Nice to see Kalypso releasing their Linux games on GOG after all. Not properly working multiplayer is probably cased by missing Galaxy libs, but it's way better than no GOG release at all caused by the same reason.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPIs there any reason to go with "official" wine instead of wine-staging? I always use the latter and never had any problems.
Not every fix in Wine staging works well for some games. Some actually make things worse.

A small note about affiliate links. It's a way for GOG to partner with various sites. If user comes to GOG through the affiliate link, GOG pays some money to the partner site. Same logic as how most ads work, except more direct. So it's a good way to give some support to GOL by simply clicking that link.

A number of sites have such arrangement, for example https://scummvm.org [External Link] (see GOG logo on the right there). So if you ever visit them, click it :)

Releasing hardware is just hard. Tons of things can go wrong and if they aren't releasing it and not telling what's going on - you can suspect they have some serious setbacks.

Not anywhere close. They aren't currently working on it.

Quoting: sr_ls_boyWhat patches are needed for witcher 3?
See the howto [External Link].

There is also a patch for invisible and distorted monsters, but it's not ready yet (causes a freeze at least with radeonsi).
