Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 Notes regarding Steam Play (Linux) data:

References

    Closed the launcher, removed its folders and launched the game without issues.
  2. Verified by User:Rose on 2019-05-21
    Tested by checking whether NVIDIA ShadowPlay would display FPS.
  3. [1] - last accessed on May 23, 2019
  4. Verified by User:Rose on 2019-05-23
    At 2560x1080, the SamOS hints are partially cut off but visible. At 5760x1080 there are no signs of them.
  5. Verified by User:Rose on 2019-05-21
    It works, and it seems to be the only way to access the extra keybindings.
  6. Verified by User:Rose on 2019-05-21
    This appeared when inspecting a document. A No Code developer said this on Discord: "It's an X inside the backwards arrow - that's what backspace looks like on most keyboards"
