Well at least their doing something, MEANWHILE back at CDPR they still haven't released even a beta of the GOG Galaxy to Linux users... Which is like giving them the slow windup middle finger if you ask me, given the demand for it is the highest requested vote on their forum!

They must have put some real effort into the game to make those few square polygons choke a system down...

It took a game like this to finally add in the minigun as a weapon for defense. LOL

With my FuryX and Warthunder and mesa17.2dev glthread causes the game to crash on launch, however there are people with other cards reporting it works. I will need to check again since last time I tried was a month ago, unlikely much has changed. Might be specific to AMDGPU, perhaps other people were using radeonsi which would explain things.

They were meant to release dx12 then Vulkan update for the title LONG time ago, its unknown why they have continued to delay it since they refuse to communicate with the open source community or community in general about specific issues.

I'd say their ready to shelf this title, seen this happen before were a company releases their game to retail market broken and then just moves on to another title.

Sadly this developer is going to use this as evidence why not to develop for Linux, even thought it's their fault for putting %99.9 of their team and effort into content and not actual engine saving patches and fixes along with perf updates...People may come for the content but they stay for the gameplay which largely involves engine improvements.

Unfortunately these extreme haters won't ever leave the gaming community, developers must accept that they are the loudest ones and just ignore them. They are not representative of the community as a whole.

In saying that if they added in VulkanAPI support to their Witcher3 game then it would make for a rather smooth transition to Linux, and allowing for windows users to enjoy the benefits also. Trying to convert DX11 to OGL IMO never seems to yield very good results.

do you still need CSMT=1 if your using GalliumWine version?

I would be more inclined to buy stuff on GOG if they hurry up and release GOG Galaxy for Linux, makes it hard to keep titles up to date when you gotta go through 100 menus on their website, and often download a FULL sized SH instead of smaller update files.

Being cool is not enough to make a game of this caliber, sadly. Expect feature trimming to the point that it becomes a 2d side-scroller :/

There is more reasons to not support 32bit further then 'just because its old'. Imagine for a second if you had to support DX9,DX11,DX12 API for your game, for a simpleton that may seem fine, but for a developer it means effectively writing their game 3x for 3 different systems. Same is said with 32bit and 64bit, if you want newer applications then you should be expected to move to a newer platform to support it, because its a major hassle to downgrade code to run on a lesser environment!
