Build 1.2 Linux Impressions

My first impression.
I use Linux for religious reasons only to play, stupid, but what should I do, there are these voices in my head. :wink:
My first impression: On my XC1506 Tuxedo laptop (Debian Buster) The game runs very smoothly, no reason to complain.
The target system is a little unusual, but you can get used to it.
What I lack is an orientation aid, e.g. a symbol to the north or south, otherwise I get lost in the terrain.
Sometimes the navigation on the map hooks a bit, but I can handle WASD. I donā€™t know if this is a Linux problem.

I didnā€™t get to the real game yet, I just wanted to thank you for developing the Linux version in parallel and donā€™t think about the masses first as usual.
Thank you!
By the way, how do I make screenshots in Fullscreen Mode, without using F12?

F1 or F2 disable User Interface, if this is what you wanted. Iā€™m not sure if taking screenshots is implemented into the game itself :slight_smile:

Thanke F1;F2 is known.
Yes I hoped there were a Screenshot Function Key as in Steam F11

I donā€™t know Debian, but usually the PrntScr button on keyboard is mapped to some screenshot app. Or you can probably Alt+Tab, switch to Desktop to launch some app there and switch back.

Also, found a tiny issue specific for Linux (Ubuntu):
When launching game from the terminal command line and later selecting ā€œExit gameā€ from main menu, the game while exiting closes the terminal window it was launched from, instead of returning to command prompt.

Thanks, of course I know the PrtSreen Key, but unfortunately I didnā€™t even try it, because many fullscreen programs intercept the keyboard queries and the event doesnā€™t even get to the operating system.
My God, Iā€™m embarrassed, I can actually do it! :sunglasses:
(I go into the corner to be ashamed)

I can not confirm this, here it is ok, back to prompt
