Problem is also that Apple deprecated their OpenGL support. Not to mention that it was always bad.

Re: Linux version?
Why does Egosoft always delay the Linux version of their games? Why is this not done in parallel?
The same problem existed when the previous games were released and this one is only a community mod.
Re: Linux version?
Because we're a small team, and developing in parallel would be expensive, inefficient and completely impractical. This would be true even if the game were earning some money to help pay for that development, but this one is free. And while we're here, please don't insult the team who worked on it by calling it "only a community mod"; it is considerably more than that.
Oh, and one more thing: giving the game a negative review on Steam over this, as you have, is a really great way to kill any motivation the team might have had to look into this further. Good job.

Re: Linux version?
Please don't take this kind of attitude with the devs. We're a much smaller market than the Windows users and this work was done largely for "free", there's no reason to sound entitled about it.
I, for one, am grateful that the Linux community gets X Universe ports and am thankful to CBJ and the devs for their work, even if it IS delayed.

Re: Linux version?
Cloning device or time machine probably. Unfortunately my supply of both ran out.

X fanatic. More of an X3 fanatic.
What about X4? Nah, I prefer a space simulator rather than a walking simulator.

Definitely don't listen to him. He doesn't speak for all Linux users. I personally am a Software Dev myself and wholeheartedly understand the time limits.

Re: Linux version?
Just curious if there is an update to this. Wouldn't be too much of a big deal with Proton on Steam, but because of the dependency on X3 Core, this means that installing Farnham's Legacy through Proton breaks the Linux native installs of TC and AP since Steam doesn't allow both a Linux and Windows copy of X3 core to be installed simulatenously
Re: Linux version?
Once we're confident that the EXE part of the game is stable and not going to receive any further updates, I will bother "the Linux guy" about when he'd be available to get this sorted out. While I can probably borrow him for one build, I very much doubt I'll get a second chance.

Re: Linux version?
As much as I agree that they could do with a proper CI setup so that builds don't depend on a specific person, I doubt they will let random people on the internet help them with that.
