Is it using its own custom engine?

Quoting: Avehicle7887Update:

The Linux version is now downloadable at GOG. Haven't tested myself as it's a 30gb download and I just got home 15mins ago.

Good to know, thanks!

Wishlisted, but I'll wait for the bug fixes.

Quoting: YoRHa-2BThe game is silly and
a) creates multiple D3D11 devices
b) changes its current working directory multiple times.

The actual cache file you're looking for is in the /bin subdir, not in /bin/x64.

Also, Witcher 3 does not compile its shaders ahead of time, so you will still encounter stutters in this game (although it should be less annoying because it can now use multiple threads to do it in parallel).

Good to know, thanks. I see the one in bin, and it's around 1 MB after a brief test.

I noticed that general stutter is lower now. A lot of Ryzen cores help (DXVK reports using 12 threads for compilation):

info:  DXVK: Read 627 valid state cache entries
info:  DXVK: Using 12 compiler threads

I tested it with The Witcher 3, and somehow witcher3.dxvk-cache that was generated is just 12 bytes.

Quoting: Xicronic"Some people are saying that the Contributor Covenant is a political document, and they’re right."

That's quite dumb then. It should be an ethical document, not political one.

This is last SC-Controller release for a while. With all that mess happening around Linux this week, I've decided to move away as far as possible.

What does that even mean? And what about using upstream kernel driver for the controller?

Requiring a code of conduct is not a political movement. It's simply keeping jerks in check. Which should be a requirement for any remotely big and professional project.

I got the GOG key (with help from inXile support, since CrowdOx didn't send anything to me), but the Linux version isn't there as was already expected. Also all digital extras aren't going to be available on GOG but through CrowdOx which is quite annoying.

Quoting: BeamboomBut writing a proper, good review is really quite hard.

We are looking for different things in reviews then. You are looking for professional critic style review, while I'm looking for experience of players and their opinions on it. Players on average spend more time than reviewers actually playing and therefore ironically have more data to form an informed opinion despite not being professional critics.

Quoting: BeamboomThat's extremely conspiratorial.

Not really, it's simply my experience that I don't like most of the professional reviews. Reasons for that are really secondary, above is just one of the possible ones. And surely there can be very good reviews from such sites, and I enjoy reading them sometimes. But I'd rather use my time to collect information about games from other gamers, it gives me higher quality yield.

Quoting: BeamboomOf course good professional reviews exist, and trustworthy sources exist. They depend on it. It's the small sites, on the verge of becoming popular, that's the sources to be weary of.

That's not really how it works. You can apply same to all journalism in general. Does it mean you blindly trust big media because "they depend on it"? I wouldn't in the least.
