Status of the Linux version?

[Squiddy]

Hello, Liam from GamingOnLinux - https://www.gamingonlinux.com

Currently, the Steam page only seems to have Windows system requirements. So I wanted to ask what was happening about Linux support?

Linux was a stretch goal that was hit on the Kickstarter, so I do hope it's still happening...

An update would be nice.

Hello, we ran a lot of tests and our Linux Vulkan version is actually slower than emulated with proton so we are thinking about just going for ensuring proton compatibility as we don't want to provide a port that is actually slower than this version (and we can't even imagine improving VK performances as this is internal to Unity)

(You can see that EOE is rated gold at proton compatibility on proton db)

That's sad to see, will be ignoring this game then.

It may be worthwhile looking at hiring a porting team to take a look, such as Ethan Lee. There's other Unity games that run very well on the platform.

Considering it was crowdfunded for Linux support, this is a shame to hear so I will also likely unfollow.

You could at least release it as linux_beta branch, so users who waited (and possibly even paid) for a native linux version at least have the chance to try it.

I'll consider releasing it as an experimental branch

Nice! Only speaking for me of course, but imho better than nothing.

I'm getting to finish a lot of games with proton, so try to guarantee support for the proton, I think it's cool.

I have to say I'm incredibly disappointed.

Doesn't matter to me if the performance is worse than through Proton or Windows. A native port is still preferred.

I could say I have lowered my opinion of Unity but that is hard to do considering my dislike for it. In any case i'll pass on the Proton. Best of luck !

Linux support was promised so I will unfollow if no native port is coming.

I'm not sure how this would work with Unity exactly, but you could look into using DXVK Native. It's DirectX 9/10/11 to Vulkan (same as Proton uses) except for native Linux titles. Portal 2 uses this to provide Vulkan support as of a recent update and it's very fast.

I don't know if this is possible with Unity but i'll have a look, thank you.
