Valve puts up Proton 5.13-4 to get Cyberpunk 2077 working on Linux for AMD GPUs

Quoting: YoRHa-2BThe Stadia port was done by QLOC fwiw, not by CDPR themselves.

I wonder how the hell they even made this broken mess of a game work on there. The only reason it doesn't work on Nvidia with vkd3d-proton right now is because it's so buggy that we need a Vulkan extension that works around these bugs by chance, since it more closely resembles native D3D12 behaviour than our previous implementation without that extension. It's that bad.
Interesting and it's too bad CDPR still don't have Linux developers in-house. Such big company shouldn't be cheap about it, by outsourcing their work.

By the way, I noticed the game has a blinking issue, like in the bar where lights are flickering, the whole screen filckers (i.e. periodic black frames appearing I suppose). Is that the bug in the game or vkd3d-proton problem? I can open a bug report probably.

Quoting: TriasThanks for the script again, but it's proved too difficult for me. After resolving some issues I ended with a long log that ends with
The script is made for recent Debian testing (it can work on unstable too I suppose). So it should be OK if you are using Debian. It's not guaranteed to work with other distros, you'd need to adapt it to your needs. But it gives you the idea how to do it.

And of course got a GPU hang trying to lower graphics settings.

That's interesting. Updating the game with lgogdownloader using Galaxy protocol, shows that GOG standalone installer is behind the latest version. I'm going to re-test it.

Just to give an idea how it can be done:

lgogdownloader --galaxy-platform w --galaxy-delete-orphans --subdir-galaxy-install cyberpunk_2077 --galaxy-install 1423049311

Quoting: TheRiddickI've read there was a 50gb patch, maybe you downloaded the game, they released the patch during download and you ended up needing to download another 50gb.
GOG provide static installers, and files are all the same version. Installed game is OK (60 GB), but 100 GB of the installer is puzzling. Unless they bundled the game and a patch in it, instead of just a patched game? That would be weird.

The game is still too buggy to play for too long. Definitely some vkd3d-proton bug reporting to do there. But it's a good start!

Quoting: TheRiddickThat is odd, not sure why its 104GB for you, pretty sure mines up to date, maybe what happened is you downloaded something extra?
Nothing extra, straight download from GOG. It is weird that it's so huge while the game is 60 GB. May be it's languages like above.

Testing in Wine-staging + vkd3d-proton master + Mesa master.

First in-game area (a bar):



Sometimes things glitch out in video sequences:



There are still some graphical glitches (like blinking black things and etc.). So things aren't perfect yet.

I think I know what's going on with installer size. It has all languages in it, while installed version has only the selected one, so it's smaller - just 60 GB for me. Or may be it's something else?

Quoting: TheRiddickCP2077 is 59GB when installed, witcher3 is 68GB for goty.
That's weird, because installer alone is 104 GB for me. Trying to install it in Wine now.
