Who goes there ?
Great write up, thanks. I recently discovered BAR and I’m impressed how good it is. I shoud give Xonotic a try :)
Cheaters are a big problem in this game. To experience the cool parts of the game without all the bulshit, there is still SPT-AKI for playing solo and also the SIT mod for PvE multiplayer coop.
I just run proton 8 and switch to experimental or GE when troubleshooting a game that doesn’t work, which is rare.
Thanks for the tip, unfortunately I play via proton so autohotkey is not an option. I tried autokey which is a linux alternative but weirdly, while the key swaps worked on the desktop, it didn’t have an effect within the game for some reason. I’m sure there is some way it can be done but I couldn’t be bothered spending the time fixing it for this game which I don’t have much hope i’ll even like.
Yes! I tried it again this weekend because of this. After all this time, you still cannot rebind the keys of the building mode, which is ridiculous and makes this game difficult to enjoy for me.
I got the Flydigi Vader 3 and i’m very happy with it. The sticks are butter smooth. The buttons are very clicky.
That’s a fair point, but proton works so well that native linux games can be a worse experience than windows games via proton, so I don’t really care at the end of the day.
Very hyped for 2.0. I’m on yet another Factorio playthrough, this time on the steam deck. This game on the go is brilliant. Gamepad support is very good, framerate is solid. The devs really did a fine job.
Consider a dual boot if you ever try in out. You won’t be able to play all games on linux because of anti-cheat unfortunately 😔
Even the first versions of steam that came with hl2 back in the day were more usable than epic’s trash launcher.
Lemmy.world is still running version 0.17.4, that might explain your issues.

I played this game so much as a kid. I’m eager to try out this new release.
