Quoting: JudasIscariotSweet! I won't need to switch to my Win10 machine to play this game without needing to tweak a million things :D

I hope GOG release is planned?

Looks like they are testing with Mesa after all (or will be testing?). See here [External Link].

I'm still kind of surprised that if they had issues with it, why didn't they file any bugs?

Quoting: robvvTried Shadow Warrior 2 recently on Wine, but whilst it runs quite smoothly there are still no floors!

What Wine did you use?

I contacted the developers on Kickstarter about Mesa situation, not sure if they'll reply.

Quoting: ZapporI wonder which AMD driver they tested with.

Someone asked them explicitly if they tested with Mesa [External Link], and they responded very ambiguously:

Q: Did you also tested it with the MESA driver on an AMD card? Would be nice to here how it works there.

A: Yes, we tested on AMD as well.

I have a feeling they aren't familiar with Linux drivers landscape.

Quoting: MayeulCI was wondering the same. I certainly hope that they are testing against the open one, as it's generally better and more compliant, in addition to the other benefits.

See above. There are no bugs that mention Everspace filed for Mesa. I suspect users will have to do it for them. I wonder if they even contacted Mesa developers at all about it.

I'll try reaching out to the studio through Kickstarter, may be they'll clarify what's going on.

Great! Did they file bugs to Mesa? I'd like to see what actually is wrong before buying it.

UPDATE: Weirdly, I can't find anything by searching Everspace on the Mesa bug tracker. So how do they expect these issues to be resolved, if they never even field any bugs?

Quoting: legluondunetThe new POL is written in JAVA

Poor choice for UI I think.

Quoting: legluondunetPOL (PlayOnLinux) is far from a dead project:

Ah, good to know that something is going on still. But I thought they were using Qt? This one is using Java (quite upsetting).

Speaking of regressions, after switching to Ryzen CPU (8 cores), The Saboteur stopped working for me and I assumed first it's some Wine regression. But apparently the game itself is buggy, it's broken on CPUs with more than 4 cores. Luckily, jackfuste from WSGF figured out a way to modify the game binary to work around that.

For GOG version, you can do this [External Link]:

echo "9f56d0: eb" | xxd -r - Saboteur.exe
