Risk System

Known Issue: Linux Sound Libraries

We have been notified of some game-crashing issues on Ubuntu relating to sound library compatibility. Specifically, the engine seems to very strongly prefer pulseaudio.

We are working with our engine support team and investigating personally but the fix may take some time.

In the meantime, Risk System on Ubuntu seems like it is likely to have issues for some distros/configurations. To some extent, this is unavoidable (the Linux ecosystem is large and complicated) but we will do our best to at least describe the settings we see working and update our system requirements to make purchase decisions more informed.

Launch Stream with Mach_Dent Tonight! 6PM CST

In under three hours, the talented Mach_Dent (voice of Ashley) will be streaming Risk System on twitch.

Make sure and join us!

Known Issues: Leaderboard Overflow/Localization

We have detected a small display issue on leaderboards where the text overflows the screen area. Also, we are aware that extended unicode characters will not display correctly.

The overflow issue will be resolved very shortly.

The unicode/localization issues will be dealt with more holistically in an ongoing localization effort. We will have polls shortly to determine which languages we should prioritize for translation/implementation.

Known Issue: Ubuntu Framerate

There is a potential workaround recommended by a player.



  • 1. Compile/install libstrangle https://github.com/milaq/libstrangle …
  • 2. Right click properties in Steam. Uncheck "Enable the Steam Overlay"
  • 3. Click Set Launch Options and enter the following


VSYNC=1 strangle 60 %command%

Enjoy!


NOTE: We have not verified the entirety of this library so use at your own risk. We will be checking it out more thoroughly in the near future but if you know/trust this library, it may solve your problem.

Known Issues: Custom Controls / Fullscreen

We are tracking reports of issues saving custom controller configuration and entering/staying in full screen.

Controller Config - We have a new build queued up that should remedy this situation. Still, it would be useful if you report you are having this issue along with the attempted combination of saved controls so we can more effectively QA this.

Fullscreen - We are not entirely sure what is happening here but an attempt at a remedy is being pushed with the same new build mentioned above. If the game exits fullscreen, trying ALT-ENTER or F4 should toggle to fullscreen in most cases. If this issue persists, please message us with information about system configuration and other resident software (especially screen capture/streaming software).

We apologize for any inconvenience and are working as quickly as we can to follow up and remedy every issue. We are a two-man development team with limited resources but are passionate about providing an optimal experience. Please bare with us as we resolve these launch issues.

IMPORTANT UBUNTU INFORMATION: NVIDIA Framerate Issue

It has always been very important to us to have day one Linux support for Risk System. Unfortunately, known issues with our chosen game engine have conspired to throw a spanner in the works.

Ubuntu builds from GameMaker Studio 2, when played on Linux machines with NVIDIA graphics cards have an uncapped framerate. We have tried what we can from the development side but to no avail.

We are assured that a fix for this is already finished and will be available in the next release.

AS SOON as we can deliver a quality product, we will do so. In the meantime, players on Linux systems may encounter bizarre behavior until the patch.

Note: The Linux version of the game will remain available in order to secure launch week sale prices and for those users that have non-NVIDIA graphics cards.
