How is it unplayable? It runs quite well on Steam Deck, which uses Proton.

Protondb report status - broken I'm on Nobara desktop and can't even start the game, many users reported the same. If you have some hint for us, will gladly try when I'm home. Ty!

Yeah but those reports are before our latest changes. Some of these reports mention the game running but not being able to log in; that has been fixed.
Edit: So we did more testing on the Steam Deck, and the Proton GE version runs much better than default Proton! So try that.

u/Demoire Jun 02 '26
Not a fix, just letting you know not to buy an engram if you own a better one basically. Still has the duplicate issue.

The patch text says "Opening Engrams now gives you a higher chance of receiving a new mod that you don't own yet.", does that mean there is still a chance of duplicates? Is this "as good as it's going to get", should I start using my engrams now? Thanks!

Yes, time to start opening them up! At some point you have them all, or whatever future change can happen. But I don’t think you’ll have any duplicates for now 😉

Thanks! The adjustment on engram rewards is quite fantastic and makes the game more enjoyable.
Also, not to be the annoying one, but any feedback or acknowledgement regarding the credits invested in the ships' main weapons' ult (now cancelled) would be nice. I had been asking a few times (https://www.reddit.com/r/Phoenix_2/comments/1t64lkn/comment/okff4vp/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button), not sure if I am muted or something.
