  • To be honest, I mostly play it on Windows, but occasionally launch it on my Linux laptop. My laptop is from 2012, has 4 GB of ram, and is pretty underpowered, so it’s slow, but it would probably work pretty well on a properly specced Linux computer. It’s a standard Unity game, so I suspect there shouldn’t be too many glitches or things that.

    It’s a super complex game and I quite love playing co-op with my brother. It’s easy to spend hours designing all the various sub-systems of a warship only to watch it still fail against the mid-level factions.









  • Nope, last Christmas I struggled to get Linux Mint to play a Steam game using Proton. Booting would lead to a crash, adding some flags would lead to the game being incredibly laggy. Mint had an option for proprietary drivers, but the game would crash regardless of the flags. In the end, turns out Mint was downloading the wrong drivers, and I had to manually download the correct ones from Nvidia’a website to finally get the game to work with average performance.

    It took multiple hours of troubleshooting during my one Christmas vacation of the year. Meanwhile my brother, who had an identical laptop playing the same game on Windows, ran it flawlessly with great performance.
