Just waiting for Proton 5.22. Would be great.

Have CP2077 in Linux on the same release day with the new version of Proton. It would be incredible.

I skipped the mfplat report on 5.21, but looks like I'll have a busy day testing tomorrow. I've got a few new additions to the list too.

Also it might be a good time to test some old games with video issues.

Looks like there's been some work on the quartz front, yay!

Also nice to see the fontconfig changes. Not sure how noticeable these particular changes are, but startup time is an issue.

Nobody buying it, on any platform, so that it's a complete flop, would be a better outcome.

I've got no opinion on the game. It might be great, it might be terrible: we'll see when they stop crunching their devs and release it.

CDPR, though, are Linux-hostile, and used the CP2077 Twitter account to mock people for wanting a Linux Galaxy client.

That thread, yeah; there's more than the one tweet.
