Linux: Lightning going crazy

[~hw]

Hi there, I'm playing the game under linux and nearly half the time when I have the camera at a certain angle the lightning in the game flickeres like crazy. Am I the only one? This is getting pretty annoying. Sometimes the lightning stays down and I can't barely see everything.

I have an old "square" monitor (1280x1024) so my only option for lowering the fullscreen resolution without distortion is 1024x768, but I can confirm that it fixes the issue if there's anyone else in the same boat.

I'm also having this issue and I think it's happening in rooms / areas that are using a particular type of effect. For example in the hotel dining area if I I can see the fountain it happens but if I can not see the fountain then the flicker stops. Rain also makes it happen, so most of the time outdoors is this way as well.

Hello Erik,
are there any news about this issue?

Thanks.

Hey Erik, I bought this day one and I still haven't played it because I've been waiting for this bug to be fixed.

Can we at least have a 1280x800 resolution option so those of use with 16:10 monitors can at least get the proper aspect ratio without the flicker?

This bug is still around unfortunately. Seems like it has something to do with the light source's position relative to the camera, at least when I'm indoors. Running the game at one of the lowest resolution fixes it for me.

Another annoyance is that the game always opens (fullscreen) on my leftmost monitor instead of my primary monitor to the right.

Figured I come back to this and maybe finally play this game, but the lighting still goes crazy! Maybe it will run correctly in wine...

I also suffer from the flickering and I found it was reduced zoomed in... I haven't spent much time in game recently but I would be happy to check my workaround if you uninstalled it... I can also offer some directions around harbour if you want; to the soda warehouse and to a laptop with an a harbor overview... There is not much else notable in north...

You can edit files out of game by skipping the unreadable save file but check the InitData folder... It controls everything in a fresh game in Sprake or the GRIMM.

So, it''s been more than two years now.
It's still not fixed. It's still being sold for steamos/linux in that broken state.

You might be able to save a better game if you look at Autonauts by Denki on https://denki.itch.io/autonauts... It has a minimum price of none... The devs failed a kickstarter and switched from bi-weekly updates to next year... its just so feature complete now it is not trivial to imagine more! The devs are a programmer and an artist! You have a great eye for detail and a desire for programming gaming... you should love Autonauts!

I posted about it here, and Factorio because it has the perspective and Factorio..

Works flawlessly on Linux except the current Unity version has a weird bug: it forgets the resolution.

I'm having this problem for the first time, running Archlinux with Cinnamon and I have played this game many times before on the same system and I didn't have trouble. Upon launching the game this time, I am having lighting issues in the hotel and pretty much everywhere. Lights darkening and flickering, and what I thought was lightning at first but turns out its just the lights messing up. Its really sad because I like this game.
