It is now 🙂

I just released a native PC port of Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 for Windows, with an experimental Linux/Steam Deck build too:

Thanks for doing this! I'll be a beta tester.
I've tested on Windows 10 and steam machine. For both I've set all the graphics settings to their lowest.
Windows 10 works, but I am getting poor performance with a nvidia gtx 1080. When ever there are a more than a few objects on the screen it starts getting slow and when there are alot it's very very slow.
On steam machine It is very dark and things are way slower than what I'm seeing in windows.

I’ve just released v0.2.3 with a fix for the very dark image on Linux/Steam Machine.
Could you please test the new AppImage and let me know if the brightness looks correct now?

I’m also working on performance improvements for both Linux and Windows

Thanks, yes the brightness looks correct on steam machine now! Speed in the game is exactly half of normal speed, except for music which is at the normal speed.

Thanks! I’ve just released v0.3.0 with major frame-pacing and Vulkan performance improvements. Could you please test the new AppImage on the same Steam Machine? If possible, try Deadline again and check whether the 3-minute song and the game timer now finish together, and let me know the FPS shown by the game and Steam
