Quoting: etonbearsIf that is the case, the management team would be in a strong position to do what they want. Keeping the share price strong and stable would be in their own interests as well, of course.

Then I'm not sure what problem they had with Linux release. Or was it expected to mess up their stock prices?

No, this update came out a few days ago.

Quoting: rkfgSo, for you the game viewport occupies the whole screen without black bars on top/bottom? 1920x1200 is not a very popular resolutions and when these issues happen it's hard to find confirmations.

I'll take a closer look later today and will post a screenshot.

Quoting: rkfgDo you also have a non-redrawing bar at the bottom of the screen? After some fullscreen effects I have red lines there that just sit below the screen forever (until I restart the game, that is).

I didn't notice this issue. Feel free to add your comment here: https://www.gog.com/forum/ruiner/linux_version [External Link]

I think this discussion is quite pointless, when CDPR have such abysmal communication and can't even explain to the community what the problem is and what can be improved to fix it. Such kind of distancing is not conductive for any dialog, and simply looks like stonewalling.

Quoting: Avehicle7887I wonder if they added the missing graphic effects in the Linux version.

Were they missing? I didn't really notice. But I didn't compare either.

Quoting: GuestUltimately the damage is now done. It is very unlikely CDPR will change their minds at this point.

Their management doesn't make decisions anymore. At least they can't uphold them. I suspect their shareholders run the shots there now.

I've been playing this update, and besides some garbled colors in the opening screen at 16:10 resolution, I didn't encounter any problems.

What track is playing in the tunnel sequence by the way (one in tunel-full.bik?). I don't think it's included in the OST.

Quoting: slaapliedjeI guess if you look at it in the way that you can't just (currently) stick your own software on an SD Card and run it on the switch, that it is DRM. But the same could (loosely) be argued about being able to take a piece of windows software and put it into a Linux system, and not be able to run it

Well, not exactly. It's one thing that you can't run one architecture on another, or PE binary on Linux (or ELF on Windows) without some hacks / translation / emulation. That's just technical incompatibilities and it's not DRM indeed. It's quite another thing when they lock the bootloader which prevents you from installing another OS on the device. That's surely DRM in my view.

Quoting: slaapliedjeIs this DRM though?

According to mobile operators it is. They also used to lock devices that prevented users from switching to competing networks. You can argue it's not DRM, but they actually threatened those who tried to break that with anti-circumvention. That's why DRM has nothing to do with rights. It's quite proper to call it Digital Restrictions Management, it's exactly what it's used for - to restrict the user.

In case of Switch and most incumbent consoles - they have tons of such restrictions.
