Some fonts do not render correctly
Tabbing back into the game takes a couple of seconds to load it, once the inventory screen got squished to 1/3rd of the width.
Did not try multiplayer
Runs out of the box, perfectly playable, wide variety of graphics settings to fiddle with for weaker systems.
There are some random periods in the game which cause my GPU to struggle a little, otherwise it would even run high settings without any issue. On medium settings it is no longer noticeable (haven't singled out the particular setting yet, i assume particles)
As this was an older installation, i had to verify files to get it working after the Emergency Hotfix in mid-august 2024: one file failed to verify and was redownloaded. Then it worked again.
It seems like every little patch/hotfix breaks something and it takes a while to get fixed. Currently broken.
Game was stuck in Fullscreen and crashing. Went to the config file in compdata->AppData and disabled fullscreen and enabled borderless_fullscreen
I vaguely remember the fullscreen thing being an issue when the game launched and tried it on a lark. It seems there has been a regression with the game. But it initially starts in borderless after install, and it's easy to change the config file back, so i still recommend it
If you have the patience to follow iWooJoo's steps in a report below, it works. playable, not great
FeralInteractives Gamemode EasyAntiCheat DLL's from Paladins
This is the same as on Windows: If my Joystick is plugged in, it constantly turns right.
Occasional Stutter
Every time i quit the game, i have to SIGKILL the EasyAntiCheat Process, otherwise the game will freeze instead of closing
Followed the steps by iWooJoo below. it then works, but doesn't really work great. i'd call it playable on my machine with gamemode, even in PvP.
runs out of the box without issues
if your structure get's really complex (like a giant flying city or skyscrapers), it takes a little longer for the AI to react to your changes, you can still continue building, the visual effect of the tiles interacting might need a second to catch up,e.g. whether the entire flying city flies or is strutted to the floor, which can change with every tile placed depending on the other tiles in the city base level. i have no comparison to a native install on windows, but it seems to happen there, too, and the game runs good enough that i would not call it an issue, really, a nuisannce when you go over the scope of the game.
