The thing you need to know about VIDEOGAMES is that it is in-fact, one word, no spaces and always fully capitalised

(Just so you know-characters with only 3 connection levels ending as FRIENDS is a bug, but just slow low priority compared to everything else Ive been dealing with for the last 2 weeks-I’ll get to it. Sorry it stuck out like that. It’s supposed to end on SOULMATES like character with 4 connections)

i thiiiiiiiink i got it sorted now - but like, yeah not fun hah

i have deployed a new linux build to steam which may fix this - its hard to tell. If you switch off proton, let me know if you still have issues. Thanks!

Switching your steam deck to use proton compatibility mode for the game should fix it and totally unblock you - i understand this isnt ideal. Its just a real weird issue we dont have much control over at the moment

we have been trying hard to fix this, but not having much luck. Its either a graphics driver issue or a unity bug and only effects Linux - nothing else. Ive been having a hard time reproducing it on my own steam deck, which makes things even weirder.

It should be fine if you just dont talk to her before starting the main line story quest on week 5 monday morning - you will not crash as you go into the Dean's office. A new switch patch was just published this morning btw which fixes a lot of stuff, but not this. This will be in the next one.

HELLO - there is a bug in the switch version currently, where if you talk to Primrose in Classroom 2 or the rooftop on week 5 Monday morning and then change location 3 times - the game will crash (which is a WILD bug). Very sorry you hit this!

Just added a script that check if your on Linux, and disables that vfx. Completely stable now. Very stupid.

It’s a Unity game, and yeah I’m regretting shipping a native version lol. I tracked the crash down to an instance of a particle effect that’s used all over the game, that’s using a standard Unity URP shader. Nothing special about it. Crazy.

i cant really tell steam deck users "idk update your drivers" unfortunately heh

rip

Unity does default to Vulkan on linux, so who knows maybe. Its not my main area of expertise. It happens during some very specific animation playbacks, so im going to keep disabling object till i find exactly which ones doing it so ive got something to work on

If there's some kind of known issue, i would LOVE to actually know about it! hah

Thinking about that old truism about Linux users being like 1% of your sales and 90% of your support tickets... except that's not true anymore because Steam Deck.

(Hello, sorry this is a bug- it’s been fixed on pc, will be fixed on all consoles except switch on Monday, and will be fixed on switch at some point in the future, patched take at least a week to go out there)
