As an avid[1] X4 Foundations player I'm more than happy that I stumbled over @egosoft@mastodon.social today.

I couldn't find a cross referencing link from their website [yet] but I did check back on their Discord and got the confirmation by belgoray that this account is indeed official

[1] I'm really batshit crazy about this game - heck I even hacked it to sideload an UDP server to interface with my home cockpit ๐Ÿค“

Huh, judging by the fact that X3 and X4 run natively on Linux this surprises me only a bit

... does X4 run natively? idr

[-] bekopharm@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 8 months ago

Huh? Rebirth and X4 do run natively, yes.

Minus some details like head tracking but I am needling em about this again and again so there is hope and the workaround is okay-ish ๐Ÿ™ƒ

I even fired up Beyond The Frontier (for the lolz) via Wine and even that worked ๐Ÿคช

I tried getting BtF bto work but for some reason it's a constant slow-motion for me, I had to give up and watch some playthrough for the lore

@bekopharm Awesome that's another account extending my gaming news timeline.

Thank you ๐Ÿ˜„

Ooh this is cool! Itโ€™s inspired me to reinstall x4 on my steam deck and see whether Iโ€™m still stuck in the floor, or whether some patch has fixed whatever bug I managed to hit after many many hours of game time. ๐Ÿ˜ญ

@Floppy @bekopharm@discuss.tchncs.de when stuck you can usually always teleport to the ship via hotkey (and after researching teleport basically on any ship or station).

There's only an exception for this at the very beginning where no player owned ship may exist yet.

Yeah, sadly that doesnโ€™t work - I arrive and then immediately sink a few cm into the floor again. Itโ€™s very odd.
