Quoting: drjomsI was under impression that RADV is half baked driver implementation from AMD directly?

Death Stranding Director's Cut, Aliens: Fireteam Elite and more in Humble Choice

Quoting: GroganIt may or may not have more content, depending on what the difference is between the two. Supposedly the director knows best, but the bean counters have the final say. It's probably mostly bollocks, but it would be silly to have a director's cut if there wasn't something better or at least different about it.
It's weird, because the directors cut of Death Stranding is measured as being shorter in length compared to the normal version. So presumably that means they removed stuff instead?

I had some problems running it with the native libs supplied, but running the .jar manually with
java -Dsun.java2d.d3d=false -cp ./farsky.jar -classpath ./lib/*:./farsky.jar game.Main works fine.
