@gamingonlinux Why haven't I've heard of this game before? Looks awesome! It's like Pharaoh but runs on Linux.
I haven't played any of these games so far, but I've been considering buying Pharaoh for a long time, but... with a few exceptions I wouldn't really buy a game that doesn't run on Linux natively. Now that there's this game, it's an instant buy. (Would be instant buy if there was a sale. So instant wishlist for now.)
@gamingonlinux From what I've seen, that's a problem across the board. Not just steam deck. It's apparently a mess on powerful PCs. Not surprising from EA.
@gamingonlinux I decided to buy the Wild West Dynasty Early Access instead andโฆ.. it caused my Steam Deck to overheat to the degree that it crashed my whole system. Twice. Which was quite an achievement seeing as it looked and played like a Unity asset dump.
@gamingonlinux .. interesting. I wonder if @lutris could reverse-engineer the shader-cache download process to apply steamโs cache if you own the game outside of steam.
I'll have a Steam Deck video up on Returnal tonight but in short: unplayable on Steam Deck right now, even with a shader cache from me doing quite a few runs. Heavily depends on the map generation, some runs can see 30FPS, some 20-25FPS from the start.
One day I hope Valve upgrade the Steam Curator system. It could be so much more useful. Even simple things like giving developers a message on *why* I rejected a copy of something, and letting them send again when solved for example - that would be nice.
@gamingonlinux Used your link to pick up Stellaris - tried it on the Steam Deck using Heroic launcher but no joy - I'm not having much luck finding info on this - hoping you might be able to point me in the right direction. Tried the linux version first and it failed - got further with windows version and proton experimental but it still crashed out without starting. #SteamDeck#HeroicGamesLauncher#Stellaris
Will second @gamingonlinux 's (implicit) recommendation of Cat Quest. (Skip the sequel. Co-op should have made it better but... Didn't.)
Cat Quest offers a super simple dungeon crawler action RPG with kid friendly content but buried jokes written well enough to keep it engaging at all ages. (And prolly free with Apple whatever+)
