Quoting: Anonymous"if you're lucky it will run nice, if not... you're screwed"

For what it's worth, I never expected my old Athlon 64 X2 6000+ with 4GB RAM and a GeForce GT 630 to run Witcher 2 smoothly.

With all options dialed down, it is barely playable, though, at least the tutorial. I seem to be getting about 20 FPS (maybe a bit lower, I have high tolerance for low FPS). It dips down to annoyingly low during the Geralt close-up while speaking to the soldier/knight person. And when the mage appeared during the final arena battle, I died because my system needed several seconds per frame. Interestingly enough, the mage before the final battle didn't provoke that.

Quoting: ShmerlI'm not aware of any wrappers which can translate DX11 into OpenGL 4 at the moment.

I expect they will have a fallback renderer based on an older DirectX version, and that one will be used when wrapped through eON.

Quoting: Shmerlmaking an inferior support for Linux is not in their interest at all.

I think they made quite clear that having proper Linux support is not in their interest at all. Not "financially feasible" and all that jazz. Which was uttered by both GOG and CD Projekt RED people alike.

One of the reasons I'm still sceptical about GOG's Linux plans. I still half expected them to even do stupid things like wrapping a Windows build of ScummVM in Wine or something like that.

Yes, I am that cynical, thank you very much.

Quoting: SirBubblesperhaps restrain their emotions just a tad where Eon is concerned

I reject the whole idea of eON, out of principle. Even if all games would run smoothly and rainbows would fart out of my monitor, I'd still reject it. I only barely tolerate Unity's Mono stuff or games using Adobe AIR.

Quoting: SirBubblesAt lease CDProjekt did a better job with porting Witcher 2 to linux

They didn't. The eON people did.

CD Projekt RED don't give a rat's arse. They didn't even have a community person in the Steam forums. No, instead someone from Virtual Programming came in there on his own time. That alone tells you a lot.

CD Projekt RED don't get credit from me for throwing the game at Virtual Programming and then running away.

Quoting: earthmoverW3 comes out on PS4 so they already have OpenGL version.

I may be talking more bullshit than usual here, but weren't there news reports about how the PS4 does DirectX? Not that I have any idea about consoles at all.

Quoting: GoCorinthiansBuy a decent PC

Yes, yes, I'm sure you'd like to give us each $3000 for a system with an i7-5960X and a Titan.

Quoting: BillNyeTheBlackGuyCan I have access to your time machine please? :p

Unfortunately, the Temporal Accord forbids that.

Quoting: killxdenif you want to help improve it for future eON ports

I'd rather hang myself.
Not even if the wrapper was FLOSS. Not even if it was FLOSS and they'd pay me.

No way this is going to be a proper port. And, like I said, I'm willing to bet 10€.

In either case, I'm not really that much into the Witcher series. I just can't stand Geralt. Cyberpunk 2077, however...

Quoting: earthmoverWitcher 3 for Linux!

10€ say it won't be native.

Quoting: loggfreakhow do you add it to the list?

Yes, of course you can add it yourself. But you wouldn't have discovered that GamingOnLinux offers SSL with it.

You can't expect people to try that for every single website they visit. :)

HTTPS Everywhere doesn't have GamingOnLinux in its list.
