i thought to try it out and i can see the file and the main page but when i try to download it doesn't:

The page isn’t redirecting properly

An error occurred during a connection to drive.google.com.

This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.

now what :dizzy:
I've uploaded the file elsewhere, could you try it? https://ufile.io/3f9vnbyl [External Link]

Quoting: Linuxermaybe you could send it to the developer? and he could add it to the github and we would all just easily download it and get to play dark forces already

@Avehicle7887
Besides not being very familiar with github (I only know a few basic stuff), I don't wish get involved.

If you manage to download the package and run into further issues let me know though :smile:

Here's a portable pre-compiled binary of the latest version. I tried to include all the important dependencies however you may still require to install some of them for your distro. You can run the "depcheck.sh" file, it will print all the libraries the game is still missing.

Game files are not included of course.

I'm ashamed to say that as a 90's kid I only had ever played the first level back in the day, I guess I wasn't a big Star Wars fan. The game looks amazing at high resolution, I've been playing it for several hours and thoroughly enjoying it.

Supports ultrawide too :grin:

Recently even dxvk and vkd3d-proton had some HDR related commits. Glad it's finally coming together.

Has anyone tried the game again with yesterday's hotfix?

Quoting: ShmerlPerformance experience with DX12 version is really bad. DX11 one works well.
Just gave it a shot with the newly released vkd3d-proton 2.8, game loads fine however fps is very unstable compared to dx11.

I'd say right now the only reason to use the DX12 version is to enable FSR2.

Here's how to get The Witcher 3 working on Steam Deck after the next-gen update

For non steam-deck users you can also run the DX11 exe directly located in "game_folder/bin/x64/witcher3.exe".

Meanwhile the DX12 exe is located in "game_folder/bin/x64_dx12/witcher3.exe".

Looks nice, would play if it didn't require you to install Steam to download it.
