Upon testing, I realized that the workermap could be extrapolated to more cores, so I made several other worker map files to support 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28 and 32 cores. It even has a non-working 8 core support implemented (in fact, the 8 core worker map file is there, but the game won't make use of it on modern hardware and implements it weirdly).ĮGO engine it has been vastly used on several titles from Codemasters, so I did a little investigation on other EGO 1.0 and 1.5 titles, and came up with a fix for that 8 core workermap.

So given that circunstance, the game already has support for 2 and 4 cores CPU, mostly from the Dual and Quad Core era. Article taken from game was launched on 2008, just prior to Intel's Sandy Bridge Core microarchitecture, which more or less marked a milestone on multithreading as we all know it nowadays. You may be able to get it to work on desktop Linux too in offline mode by using SteamDeck=1 %command% as a Steam launch option for the game, which likely won't work for Windows since the Steam Deck is just a Linux machine. So I wonder how many people refunded it due to the issues, that would now have to buy it at full price… Not sure if it was intentional or not, but this patch to fix offline play on Steam Deck went out just after the sale ended. Just a reminder though you'll need Proton Experimental to get the best experience right now, since the latest release of Proton Experimental from October 11th is what fixed the online play. Nice to see them solved! Although, a little odd to see it only being done for Steam Deck. The game performed great on Steam Deck but the initially broken online play and forced internet even for single-player were big problems. Pretty much my only complaints about it have now been solved, so I really see no reason not to recommend it now. The keyboard overlay now works properly for Steam Deck users.This is a really small update too but addresses the two biggest annoyances for those skating on Steam Deck:

Patch 1.1 is for Steam Deck players so here's what's changed. Activision have released an update for Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 on Steam.
