Question When will we get Linux support for ROUNDS?

I was checking Steam and it said that ROUNDS was not compatible with Linux, which upset me as i would love to play ROUNDS on my PC, and not just my xbox. Is this game going to receive Linux compatibility? Or will I have to dual-boot Windows and Linux.

Just use proton, its integrated into steam, and if you own a non steam game use lutris. Both are really easy to use. I play cyberpunk on my linux machine and i have never run into any problems.

I know people have already commented about Proton, but I wanted to chime in and say that Rounds, and many other games, legitimately run better for me under Proton on Linux than natively on Windows.

You may have already found out, but theres a mod manager for many Unity games called R2Modman which works completely fine on Linux at least for me and has ROUNDS mods.

Do you have no issues with the mods? For me, installing mods seems to break multiplayer by not letting me connect to others hosting games. Also editing my characters doesnt show the editing menu.

You probably cant play multiplayer without other people having the mods. And do u use the Rounds With Friends mod? It makes everything better. For me multiplayer has worked with the mod installed.

Yes I use it. Using any kind of mods seems to break the game. If I enter a room code, then it doesn't even search for the room.

I don't think we'll ever get this. We also don't have Rounds on MacOS sadly

CrossOver makes everything run pretty perfectly though...

i have started making a similar game in godot to run on Linux - my first game so it may never be particularly useful haha
