(EDIT) I was able to fix this issue by rolling back to yesterdays Item Assistant backup files, which restored the skill points and all items/components. Only one day of progress lost, I can live with that
Have launched GD today, not long after the 6mb auto-update to the game files via Steam, to find my both rings, and the chest, shoulder and hand armor missing. Also missing are almost every purple item from my characters inventory and every stash tab, and all mats from my stash.
All skill points in my second class (Inquisitor) have been removed, and are not available to reapply.
Cloud saves disabled, using Item Assistant and Grim Internals successfully for a good while. Very keen to get my items and skill points back back somehow.
Take it how you want. I’m speaking on the reality of it. They don’t publicly support Linux. The only bone they ever threw Linux was when Proton first went live - the game wouldn’t run, likely due to something with Steam DRM but they made it so that it at least would run.
I’ve seen a mention of it on the ProtonDB but I haven’t seen any specific mentions on the Proton Github issues? Perhaps you and some others should try posting one there so that Proton devs could perhaps possibly take a look and see if it isn’t something on their end - which is a firm possibility.
Has anyone tried using a different Proton version?
I mean…you’re playing with an OS that’s used by roughly 0.9% of our customer base.
We never promised to support Linux and simply cannot justify resources for such a small subset of the playerbase that intentionally uses an OS that’s not supported by a vast majority of developers.
I’m sorry you’re experiencing issues, but that’s the harsh business reality that most developers contend with.
When I was investigating the area in question for the invisible terrain bug, the asserts I was seeing seemed to be DX related, so that may well be why you’re straight up crashing in Linux as opposed to just not seeing terrain.
It’s possible there’s still a level in that area that’s missing terrain but it’s outside of the playable space, so while it doesn’t impact typical users, the issue may be exacerbated on Linux.
Hmm. Now I’m a little curious if non-Proton versions are having issues in that spot. Perhaps I’ll try running my GOG copy up to there on my Manjaro install later and seeing if it behaves the same.
Thank you for for taking the time to address my concerns.
First off, I didn’t mean to imply that it was a Crate specific problem, with my outcast remark. That’s just the way of the world atm.(sadly)
And it’s perfectly reasonable that you wouldn’t dedicate vast amounts of resources to a micro subset of users. If the shoe were on the other foot, I wouldn’t be happy, if there were unaddressed problems for the “general public”.
My first thought about the issue(after the hotfix) were in relations to z-levels(if you even use that) as I saw noticeably more spawns after the hotfix. It went from …maybe 12 spawns, to 20 groups. But now you mention DX, it does sound far more plausible. DX is not a friend to Linux.
If you ever revisit the area, please keep this one in mind.
I have an input. It may tend to improve the situation with probably no downsides other than Developer effort.
Can the engine by migrated from using DirectX to Vulkan? Since it’s an API with native support on Linux and Windows (i.e. wine/proton will be able to make API translations in a more expected manner) a lot of issues unique to either OS would become tied and a fix on either one may probably fix it on both.
I’m not experienced with Vulkan and the issues that may be incurred for using that in place of DirectX, hence just a suggestion. Could probably be overruled in case there’s more problems in that path.
However I’m not in support of demanding Linux fixes. I’d prefer if fixes on windows would solve Linux problems as well. Saves Development effort of maintaining two different code streams rather than one.
But I’d imagine migrating to Vulkan would compare to moving house. It’s not something you look forward to doing, it’s hard work that takes away from day-to-day, and your life is in ruins for the next 6 months.
But if none of the above is true, I’m in favor of migrating to Vulkan
Thank you for thinking outside of the box. That never hurts
I mean, you are correct in that the “only” obvious downside is developer effort, but what you describe is an immense amount of developer effort for no real “upsides” besides supporting Linux better and thus means we are expanding developer resources on something with minimal gain rather than dedicating it to something that actually would benefit the player base as a whole.
True, I don’t see strong upside other than being able to redo the engine. In my experience, redoing a functioning system often ends up improving and enriching the features in the system. I suppose I’m hoping for that to happen?
Can Justical set supports Commando? This is my char, he supposed to be a tanky machine (3k armor, all res overcapped) but somehow quite squishy -a glassy canon (dies frequently vs SR 65-70 (1v1 Korvaak in boss room one shot him), and sometimes dies to Morgoneth or even trash mobs). I have 2k5 hours in GD, and can admit I’m not a bad pilot. https://www.grimtools.com/calc/p25k0EGZ
Also buffed on Sharzul mace is nice, but can you make some extra 5% more physical res. Even with 3k armor, mobs with physical dmg still hit him like a truck. 200% casting speed but he casts Flashbang/BWC slow like a snail, I have to hold the button for at least 1.5s to make sure a successful cast, otherwise he will cancel the animation and nothing happens.
Hi.
I’ve been looking at your tools, and I feel that below.
For end game content(Especially in SR and Morgoneth),
the performance of ADCtH may be lowered in some cases,
so it may be more stable to include another defensive elements,
such as increased health regeneration and reduced enemy’s total damage or so.
Thx, actually most of my caster builds not struggling with SR65, and not even need a dmg reduction debuff for mobs. Actually BWC has -18% physical dmg debuff, but physical mobs still melt his armor so easy. He has Blast shield, Menhir’s will and Ghoul, also Flashbang. Thats too much safe for a defensive caster. Could get Warcry but it will interupt the FW cast as he needs to stand still, and sadly no slot for Attune lodestone.
