Looks like you've found it anyhow

Just for the reference, the last upstream version of Wine that works without audio crackling is Wine-staging 6.8.

I found one suggestion that fixed the audio crackling for me even for recent Wine-staging! Switching Wine audio driver from Pulse to ALSA fixed it. I suppose it still goes through either Pulse ALSA plugin or Pipewire ALSA plugin? Not sure, my backend is Pipewire anyway, but crackling can be avoided this way!

To switch I did this:

WINEPREFIX=<path_to_prefix> winetricks settings sound=alsa

Have you been able to play a fair bit of the game? Most of what I read about it is.. not good :-/
Shmerl Aug 6, 2021
I only started, so can't really say much but it looks pretty good so far story wise. And some new mechanics are surely better than TW3. What I don't like though are some UI elements that can't be turned off, like constantly glowing quest marker and such. What were CDPR thinking not making UI customizable? It's a clear regression from TW3.

To reduce autosave spamming, create custom.ini (you can use any ini file name):

; Put this in engine/config/platform/pc

[SaveConfig]
AutoSaveEnabled = true
AutoSavePeriod = 900
;AutoSavePeriodOnLock = 30
;CheckpointSavePeriod = 60 

[Developer/SaveSlotsConfig]
NumAutoSaveSlots=3

I really enjoyed it. Probably give it 8/10. I played about 95 hours of it. On PC the bugs have mostly been ironed out. The combat is satisfying and the plot is ok, even if the main story line is a little short. The city feels big, and there's plenty to do.

TW3 reference in the game

Found a bike to ride there

Found this cool area for riding a bike (no traffic there) after meeting Meredith Stout.



Too bad there is no good way to turn off the HUD in the game for taking screenshots.
