Quoting: INSOMNIA_The_ArkHey people! Thanks for covering the news here. Will be happy to answer your questions :).

Hi, and thanks for visiting GamingOnLinux! Did you get some confirmation from GOG, that they are interested in your game? I backed the project after you announced DRM-free Linux version plans :)

Quoting: gojulThe Witcher 3 GOTY works like a charm w/ this release (except a bit of lag from time to time but not that much) ! Thanks to them for all this hard work !

I tested it with wined3d. Far from like a charm - performance is still horrible. Wine developers are still working on this (efficient buffer mapping), but it's not ready.

Quoting: qptain NemoAny water or monster rendering issues you can see?

These were solved with wined3d a long time ago already. Only dxvk still needs work for some of that.

Do you get a good performance with wined3d now?

I'm a backer and I hope DRM-free release is coming as they promised. In their recent updates they were talking only about Steam.

Quoting: PhiladelphusSteam got an official version of the patch…a week or two ago?

That's quite a delay then. I'll ask around.

Quoting: ArehandoroA bit late maybe, but has someone tried the game now that the patch is official?

Is it official? The last update on GOG is Patch 1.4.4.f (07 September 2017). I thought their patches were still beta and they didn't release them yet.

Quoting: GuestI'm confused - what are people arguing about?

I'm really not sure. Above some didn't like the idea that open development is a better model, and tried bringing counter examples, which weren't even to the point.

Quoting: nitroflowThat trailer doesn't seem any better then SotA quality though...

You can't really see any performance metrics there, so it's hard to say. I wonder if they'll use Vulkan with Unity for it.

I didn't back it, but reports of poor quality are upsetting. Meanwhile, another Ultima related game - Underworld Ascendant by OtherSide is supposedly progressing well: https://otherside-e.com/wp/update-aelita-the-abyss-and-more/
