9 in-game currencies. Looks like it’s a typical “you’ll make zero progress for free, this game is designed to catch whales” kinda game.
Edit: Also has a kernel-level anti-cheat that causes your whole OS to freeze.
Not defending the mobile game like currencies because they are obnoxious, but similarly to Marvel Rivals (both NetEase games), it is actually pretty generous with the free content. The shop skins are overpriced and obviously meant for whales, but you get a lot of free shit. I assume the battle pass will work like Rivals where it doesnt expire, has a lot of skins, and you get most of the currency back.
Its a hell of a lot better than Valorant, which is the most similar game gameplay wise.
Also, the kernel level anticheat doesnt matter when playing on Linux where it can’t run at a kernel level.
Getting 120fps in the tutorial on steam deck, pretty impressive
I have zero will to play and lose all my progress if one day The devs changed their minds about Linux like apex so i’ll pass this one.
So you wont play any game which chooses to make their anticheat support Linux, on the premise that they might stop doing that?
This game has been working well since beta. Its also made by the NetEase, the same people as Marvel Rivals, which has made active efforts to work on Linux. They even included a fix specifically for Bazzite in the patch notes.
An issue I have observed on my desktop though is that the mouse likes to leave the screen. I had to set it to Fullscreen, instead of a Borderless Window to get around the issue.
People are still playing on borderless windowed?
Why wouldn’t/shouldn’t I???
People still actually use question marks
Input lag, performance issues and mouse bounds. AFAIK that’s still a thing
I alt tab too much I guess to my second monitor. And most games are decent enough to hold the mouse captive (can’t remember the right verbiage) while in the game
Borderless windowed is not the same on Linux as it is on Windows. It doesn’t make a difference.
I do in an ultra wide because I like to also have YouTube, music or something.
It used to add quite a bit of input lag and take a hit on performance, and you could always flick the mouse out of the game like in this article. Tbh it was so jarring I haven’t tried it in probably a decade.
Apparently border less windowed is the only one where AMD FSR3 works.
