Depends on how you count it. There is a multiplayer mod, nebula. Before the latest major patch (introducing enemies), it worked pretty flawlessly. I only had some glitch with infinite bot charge sometimes but nothing game breaking. Very rarely it randomly stated an error and had to re-join the host. Only downside is that you need to (and must be able to) port forward yourself! Otherwise playable like if it was singleplayer.

For the latest version, last time I checked, there was still no official release. But a work-in-progress I could have potentially downloaded and compiled myself. But since my motivation to play was already low I chose not to figure that out.

Dyson Sphere Program, it is great in multiplayer and cool to see your dyson sphere grow. But at some point it is just tedious to expand and you don't have any real benefit from it. The few runs I made were nice but never finished a sphere. It also takes so much time I do not have anymore.

Out of curiosity: do you have an example that looks especially weird? I haven't really noticed before but you stating that I maybe know what you might put a limit on.

No worries, thank you! Going to bed now anyways :)

No problem, thank you very much! I was just highly confused and had to double check and correct votes all the time :D

Thank you! I was very confused with the new look of the app in the morning! But I have not figured out yet, if the inconsistent inversion of the voting buttons is a wrong setting or a bug. The buttons are one way for the post itself but the other way around for comments. In other words, the order of the up-/downvote buttons are switched. And yes, I am the idiot with the tablet, using lefthand mode but not tablet view, again.

Edit: thank you for my save button!

For my small hobby project compiling was absurdly slow. Switching to mold really cut down on waiting time.

Edit: should have been a reply to "just keep the tab open"... Anyways, just keep the tab open. Maybe you stumble upon it again when closing some urelated tabs.

I still have tabs open from when I researched for my paper. That was... some years ago. It must be more than 3k open at this point since it was 2k already some time ago.

Fun fact: firefox many moons ago would take a veeery long time to open. That has been fixed for quite some time now. Also, I think they stopped bombarding DNS queries for every open tab... Fun times when you opened firefox and nothing would work for some time because the DNS servers temporarily blocked you.

Well shit, I didn't know that. It has been a long time since I touched Android dev and also never needed that knowledge.

One app I rarely use, uses some event that is triggered when it goes to the background or whatever. As soon as the app leaves the foreground, it shows the "saved" toast. It works both with the home button for the "desktop" and also when using the "open apps" switch UI (whatever that is called). Of course that is a step before the force close and is more complex to to handle for you since the editor window is not closed.

Thank you for putting up with my shit xD

Perfect! Have fun :)

Yeah, on first use it compiles and caches shaders. I think I was disappointed too from that when I first launched talos principle 2. But that was the only time it really affected me. For most other games you won't really notice.

Sorry! So from a user perspective, the navbar just moves, sorry for the confusion. The switch between normal and rail mode works. And both modes work. But when I change the setting in a way that makes the bars switch, any of them stops working. Meaning, the buttons are interactable and theey switch their active state, but their action is not triggered. Restarting the app fixes it.

Example:

  1. Be on Home page
  2. Go to settings
  3. Set rail from off to on (or reversed)
  4. Tap on inbox (or saved, ...)
  5. Active button changes (the highlight showing on what page we are) but the page is not changed (we stay on the home page and do not navigate to the inbox)

Also, I found out (I think) that when writing a comment, and in the middle switching to another app and then closing summit, does not save a draft. I assume, you only save drafts when navigating inside the app and do not check that. I mean I did not expect it to, just letting you know.

Thank you!

The app doesn't handle tablets very well at the moment

I am not really sure what you mean because I am pretty satisfied how everything works, actually. I am mostly just stumbling over weird things and just wrote them down :D It was just a bit annoying to reach to the back button instead of touching outside the popup.

I veeery shortly tried out the rail nav but I am not sure. I have not missed the vertical space to be completely honest. But I am testing it out some more, I think. Alsoooooo, after changing this setting, the navbar becomes unusable xD
