Hm, it doesn't show up in the Wine run though. I guess something is still missing.

Hm, for some reason code tag here messes up whitespace.

Congrats to everyone involved! Time to play The Witcher 3 now. I wouldn't use hairworks in TW3 though, it's known to have hardware acceleration only on Nvidia, so save your CPU cycles for other things.

Quoting: StrangerWe've just released on itch.io too [External Link], per popular request !
Great, thanks for providing such option! Do you think GOG release is likely, or they are still undecided? I'm tempted to buy it on itch now, but I'd prefer GOG if it will eventually happen.

Is the game good in general as an RPG? I didn't buy it yet.

In my experience, MS becomes "good" only when they start losing grip on that market.

Most importantly, the non-aggression pact only applies to the upstream versions of software, including Linux itself. [...] While we at Conservancy were successful in getting the code that implements exfat for Linux released under GPL (by Samsung), that code has not been upstreamed into Linux. So, Microsoft has not included any patents they might hold on exfat into the patent non-aggression pact.
Heh, so here we go. MS is for patent disarmament, but not really.
