I think this is the calm before the storm, while I can understand Windows-only being supported at launch, I disagree with the "see how the reception is before looking at other stores" and I'm really looking at GOG users here, they shouldn't be left out just because they bought the game on a different store (regardless of OS).

I guess time will tell.

Ran a few tests on my end, no luck so far on these titles:

Shadow Warrior 2 - Since Wine 5.5 the game started displaying an error at launch and then goes to the main menu as normally.
Darksiders 3 - Starting a new video, only sound can be heard no video - file format is MP4.
Outward - Intro video doesn't play confirmed MFplat related from game's log error (WindowsVideoMedia error 0x80004001 while reading C:/OW/Outward_Data/sharedassets0.resource).

This release fixes the intro video in Grim Dawn where it was playing only the first frame and had to be skipped.

Quoting: massatt212Who is working on MediaFoundation so we dont have to use MFplat anymore ?

The Wine github page often gets commits related to mf and mfplat.

Quoting: NezchanMany thanks, although I'm getting a file not found error when I try to download.

Should work now, Link fixed.

Quoting: NezchanCan't get the game to run. Apparently it relies on an old version of libcrypto (or libssl?) that I don't have.

It relies on SSL 1.0.0 apparently, got the same issue. Will try to wrap up a quick patch for you :)

EDIT:

This should do the trick, just drop the files in the game's folder (where GOG's own 'start.sh' file is): http://jrugia.com/files/Mable_SSL_1.0.0_Patch.tar.gz [External Link]

Compiled from libssl source 1.0.0s.

I wonder if Nvidia (or the person taking care of project) will enable this kind of support for Q2RTX. Because as it currently stands, the game runs on non RTX Cards such as the GTX 1060 at about 7fps but as soon as you try to run it with an AMD card it throws an error that "No Ray Tracing hardware found" which is kinda ironic since neither the 1060 has any RT features.

No GOG Galaxy? Not so much of a problem right now with handy open source apps

Unfortunately it's still quite a big problem. Open Source alternatives may make the UI similar, let you download, install and manage your games. But the lack of a proper API is wreaking havoc all over the place.

- Multiple games missing multiplayer (Stardew Valley being the only exception so far).

- Evil Empire (Dead Cells developer) issues regarding their DLC on GOG: https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/f596kw/were_the_dead_cells_devs_weve_just_released_our/fhxhovf/ [External Link] - They managed to resolve it in their own way (as every dev should initially do).

- Some games missing the Linux build entirely due to lack of Galaxy.

----------

Technically all of this can be avoided if the devs implement those features in an agnostic way without depending on Client X or Y.

It would be unwise of Blizzard to try and interfere with this project. First and foremost the devs are not making any profit, the engine itself still requires a purchased copy of the game, money which goes to Blizzard, and it's basically free cross platform support at someone else's time and expense.

I was initially let down seeing no Linux release for this game. But this changes everything, looking forward to the stable release :)
