| Tiny Patch | 2022-05-11 | Just a (few) tiny patch(es), more updates should be coming before too long! May 20 2022 Patch 8782838 ------------------------------------------------------------------- -Fixed issue where mod would fail to load first try when code compilation was needed -Fixed issue where complex mod configurations could cause mod hash to initialize with an out of order list, causing two synchronized games to think they had different mods May 16 2022 Patch 8749737 ------------------------------------------------------------------- -Fixed issue with custom level blocks resetting if level is tested before saving (thanks collin, sorry everyone for leaving this |
| Proton Support Patch | 2022-04-08 | This patch is intended to allow Duck Game to run flawlessly through Proton on Linux (this hopefully includes the Steam Deck, I haven't got one to test with yet) with mods and all, and without requiring the '-linux' command line option. Something seems to have broken Proton 6 and below as mods are now unable to load textures properly in those versions and there's unfortunately nothing I can do about it on my end. So if you want to play with mods it seems that you need to upgrade to Proton 7 or higher. Please let me know if you're still having any issues running through Proton, and please include your Linux distro, Proton version and crash log |
