You should only need dotnetdesktop9, the game is native Vulkan - dxvk and vkd3d are, to my understanding, compatibility layers for games that use DX11/12. There's further compatibility (hardware, mostly) issues, but that's the gist of it, it just needs dotnet 9.

Linux Mint has been very slow to receive updates, even compared to Debian. The flagship DE (Cinnamon) hasn't had anywhere near as much work put into it as KDE or Gnome over the past few years either. It was a good recommendation a few years ago, but I'd be hesitant to recommend it now...

The ability for any given user to display how they should be referred to doesn't make the forum any less focused on KSA - it's a bit strange to suggest it does. The forum is a place to communicate, pronouns are a part of effective communication.

0220:err:eventlog:ReportEventW L"Exception Info: System.AccessViolationException: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt." Given that CPU and lack of dedicated GPU, I'm inclined to think you just don't have the hardware you'd need...

Installing the Vulkan SDK from here is what made me able to boot the game, that might work for both of you? I'll update the original post with it. Other than that, it's just a matter of hoping the newest build works or not. I'm settling into "wait a bit longer and see", because once it's public...

I've been trying to run the game on Fedora, and sharing the ups and downs in this thread. If you're looking to run the game yourself on Linux, that's probably a good place to share your attempts and fixes! Once we have a good way to get the game running on Linux, I'll update the main post there...

I've got build 2025.10.10.2613 working! No changes to the previous config. First time I ran it, with all the quality options turned down to the lowest on the "Earth and Luna" system it crashed when I tried to go to the Map View Second time, running the full Solar system - everything was a...

Given that I only seem to that specific error when I do the screenshot jiggery-pokery, I think that might be some issue caused by a combination of Wine, Vulkan, KSA, and Spectacle. If it *is* an out of memory problem, then something's gone wrong - I've got 32gb system ram and 12gb video ram...

I've been poking through kjournald browser to see if I can find any clues. In one of the 3 crashes, there's a systemd core dump for plasmashell, but I think that happened because of the forced shutdown - but it didn't happen every time. Another thing I tried is launching the game through the...

Installing that got me part of the way there! I can now boot the game and get to the startup menu. ...unfortunately, once I try to load the system, it crashes once I get to the "Spherical Billboarding" loading step. At least I assumed it crashes - the system stops giving me any graphics output...

I've been trying to run KSA build v2025.10.8.2502 on Linux, and thought I'd document here what's worked and hasn't worked. I haven't got it to run, so unfortunately this isn't a 'guide'. Not going to ask for tech support, because this is a pre-alpha for a game on an unsupported platform, but I...

Thanks for the info! That clears up any questions about it I could come up with. Will just be good to have in the help pages when they exist!

The "trending content" sushi-roll menu only shows up on the homepage, it disappears when viewing a post. Would it make sense to put it at the bottom of the homepage layout when on mobile, instead of in a sometimes-there menu? "What's New" is also in the hamburger menu on the left, so...

We all love a dark theme, and it's probably the one I'd personally keep using - but the choice of a Light theme is an important accessibility tool, and it's not something easy to implement on the browser end (compared to a plethora of force-dark-mode extensions such as DarkReader). Users with...

Pronouns are important information for any platform where people are communicating. If I need to refer to something someone else has said, I'd need to say something like "@user123 said that [they]'d used an RD-107, not an RD-108, which is why [they] didn't have enough delta-v", and if a user...
