Just for the reference, Humble version is DRM-free (many Humble releases are not, these days). I bought it there.

GOG installer is still broken. Really bad support from them this time. Hopefully they'll fix it today.

Helps to run Linux guests with accelerated desktop instead of falling back to llvmpipe.

Some brought up the issue of "director's cut" causing a major graphics downgrade to the game, comparing with the earlier version:

From inXile (posted around 2 hours ago, so subtract 2):

Latest update for GOG Mac/Linux with due apologies. I do want to note that a number of GOG staff have been very helpful, staying late/arriving early to facilitate these issues, and likewise we've been working with them to figure out these issues. Still, as incredibly frustrating as this is for us, we imagine it's that much worse for you. We're continuing to work the issue. Here's the latest:

- Mac should hopefully be within 2-3 hours

- Linux requires certain GOG personal that aren't currently in-office, and we're looking at being around 5-6 hours out on that.
Looks like Linux team in GOG is now seriously understaffed.

Quoting: TheRiddickDid they enable Vulkan API support (its been in Unity since 2018) ?
They are using Unreal Engine. I'm still waiting for GOG release, so can't say if they are using Vulkan, but Unreal now enables it by default for all Linux releases.

Waiting for GOG release too, as a backer. Apparently they also missed adding FLAC soundtrack to GOG version, and are working on fixing that as well.

And you can probably drop distro bitness question from the periodic survey. 32-bit is basically gone.

You can note Ubuntu and Mint taking a dip around the 32-bit dropping story, and Manjaro rising up.
