Steam Deck and Linux Compatibility
Steam Deck Compatibility One of the goals we set for this project when we started, was to run well on Steam Deck. We think we nailed it. On our most demanding level (Free Roam) aside from a couple hitches at the very start of the level, it stays locked at 60 FPS most of the time. On most other levels, you will almost never see a dip below 60fps. If you've played the game on Steam Deck, we'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments! Linux Support We do not have a Linux Depot configured on our build machine, so we can't check "Linux Support" on the Steam listing, but the game should run via Proton on pretty much any distro that normally runs games. We haven't yet found a distro that doesn't run it. We've tested SteamOS, CachyOS, Arch, Ubuntu, Mint, and Manjaro. While we don't officially support Linux, we would be surprised if you can't get it to run on your machine.Read full article on Community Announcements (Arcane Ermine Studios)AnnouncementsOfficial
