Nice, THQ Nordic is one of the Linux friendly publishers who also release DRM-free on GOG, so that would be a welcome addition.

Good progress! Would be nice to play The Witcher, Knights of the Old Republic and Dragon Age Origins using a native engine, but I suppose it's all quite far away still :)

It's good to see an RPG project crowdfunding succeeding, unlike one for Project Resurgence [External Link] which was promising too, but failed financially.

Looks good and if they'll release it DRM-free, I'm interested.

UPDATE:

Their Kickstarter FAQ mentions GOG indirectly:

Where do I choose Steam, GoG or game portal download?

You will get an e-mail with a link to the Pathfinder: Kingmaker backer portal when the campaign is over. On the site, you will be able to confirm your pledge and choose on which platform you would like to get Pathfinder: Kingmaker.

DXVK for Vulkan-based D3D11 in Wine version 0.61 is out with improved performance

Just tried Elex with Mesa compiled against nightly llvm. No hangs anymore, but cutscenes are still choppy (probably shaders compilation delay?).

Quoting: ziabiceSeems the same behavior that Elex had around version 0.50 of dxvk. Out of curiosity, have you tried to run the game in a virtual desktop?
Not yet. I've just built Mesa with llvm development branch (latest nightly), so I'll check if that helps.

Quoting: pete910Whats ya steam name? I'll gift you a copy!
I'm not using Steam. No worries, it might end up on GOG eventually. Or not :) I wonder if such compat profile issues are the reason it's not there.

Quoting: pete910Does Dying Light work for you ?
I don't have the game, they never released Linux version on GOG.
