Spoiled with choice? Choice and branching are always enhancing adventures and RPGs. Of course it's quite an effort to implement.

Anyway, I'll buy the game when they'll release it on GOG. It's somewhat annoying that they treat GOG users as second class citizens.

Many libraries in GPUopen are tied to DX11 now. Rewriting them to Vulkan will be a huge effort (which no one so far even announced), so it will be a long time until they'll become useful on Linux.

Quoting: Ivancillo

Quoting: ShmerlIt shouldn't. CDPR aren't WB.

Sadly they'll do the same way they did with W2 : by VP port.

Well, at least they'll do.

I strongly doubt it. VP were porting their OS X wrapper for TW2 which they already had to Linux. TW3 port is a from scratch one, so there is no need for them to do such a thing. Besides, they need to bring their current engine to Linux, and wrapper doesn't serve that purpose.

Quoting: BeamboomI can live with that - never was a Batman fan.

Now, let's just hope the same doesn't happen with the promised Witcher 3...

It shouldn't. CDPR aren't WB.

I'm enjoying the game too (and I'm a backer). There is some Loom inspiration in there :) About Alt+Tab bug, see

On a side note, if you are interested in classic RPGs, take a look at this project:

I don't find playing alpha or beta versions of story intensive games like RPGs to be a good idea. It's spoilery and ruins the final experience which is likely to be different form the pre-release version. So not a big deal. Wait for the release and enjoy the game then.

Quoting: Comandante oardo

Quoting: hummer010The game is coming to GOG too - hopefully the Linux version shows up there as well.

It seems that the Linux version of this game is an SteamOS exclusive... Like the linux version of both Metro Redux.

Did they explain why?

Quoting: GuestThere may be multiple queues with today's hardware (one for graphics, one or two for compute, one for DMA transfers), but it's important to remember that command buffer creation is not command buffer submission.

And Vulkan can address using multiple queues in parallel as well, while OpenGL can't if I understood correctly. Can't there be more than one queue for graphics? Even if single GPU wouldn't have it, multi-GPU scenario for sure would. And Vulkan address it as well.
