Looks quite great, I'll definitely keep an eye on this.

Quoting: WorMzyAwesome news! I've been replaying the previous game in Crossover (works perfectly, btw) to rekindle my interest in the series. Gonna be looking forward to this!

When I tried to play it on Crossover 15 I got a black screen, how did you proceed?

I probably should've clarified that you need to disable DX11 in the options (Steam has a separate option to launch the config manager, if you didn't install through steam then you might need to manually edit an ini somewhere).

I did... I guess I should just try it again...

By the way, I bought the very first Deux Ex in its big cardboard box back when it got released on Mac, I still have it proudly displayed on my living room. This game single-handedly changed the way I see video games, and it's the one title I quote when asked if video games can be a form of art or not.

I own every game in the series, even its utter failures, and I can't wait to play this, System Shock remake and System Shock 3.

Quoting: liamdaweI am personally hoping it's at least okay, as I've been wanting to try it for a while.

To be fair, RPS' John said he recommends it despite its flaws.

THE TTimo is responsible of this??? The Linux porter of Doom 3 and Quake 4??!

Or is another Ttimo?

I just admire him. This guy has been doing an impressive job and now he's back in business, I'm elated. I can't wait to see what he's up to next.

As to why he left id software, remember it was acquired by Bethesda, which is as harsh towards Linux and FOSS as one can possibly be. Remember that they put a patent on Carmack's reverse, the one technology that allowed early 2000s computers to render Doom3's realtime shadows, which led him to code another way of doing it for open sourcing the engine, as it was a blocker. Also they are currently suing the man himself for his works on VR that they accused him of stealing, as he was allegedly working on it during his time at id.

Those guys aren't friendly at all, and I think TTimo, as the company's Linux porter and networking technician, just wasn't in a nice working environment anymore.

The problem is, some companies (not CDPR obviously, but still) complain that Linux sales aren't up to their expectations, and I tend to understand this point of view. But most of the time, just look at how they communicate on their products, and how they market them: it's a disaster.

They just can't get public attention with poor practices like those, and all this is happening far too often. I know software devs/editors can't take all the blame - look at Valve, their communication is non-existent. Buy still, no communication is way better than all this Witcher 3 mess...

Ridiculous.

Quoting: hoolapararayahoocoukSo to summarise, there may or may not be a linux version of Witcher 3, which may or may not be in development and may or may not be released sometime that may or may not be in the future?

Yep, pretty much nothing new here ;) Personally, I'm looking forward to Wine supporting it. But I wouldn't mind if some wrapper version will appear as well. Native one is highly unlikely either way.

A wrapped version would help us showing our support, though.

Well that's still no answer at all...
