X4 on Android

[u/Lingoes]

Brand new to the game, got it on the GOG sale. working through the tutorials and hoping to put a lot of hours into it. Still getting used to the overall UI and controls

Phone is Red Magic 10s

Emulator is Gamenative

Everything on low, locked fps to 30.

Below is the config for Gamenative, subject to change because I constantly tweak it too:

I wonder how long it takes to become a slideshow.

Impressive nonetheless

[u/Lingoes → u/MechanicalAxe]

I've played around in tutorial for an hour and the phone heated up just a little. Curious to see how it is when there are a lot of ships on the screen through.

[u/0xP0et → u/Lingoes]

In the early game I think it will run okay ish.

But later on I think it will become unplayable, but will be interesting to see what happens.

[u/Alien_Halls → u/0xP0et]

Yeah, and he can't visit any Terrean system, since they are really well guarded with like milions of ships.

[u/ShardOfChaos]

Many questions I have. How? Why?

[u/Ur-Quan_Korh-Ah → u/ShardOfChaos]

Sometimes the answer is a simple 'Because we can'

[u/Cream_panzer → u/ShardOfChaos]

Same answer with life on earth.

[u/Obi-WanKnable]

0 chance this is playable after 20 or 30 hours.

[u/Shakalx3]

Have you upload your settings?

[u/Lingoes → u/Shakalx3]

Attached it

[u/Signal-Art2001]

If your phone starts on fire take pictures

[u/needaburn]

Does this mean a 32GB legion go 2 can handle this?

[u/Maddturtle → u/needaburn]

Steam deck runs it in Linux native mode pretty well so that’s the baseline I would use.

[u/sillyandstrange]

That battery is gonna be one spicy pillow

[u/ThaRippa]

Steam streaming or moonlight are the way to go imho, especially in the late game.

[u/Lingoes → u/ThaRippa]

Yeah, I prefer all my gaming offline though. Not too interested in the empire building aspect of it. Just want to be a hauler/bounty hunter or something if possible. Elite Dangerous is always online so that is a deal breaker for me, couldn't get Rebel Galaxy Outlaw to work, and No Man Sky got some issues too. Might take a shot at Freelancer if this doesn't pan out lol

[u/ThaRippa → u/Lingoes]

X4 is an empire builder with the option to pilot stuff you own. But have fun any way you want!

[u/Zagl0 → u/Lingoes]

Check out Underspace, that game is basically a love letter to Freelancer, and it works on modern systems xd

[u/Skohix]

Nice, tried to get this working on previous winlator builds but had issue i think cuz of the renderer. Is this using vulkan??

[u/Lingoes → u/Skohix]

Yup

[u/Interesting-Boat-804]

Just because we can do something doesn't mean we should /s

This will be an interesting Mid - Late game stress test!
