It is fluent, and there is no lag. It doesn't mean much - that render doesn't seem intensive. And starting the game fails anyway with many d3d11 functions missing.

Yeah, I made that screenshot before applying patches.

And I just realized that I'm running it without latest patches again, so may be staging doesn't include heap fix after all.

All those intro logos / sword animation are missing. It goes straight into the main menu. It looks different, but I suppose it's because PS4 version has different art. Also, main menu has more options. After starting the new game, it hangs. Lot's of functions are missing implementation here:

Such as:

d3d11_immediate_context_CSSetConstantBuffers
d3d11_immediate_context_CSSetShader
d3d11_immediate_context_CSSetShaderResources
d3d11_immediate_context_CSSetUnorderedAccessViews
d3d11_immediate_context_Dispatch
d3d11_immediate_context_DSSetConstantBuffers
d3d11_immediate_context_HSSetConstantBuffers

We Happy Few to release on Linux after the full release, not during Early Access

Just don't expect it to be Bioshock Infinite. It's not (in many ways).

FYI: Wine 1.9.18-staging already includes the patch for bigger size of virtual heap, and you can get up until the main menu.

They retracted the statement that it wasn't planned. GOG rep who said that wasn't correct.

They said in the past, that Linux version during development was possible, but not guaranteed. So I don't see major news here. I'm looking forward to the release however since I'm one of the backers (backed them when they announced plans for Linux towards the end of their campaign).

Quoting: Guestbut somehow I feel the chances of that are extremely slim since we've heard them say before that they have no plans to support linux in witcher 3)
They said exactly the opposite actually (that they planned to make it for Linux), but they never managed to fulfill those plans so far.
