Currently downloading Beyond Two Souls.
Not really interested in Heavy Rain since I already finished it on Sony PS3.

I won't buy this game even if in the unlikely event that it will have a Linux version. The letterboxing in 16:9 aspect ratio is annoying and its game play is not that much different with Heavy Rain.

1080p, everything on High, Vsync On, Borderless Window, Resolution scale 2.00, Ultra is working with playable perf but with lots and lots of tearing ).
Config : r9 3900, 5700xt, 32Gb, Mesa 20.0.7
So hyped for this release, never missed a Quantic Dreams since Omikron ( earlier if you count Koshan conspiracy) but since I've skipped Ps4...

Windows and Linux use the same mechanism and the same numbers, but each number does a different thing in each case (even different versions of Windows have the numbers representing different things, so the game developers use a look-up table for the version of Windows, because of course they do 🙄)
So the patch to the kernel is to allow it to see that system calls are coming from a Windows application (based on memory location) and pass them to Wine for interpretation, rather than using them directly and having them fail because the application is sending NtProtectVirtualMemory and Linux is seeing chdir.
What a mess.
Edit: although I did have to kill the explorer.exe process at the end after I quit.

Excellent. :)
I hope to finally get around to trying it myself soon so I can post my impressions as well.
