I udpated the game again on Steam, it includes another change to the linux startup configuration. It works fine here. Can you please update to the newest version and try to start the game again? Let me now if the error is still happening Cheers, Micha

Ok then something might not work yet. I'll analyze it more. You can try this to solve the problem: Locate ~/.config/unity3d/Nimbatus/Nimbatus/ and edit the playerprefs. Replace the 1 with a 0 at <pref name="Screenmanager Resolution Use Native" type="int">1</pref> So it might look like this: <unity_prefs version_major="1" version_minor="1"> <pref name="Screenmanager Fullscreen mode" type="int">0</pref> <pref name="Screenmanager Resolution Height" type="int">1080</pref> <pref name="Screenmanager Resolution Use Native" type="int">0</pref> <pref name="Screenmanager Resolution Width" type="int">1920</pref> <pref name="Sound" type="float">0.362963</pref> <pref name="UnitySelectMonitor" type="int">0</pref> <pref name="unity.cloud_userid" type="string">MjFlYjcxYWYxMGRhZTQ3MTFiMzYyZmNiMDg3NTBkZjU=</pref> <pref name="unity.player_sessionid" type="string">NTEzMzI4MjQzMTAzODg3NjY3OA==</pref> </unity_prefs> Then restart the game again.

We uploaded another fix today that should help with Linux players that only see a white screen and the discord / forum button.

This was fixed with todays patch 0.5.7

Hey crew, We just released the update 0.5.7 for Nimbatus. It fixes some problems you found and adds two new logic parts. New Features: Added NOR Gate Added Triggered Impulse part that acts similar to an impulse giver, but can be triggered by an input key. Reworks: Added Tooltips for Impulse Givers Editor Settings (Center of Gravity, Tags, etc. ) are now persistent Balancing: Slowed down the turning speed of the Snake Bugfixes: Fixed overlapping music while inside Sumo Testarena Fixed floating point input fields on systems that use comma as decimal seperator First launch on Linux systems will now be windowed mode to avoid resolution problems Fixed a display bug for the page control in the drone browser Thanks for reporting bugs and posting suggestions, keep it up! Cheers, Stray Fawn Studio Remark: Its advisable to update your game before you go into a sumo tournament, as drones using the new parts won't be downloaded until you update.

I see, the problem is the comma. I will change the input field to use an culture invariant parsing, this means you will need to use . instead of , after the next patch But it should fix the input problems

There is a push and pull upgrade for the lasers. It can be used to push something away or pull it towards you. However it only works against enemies at the moment. The magnet also affects your own parts.

Good idea to make this configurable, the upper limit is currently set to 300fps.

The logic parts are wireless, so distance should not be a problem. You can achieve this by using an OR-Part

Thanks for reporting! Ill check it out and fix it

Thanks for reporting this bug! Ill have a look at this tomorrow morning

Hey Thanks for reporting You can try to start the game in windowed mode, maybe this will fix your issues. Please locate this folder: ~/.config/unity3d/Nimbatus/Nimbatus/ There should be a settings.ini inside this folder, open it and change the values to this. UseFullScreen = 0 ScreenWidth = 1920 ScreenHeight = 1080 Then restart the game and see if it works. We are currently working on a fix right now.

Hey, welcome to our forums

Yes this is something we promised during our kickstarter They will work similar to the sumo tournament but inside a larger arena and with weapons and traps

Adding Multiplayer would be cool, but requires a major rework of the game. Therefore it's not planned for the near future.

Thanks for reporting Makes sense to allow downloaded drones in the practice tournament. We will fix it next week.

Exploding fueltanks are too overpowered in Sumo. We pushed a hotfix, so fueltanks no longer explode when they break off. They only explode when they take direct damage from weapons or other explosions.

Dear Drone Engineers, We just released the update 0.5.3 for the Closed Alpha of Nimbatus! We are currently doing the last bugfixes and improvements for the Early Access release in two weeks! New Features Added a Booster fueltank with large capacity Added a Supercapacitor with large capacity Fueltanks now explode and deal damage when destroyed After completing a Sumo Tournament, you now see some global statistics The game settings are now stored in an editable *.ini file. (previous settings are reset) The current planet can now be restarted if you drone explodes Added different loading screen tips Added new music for the different planets and sumo tournament Reworks: Added Animations for the start screen Balanced recharge rate and capacity of fueltanks and batteries Replaced the SolarPanel with a Large Battery Energy shields now need to recharge after some hits Added more settings for the dynamic thruster to make it better usable The dynamic thruster now starts with active thrust Added new Icons for the Worldmap Increased the spawnrate of blue minerals on lava planets Bugfixes: Fixed the Image Color when uploading a drone to the Steam Workshop. (You need to reupload your drones to fix it) Fixed some spelling Issues Fixed that the playtime was not synced correctly using Steam Cloud Fixed Steam Workshop browser paging buttons Thanks for testing, keep it up!
