Before I buy the game, how the game is running in Linux with proton?

It is running badly even on normal computers.

It is running badly even on normal computers.

Linux has a higher performance than Windows, I posted a thread, 17% FPS gain in some games and in steamdeck, with Linux, Hitman 3 run at 34 fps VS 19 in M$ spybloatware (link to benchmarks >> https://rpgcodex.net/forums/threads...than-m-spyware-bloatware.151359/#post-9143132 )

The problem if it will run or not. Some games mainly those with Kernel level anti cheat wouldn't run.

protondb.com/app/2458310

The demo ran fine for me. No graphical anomalies. Shit performance no matter how much I lowered settings. Ryzen 5800X + 6750XT @ 1440p (no scaling bullshit). Could barely reach 60fps.

 

[Cryomancer]

Bought the game.

Can't play.Launched for the first time. The game demands that I install VC++. I install. The game suddenly closes and ask the same thing, I click yes, goes to a UNinstall option. Tried --skip-dependencies and WINEDLLOVERRIDES="msvcp140=n;vcruntime140=n" %command% but the game wouldn't launch, no matter what.

I tried find ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/2458310/pfx/drive_c/windows/ -name "vcruntime140_1.dll"
And the DLCs are found in the correct place. Also tried WINEPREFIX=~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/2458310/pfx winetricks -f vcrun2017 vcrun2015 vcrun2013 vcrun2010 and nothing. Same C++ check.

Are you running it with Steam's Proton or with some other launcher? What wine version are you using?

 

[Cryomancer]

Are you running it with Steam's Proton or with some other launcher? What wine version are you using?

Was with steam and proton GE, the most recent version. But I did it, installed the game and run it.

So far, I will be honest. Is a mixed bag.

What I didn't liked?

• Cooldowns
• Your spell damage seems to scale with weapons my Poison bolt spell went from 1 to 11+d6 damage after I equipped a staff. This is D3 tier bad.
• So far, I can't use celestial or occult magic, types of magic that are imo more interesting than the current type of magic
• Elves are taller than humans and can have beard.
• Too long loading even in a SSD
• The game is too heavy
• The beginning, walking with hospital clothing in a destroyed place was booooring.

What I liked?

• Multiple ways to solve even the most basic quest
• Skill checks everywhere
• No pronouns
• No body types 1/2
• Hot woman
• The setting
• 3 cool options for tech and 3 cool options for magic later in development.
• Magic seems to corrupt you. I like it and hope that is good implemented.
• Animations in TB aren't slow.

Just a first impressions of about half hour of game.

 

[Tyranicon]

[*]Elves are taller than humans

IIRC Tolkien's elves are generally taller than humans, with even she-elfs clocking in at six feet at a minimum. Don't use the basterdized D&D version as the standard.

and can have beard.

This is unacceptable.

 

[Heroic Liberator]

[*]Elves can have beard.

This is unacceptable.

Indeed. Beards are reserved only for real men, not elv*n pansies))

 

[The Wall]

WOKEfication and DE-WOKEfication of game tracks perfectly along changing results of American cultural and political war. If Kamala Harris had won, I could bet my entire horse cock WITH balls that gave would have had pronouns. Ukraine, is afterall sunflower vassal that turns around her Sun Master, USA. Cute and sad. Still not sold on game

 

[mediocrepoet]

[*]Elves can have beard.

This is unacceptable.

Such a high T race that even the womyn have beards.

Is not bastardized D&D version is the original Germanic folklore creature.

They are a type of Fae

Ukraine, is afterall sunflower vassal that turns around her Sun Master

Can you name one Concord tier woke game from Ukraine?

 

[TheKing01]

Game's good so far, lots of proper dialogue choices.

Not a lot of VO though, so if that bothers you might want to wait for the full release to see if that changes.

This is unacceptable.

Círdan had a beard in The Lord of the Rings. Mahtan, Feanor's father in law, had one too. Tolkien 'toyed' with the concept that Elves would have beards in the third cycle of their lives, tho some latter writtings contradicted this.

New Arc Line's First Steps in Early Access & New Translations Poll

Greetings, Magicians and Technologists!

We’re thrilled that you finally get to play the Early Access version of New Arc Line, and we are humbled and grateful beyond words by the positive reactions we've seen so far! We are also excited about what lies ahead - this launch is just the beginning of a collaborative journey with you, our fans and players. Your insights not only help us refine the game but also inspire us to explore ways to meet your expectations quickly and efficiently. As a side note, if you are experiencing technical issues with the game, please make sure all your drivers are up to date. We have seen many problems solved by a simple driver update!

Early Early Access Plans
In the Launch announcement, we have mentioned the plan to release big content updates as well as smaller patches throughout the Early Access period; and we have already noticed requests and suggestions we can fulfill in the short term, in such small updates. These are not just bug fixes, but also quality of life improvements - we will have more information for you soon. We are evaluating the needed development time and setting priorities at the moment.

About Localizations
Among the most frequent requests, and definitely not falling into the "small features" category, are additional localizations. We understand how important it is for you to be able to enjoy the game in your native language. However, full localization during Early Access is problematic, due to the constant updates and changes to the game. Adjustments to text, mechanics, and features require significant resources, which are better allocated to core development during this phase.

For the full release, we aim to deliver professional translations for the following languages:

• Ukrainian
• Spanish
• German
• French
• Simplified Chinese
• Russian

These translations will ensure high-quality localization at launch, providing an enjoyable experience for a wider audience.

To make the game accessible to more players sooner, we are considering introducing AI-generated localizations for these languages during Early Access. While not perfect, AI translations could allow you to experience the game in your preferred language early on and for us, that would mean potentially more feedback to help us in further development.

If implemented, the AI translations would be clearly labeled as such to set proper expectations; we would also invite you to participate in polishing these machine-generated texts, providing new channels to share feedback on wrong translations or strange-sounding phrases etc., and we would update them as needed. By working together like that, we could create more accurate and enjoyable localizations while maintaining our focus on developing the game itself.

We do not wish to make this decision without your input however - therefore we ask you to please answer the question "Would you like us to add AI-generated localizations to the languages listed above during Early Access?" in a poll we have created here. To be clear - we are
only considering
this option from various standpoints at this time, and even if you vote in favor of it, the AI translations may not be added in the end. We just don’t want to proceed if our community is against this idea.

We cannot thank everyone who bought or even just wishlisted the game enough; we've said it before and we'll say it again, your support means the world to us and we feel it as a bond to honor with making the game the best it can be for you. We wouldn't dream of asking more of you. We have been asked the following question by some of you however, so in case you are wondering...

How Can I Help Support New Arc Line Further?
There are several ways you can help the game, which do not cost anything but a little bit of your time. The first and foremost is
leaving a review
here on Steam. Every single positive review helps to show New Arc Line to more people. Conversely, negative reviews ("not recommended") can have a huge impact in the other direction; they are absolutely a legitimate way for you to voice any issues you have with the game, but also please realize that we have limited ways of responding to you there and getting additional information so that we can improve the game. So if your intent is to share feedback with us, report bugs, etc., please consider using the Steam Discussions or better yet, the New Arc Line Discord server.

That is actually the second most important thing you can do to help us -
share your opinions with us
. About anything in the game, really. What you like, what you don't enjoy quite as much... We read every suggestion, every bug report, every critique we can get our hands on - there truly is no such thing as "enough feedback" from our players!

And last but not least, if you really like New Arc Line and are as excited as us about its future, you can help spread the word - let us know
which content creators
you would like to see cover the game, comment on their videos or streams proposing New Arc Line to them, while we look for ways to get them a key. Follow us on social media, like and share our posts. Take screenshots of your favorite moments in the game and share them on Steam. Most importantly however,
enjoy the game!

Thank you everyone, and stay tuned - we will have more updates for you soon.

Until next time!

Game is $13 in my local currency for the steam sale.

No idea why they are pricing it so low, but less than I would pay for a Kickstarter of Fake Arcanum. So take my money.

 

[Melcar]

That is surprisingly cheap. Still, I tend to avoid EA just out of principle. The game ran like shit too when I tried the demo.

 

[Paul_cz]

337 steam CCU peak.

Not great. I hope the game is good and sales will pick up, at least in the final release if not early access. Personally I do not buy early access games.

 

[Vulpes]

So far I'm liking this game despite the poor performance and my prior skepticism, but I still think calling it an Arcanum spiritual successor is too much of a stretch and the game would probably be better off if the devs distanced themselves from that label. Sure, they're both fantasy steampunk RPGs where magic and technology are at odds, but that's pretty much it as far as similarities are concerned.

Arcanum has an open world inspired by Victorian era England and a very flexible classless system, while New Arc Line has a hub-based world with very clear similarities to the USA during the Roaring Twenties and a rigid class system that heavily effects what kind of gear (and in turn abilities) you can use. Which leads me to one of my biggest criticisms so far. I'm playing as a Diesel Engineer and yet most of the cool equipment I keep finding (like mechanical boots that give you a charge attack) is restricted to Steam Mechanics which just so happens to be the class of the first companion you get. If it were up to me, I'd make all equipment skill-dependant (ie. you need Diesel Tech at 40 to use Mk.2 Pistols or Steam Tech at 35 to use Mechanical Gloves), but in turn give each class it's own unique set of perks.

Another major issue is how small the character growth is. You have 15 skills in the game (none of which are combat-related BTW) and only 5 skill points to spread around on each level-up, regardless of how high or low your Intellect is. Level advancement is pretty slow on top of all that. I've done a ton of sidecontent and I'm still only level 5. Sure, you get a perk point every odd level, but the benefits they grant are miniscule. Outside of that and the bonuses granted by clothes, I don't think there's any other way to increase your stats. At least not currently. I don't know if it's a bug or not but I encountered one unmarked quest that sounded like it was supposed to reward me with a permanent increase to Strength, only to get absolutely nothing upon completing it.

And if anyone else here is playing a Diesel Engineer (which I recommend you do), I would suggest sticking to handguns as they're the best weapons for dealing with groups of enemies. They are dual wielded, so you're always shooting twice per one attack, which pairs well with a mechanic that's unique to them where each regular shot has a chance to ricochet and hit a nearby opponent. This is on top of another special attack (with a 3 round cooldown) revolvers/pistols get that guarantees each bullet will ricochet at the cost of weapon range. And best of all? The bullets can ricochet multiple times. I once singlehandedly cleared a large pack of mutated rats in just one turn. You can even buy an expensive pair of semiauto pistols at the market that come with an additional ability that lets you unload both of your magazines into one target at a heavy penalty to accuracy, so it's ideal for bosses and minibosses as long as you can get close enough. If money is an issue, you can find an unique variant of these pistols for free

Steampunk CRPG New Arc Line turned me into a murderous, drug-addled inventor with a giant assistant, and despite its rough edges it won me over​

The power of its setting and its dense systems make it easier to overlook its missteps.

(Image credit: Fulqrum Publishing)

As a CRPG fan of a certain vintage, I have a lot of fondness for Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura, Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines developer Troika's fantasy steampunk RPG. But it's now over two decades old, and still incredibly rough around the edges (and, frankly, everywhere else), so it's not the most playable RPG romp in 2024. Which is why I found myself eager to play New Arc Line, another fantasy steampunk CRPG, which recently launched in early access.

OK, so here's the deal: Magic used to rule the world, but that was something of an issue for most people. Reality was constantly in flux, and it turns out that kinda gets in the way of just living your life. But the Big Bad Sorcerer running the show was brought down by a hero—they do love to meddle, those heroes—which ushered in a new age of progress and technology. Magic is still hanging around, but it isn't really trusted.

(Image credit: Fulqrum Publishing)
The city of New Arc is the heart of all this progress, but finding the promise of this land of prosperity a wee bit suspect you—human or elf, engineer or voodoo practitioner, at least in this early access build—take a trip to the New World to see what's going on across the ocean. And that's where New Arc Line begins. With you searching for your lost luggage.

Well, sorta. It actually begins a few months later, in medias res, after a disaster that you seem to be at the centre of causes some apocalypse-level devastation, leaving you injured and wearing a hospital gown. But you don't get to learn much about that before you're kicked back to the docks, as you arrive in this fantastical mechanical city.
Two things are immediately apparent: New Arc Line is very much a classic, tabletop-inspired CRPG, full of dice rolls and skill checks, along with turn-based brawls. It also constantly lurches all over the place when it comes to the quality of its writing—so much so that it's hard to get a firm grip on.

Awkward bants​

(Image credit: Fulqrum Publishing)
As I got to know the residents of New Arc, the dialogue fluctuated wildly between crude banalities and flowery prose—one minute I'd be listening to a pissed-up dwarf moaning and swearing, accompanied by a monotone vocal performance awkwardly juxtaposed to his slapstick antics, and then I'd be treated to an unnecessarily overwrought description from the game's narrator, evoking the kind of purple prose you might see in a community theatre script, all contained within a single conversation.

There's just a jarringly inconsistent tone. Sometimes New Arc Line attempts to capture the patter of the era that inspired the setting, broadly the 19th and early 20th centuries, but it frequently veers into anachronistic modern slang, and even instructive text can come off as weirdly casual and conversational, like when the game refers to an NPC as "a guy".

New Arc Line doesn't put its best foot forward when it comes to the initial set of goals, or the first companion it throws at you: the abrasive brawler, and one of the city's giants, Mick. Right off the bat, I'm told to pay off his debt to a bookie, because it's apparently my fault he got knocked out in a competitive brawl. For the record, I had nothing to do with it. I showed up, he waved to me, he got knocked out. It's not my fault that this musclebound giant has a glass jaw. But you just need to go with it.

(Image credit: Fulqrum Publishing)
This was among the first of many tasks I was set—scraping together some cash. Only then would I be able to continue on my epic quests to… erm, find my luggage? New Arc Line really likes sending you on fetch quests, constantly trying to get you to find people and things. To get into the city proper, for instance, I had to pose as a theatre director's assistant, and my first job was, naturally, to round up his drunken thespians, scattered throughout the area. There's a lot of busywork.

By this point, I'd already had an encounter with the aforementioned boozy dwarf, watched my companion snort a magical drug, been offered said drug (I said yeah, why not, because I didn't want him to feel bad), and discovered that the theatre director also liked to partake. So early in a fantasy RPG, it's off-putting for so much of the focus to be on people getting high—something I would have perhaps found more entertaining when I was 16 and it was still a novelty.

But there's something to be said for the playful silliness of it all, eschewing the sometimes staid trappings of the fantasy genre. When I encountered a depressed alcoholic later on, he was under the sway of a literal green fairy (a nod to absinthe's nickname), who I then had to bargain with (or beat up) to rescue the unfortunate lush. Bullets, it turns out, are a great hangover cure.

Big picture​

(Image credit: Fulqrum Publishing)
While the moment-to-moment writing isn't impressive, the narrative has got its hooks in me. The relationship between magic and technology that sits at the centre of New Arc Line spits out some genuinely compelling scenarios, and there's also an interesting interplay between the narrative and mechanics, allowing you to decide what happens when these two competing philosophies clash.

When I found the thespians, for instance, there wasn't any time for them to learn the edited script. One of the city's politicians had mangled it with his red pen to better reflect his vision for the city, promoting the views of the technologists and celebrating his accomplishments. To make sure the play went off without a hitch, I was told to provide the actors with prompts, allowing me to determine the outcome of the play.

My class and background placed me firmly in the technologist camp (without locking me into it), and it did seem like magic was something of a menace. Only moments earlier, I'd discovered a woman who had been transformed (by herself) into a bottle of gin. So I opted to go with the edited script. The play itself amounted to nothing more than three NPCs standing on a simple stage reading some lines, but it had a significant impact: pushing the area more towards technology, which benefited me not just as someone who didn't trust magic, but also by increasing the potency of my technological abilities.

(Image credit: Fulqrum Publishing)
This rivalry continues to be the focus throughout the early access build, as you start to meddle in the city's politics and keep finding ways to pursue one of the two agendas. Even the way you interact with the environment, like repairing mechanical gizmos, moves the dial. But the tumult engulfing the city goes beyond the simple magic vs technology conflict, especially once you get to dig into how New Arc Line's ideologies affect regular people.

Just like the real Industrial Revolution, there are concerns about automation taking away jobs, and how all this progress can heighten the struggle of the already impoverished. With all of 2024's concerns over the impact of AI, the issues facing the citizens of New Arc don't feel a million miles away from reality. Ironically, the game does leverage AI's generative abilities, both when it comes to some of the art and localisation—though in the case of the latter, at least, this is just an early access concession, and developer Dreamate aims to provide "professional localisation" for Ukrainian, Spanish, German, French, Simplified Chinese and Russian at launch.

The big picture stuff is very much up my street, and even though New Arc Line is inconsistent in its quality, as a CRPG sicko the systems that prop it up are exactly my kind of shit. Like Baldur's Gate 3, the dice rolls are never far away, with skill checks popping off all the time, whether you're just walking down the street or chatting up some of the locals. Observation will help you spot NPCs you need to talk to, for instance, while insight will let you determine if someone is being less than honest with you.

High roller​

(Image credit: Fulqrum Publishing)
Though hardly novel for a CRPG, there's still a thrill when you pass an observation check and get a big description of an NPC, providing you with extra information that will help you to make informed dialogue choices. You get to feel like you've peeled back the curtain a bit: not a gormless tourist anymore, but a savvy detective, ferreting out clues and motives. Passing skill checks also nets you more tangible rewards, like getting your mitts on previously out of reach loot.

And as you build out your party, their skills are at your disposal, shoring up any weaknesses. Not a chatty type? No worries: your giant pal Mick will happily intimidate any NPCs who are less than free with their information. New Arc Line does front load the adventure with engineer companions, though, so if you're looking for variety, you might want to go down the magic route yourself. That said, your buddies still have their specialities within that broad class, and you can then develop them as you see fit, finding them their own niches.

I wasn't as convinced by the early combat, where my options were largely limited to just hitting or shooting things. Thankfully, things do start to pick up steam fairly quickly. You'll start to get your hands on new types of ammo, grenades, and all sorts of weird gizmos, like telekinetic gloves and fancy steampunk boots. Some just augment your existing combat abilities, but others give you entirely new ones, offering new attacks or some handy utility. A lot of this will be crafted, but New Arc is filled to the brim with loot, and some quests will reward you with multiple items for a variety of builds.

(Image credit: Fulqrum Publishing)
At first, I favoured diplomacy over violence—and I appreciate the fact that this is so often an option—but once I got my hands on some dual-wielding pistols which let me pull off trickshots and counter-attacks, I became positively aggressive, looking for any excuse to kick off. Even though it has a loose, slightly janky quality, once the combat options start racking up, murder begins to hold a great deal of appeal.

A few hours in, things had started to click, with the flaws buried underneath a bevy of systems and the constant drip of choice and consequence—the hallmark of a good CRPG. Where before I had merely liked what it was trying to do, by the time I was well into my quest I was thoroughly enjoying myself. I needed little motivation to continue exploring the bizarre city as it spat out a colourful array of surprises conjured up by the juxtaposition of magic and modernity.

New Arc de Triomphe​

(Image credit: Fulqrum Publishing)
It's a striking setting that manages to tease out lots of oddities, even though both fantasy and steampunk are well trodden settings, and it's a city built for sauntering: every street and corner tries to catch your eye with shops, quest-givers, peculiar contraptions and, of course, containers full of loot. It's a lively, bustling place, and one of the most fetching isometric RPGs I've played—at least when it comes to the environment. Character models are less impressive, and it seems to be impossible to equip anyone with gear that doesn't clip.

While I enjoyed my trips across the city, what I absolutely did not enjoy was the terrible optimisation. Even with my beefy rig (RTX 4090, Intel i9-13900k, 32GB RAM), I frequently had to contend with frame rates as low as 20. With that in mind, I suspect everyone is going to be dealing with significant bouts of poor performance. Oh, well! My tolerance for that sort of thing is pretty high when it comes to early access games—but it's worth noting for those of you who want a smooth ride right out the gate.

Dreamate is aiming for New Arc Line to leave early access late next year, and it's rather reassuring to see that the team isn't attempting to create another 100 hour epic. What's available now will keep you busy for around 10 hours, and it's apparently around a third of the game. With a shorter script to worry about, I'm hoping its writers will have time to punch it up, going a long way to alleviating some of the early access version's shortcomings. What we've got now, though, is an undeniably creative game that makes great use out of its TTRPG-inspired systems.

I really do hope this thing comes out well.
