Larian’s Swen Vincke posted a tweet yesterday showing the game hitting 500,000 concurrent players, making it the third most played game on all of Steam He said that he told IT to only expect 100,000 concurrents at max.
Good thing is, it runs flawless on my Linux desktop too 👍
Just one of the best games I played in years. Good it payed out for larian to invest so much time into it. Maybe a good example for others that you do not need to rush a launch.
I remember when years ago I launched Payday 1 and oh dude - 3D objects where white lines only, no textures, and 2-3fps. Things progressed quickly since DXVX project started. <3

Can we all take a moment to appreciate Proton? Shit is basically magic as far as I’m concerned.
GE-Proton too, that dude does good work.

Steam Deck is changing PC gaming. The better Steam Deck gets, the better gaming on Linux becomes. There are dozens of us.
Is it native then?
Squeals in Arch
It isn’t native, but it works very well. It uses Vulkan.
Silly question of the day, if a games uses vulkan it doesn’t need to compile the shaders like you would for a direct x game?
It does compile shaders
unfortunately, my system seems to need to compile the shaders before I start the game if it’s the first time I’ve started the game that steam session.
