да, игра выглядит потрясающе, хотелось бы порт на gnu/linux. А пока игра не запускается даже через Proton.

С протоном беда какая-то да. Пишет texture not found. Удалось у кого завести?

You can install protontricks & do "protontricks 1434950 d3dcompiler_47 d3dx11_43" to fix the game for now. I believe Proton will be updated at some point to fix this, since it's (seemingly) easy enough to work around it.

@Dev: If there is any interest in helping to work around issues like this - the issue seems to be "D3DX11CreateTextureFromMemory" which seems to be deprecated and is unimplemented in WINE (see https://github.com/wine-mirror/wine/blob/master/dlls/d3dx11_43/texture.c ). So if there are good alternatives, using them would help Proton/Wine. Apart from that the game appears to run fine on Linux.

I'm not having much success trying that; protontricks is returning "Unknown arg d3dcompier_47" and when I went into wintetricks to find a dll or something named d3dcompiler_47 I found nothing. Can you help me?

Sure, you have a typo in compiler (L missing). Change that and it should work.

If not, it's possible that your winetricks version is outdated. You could try updating it. Try "winetricks --self-update". If it replies with an warning about permissions you might need to use "sudo winetricks --self-update" for a system-wide installation .. after the update is done you can retry "protontricks 1434950 d3dcompiler_47 d3dx11_43" .

the typo was just me retyping it onto steam, I put the command into the terminal without the typo. I made sure to reinstall the latest version of wine tricks (as well as updating the rest of my system) before installing protontricks just to be sure that it would work right (winetricks_0.0+20180217-1_all.deb for ubuntu 18.04 since I'm on linux mint 19.3 which is based on that). I tried running winetricks --self-update but it didn't recognize that command ("unknown option --self-update). I checked winetricks -h to see if the command was known under some other name but I don't see anything like that. I did run winetricks -V to get the version though just to be sure (20180217 - sha256sum: 1b156c616174f41df79d72a90c52eb2b110c63a6e8ecb865d303a8f9f0908924).

I appreciate your help so far but my smooth brain could use a little more of it if you have the time.

[Anzorik]

It seems kinda outdated. My `protontricks -V` == protontricks (1.5.2), `winetricks -V` 20210206 and everything works fine. (except that you should disable mouse acceleration, buy that bug also exists in win version)

What proton version you use? Using 6.8-ge2, type ".../HighFleet$ protontricks 1434950 d3dcompiler_47 d3dx11_43" in terminal, protonricks loading game very long (~10 minutes) and then shutdown without any error.

(my winetricks updated to last version: 20210206)
