Linux Client - Beta

The Linux client and editor are now available on sbox-public. We'll let you smart guys play with it on the open source repo first, and then when it's proven stable we'll push it to Steam.

Clean your repo and bootstrap it with

#!/usr/bin/env bash

dotnet run --project ./engine/Tools/SboxBuild/SboxBuild.csproj -- build --config Developer 

I've been developing it on Fedora Linux 43 w/ KDE and Wayland. So I'm sure there's going to be issues on other distros.

Known issues:

Yay!

Lois I can't believe this.

Wow... epic

Cool!

In the open source gpu driver for nvidia (NVK) we have been using the s&box benchmark to debug a performance issue we noticed with the foliage benchmark. It is one of the later tests and waiting trough all the others is a bit inefficient when we test changes in the driver. Does this client include the benchmark mode so that I could modify it to only do the foliage benchmark?

well, it's very stable. it will replace the proton version in the next update.

Will you update s&box editor in the Steam for linux? It doesn't work on Kubuntu at the moment .

I will update the editor shortcut to work with Steam Runtime.

In the meantime time you can run sbox-dev manually through steam

Yeah cool thanks more beta builds great
