    I realize this is the linux gaming sub, but it’s worth mentioning that this is on Gamepass too (I still use Gamepass on Xbox even though I don’t game on Windows anymore).

        Xbox cloud requires a controller, which kinda defeats the purpose of playing on PC imho.

        That said, it DOES work well if you’re into that kinda thing. I tested it out with MS Edge installed via flatpak.

            oh, most games need visual C runtimes nowadays.

            i find that i have this sort of issue often with pirated games, sometimes they don’t automatically install those like Steam does, but its the same fix as Windows.

            you can simply run the .exe installer for VC on the same prefix, exactly like you would do on windows, so not any harder at all.

                i never had to do this for original games on any os.

                windows needs this sometimes if you pirate, so does linux.

                @helenslunch @umbrella A lot of Windows games need vc runtime or other libraries installed on the system.

                Steam users got this managed from the installer (also in linux) but if you install it manually from the game installer chances are that the installer may not manage their dependences.

                On linux world you can get a lot of oresets using lutris btw

            From epic freebies? I got it running by just installing vcrun via wine tricks button in heroic launcher. Steam games usually install these at first launch behind the scenes.

        I kinda do too. It’s nice having the option to play Gamepass games on PC or console. Some games are just more comfy on one than the other.

      Fortunately, since it’s playable offline, it doesn’t seem to matter how many people will be playing in a month.

    Can confirm, ran fine on my desktop machine without needing to tinker (caveat: I changed the “compatibility layer” to use proton-ge before attempting to launch it of my own initiative).

    Make no mistake, this is an early release survival/crafting budget game. The engine itself is fairly limited and feels more like a free mmo from 10 years ago than an Ubisoft game. It’s fun, though. It has all that stuff which is advertised, and I’ve been having fun with it. It’s a Skyrim kind of enjoyment, vast and shallow, but the vastness has its own appeal.

    Unfortunately this seems like the kind of game which is going to be completely ruined in about a year. It is clearly set up to farm microtransactions in the future. Right now in the goodwill period the game functions like an actual game. Some people may want them to “finish” the game before they get it, but that’s not the kind of game this is. The full release is now. In a year the game will be an unplayable skinner box.

    That pal in the thumbnail looks like someone on the Palworld team took a fan edit of an Egyptian themed lucario and specifically designed that pal to look just like it.
