Darn it, no Bitcoin support there. Back to IndieGala and SteamBitShop for me.

Nice. I'm going to start pre-loading this as soon as I get home from work.

Dammit. I gave up on this and recently brought the PS4 version. :(

I pre-ordered it already, so hope my GTX660M can manage. The previous XCOM game ran fine, and it's turn-based... how much GPU power could it possibly need? :)

I finished Tomb Raider 2013 back in Jan 2014 under Wine. I wish they would focus on porting games that *don't* work great under Wine, like the new Tomb Raider. :(

The code worked for me. Thanks!

I brought the game, but my graphics card doesn't run it well enough for the game to really be playable, so I'm holding off playing it until I get an upgrade (hopefully soon). Really looking forward to it.

Quoting: sigz

Quoting: wojtek88(while on DIRT Showdown cars don't have wheels, and VP is unable to fix it) and it does not crash (while DIRT Showdown crashes from time to time).

Never got such bugs, dirt showdown is very stable.

Same, it runs pretty good for me. I can crash the game in the menu if I select the wrong option after a race (the option related to posting a challenge to a friend maybe) and then quickly hit the escape button - instant crash. But otherwise it's been quite stable and I haven't seen missing wheels or anything.

Having said that, it's only playable on my GTX 660M (at 2560x1440) at minimum detail settings, so lots of things are already missing (such as the crowds). If I add extra detail, it's just too slow. That might be why I haven't seen any problems with it.

Quoting: wojtek88To be honest - Good support of DX11 in Wine is much better for all the Linux gamers than Witcher 3 port. Why? Because if it's good you can play Witcher 3 and all other DX11 games. Of course it won't be as good as native gaming, but some of the games works on Wine better than ports.
I guess all of you remember first version of Witcher 2 port. It was just running better on Wine with CMST than nativly. For many gamers it is still true.

Let's not forget Killing Floor. KF1 has game modes that are unplayable using the GNU/Linux port, but run perfectly fine under Wine.

Quoting: wojtek88Yet another example is DIRT 3 Complete Edition. It does not have Linux port, but DIRT Showdown looks and behaves similar (I bet it uses same engine, but I can be wrong). Anyway DIRT 3 (through wine) works much better than DIRT Showdown (which is native). DIRT 3 works better performance wise, it does not contain bugs (while on DIRT Showdown cars don't have wheels, and VP is unable to fix it) and it does not crash (while DIRT Showdown crashes from time to time).

Well to be fair, DIRT 3 originally had issues with GFWL. When the Complete Edition came out that solved those headaches, they also introduced a soft dependency on DirectX11. You need to manually disable d3d11-related libraries in winecfg or it doesn't run at all. Not exactly a shining example of Wine... but at least you can get it running, which is the most important thing.

Quoting: wojtek88What I want to say is, assuming that you have no problem with playing on Wine, you will have more titles available when Wine with DX11 support is out. If You have Witcher 3 port, you can just play this game, and you have no guarantee that

Agreed. In the short term, getting those big DirectX-based AAA titles that may never have a GNU/Linux port (and certainly never have a port with performance on par to Windows anyway) running is the most desirable thing - at least from the standpoint of the power user.

Even just from the standpoint of someone who is sick of missing out on day one releases... on many occasions I have finished games like Spec Ops: The Line, Dead Island: Riptide and Outlast back around launch thanks to Wine - before a GNU/Linux version was even announced. There's the rumour that Dishonored might be coming to GNU/Linux, but I finished that under Wine back in Jan last year. I'd much rather good Wine compatibility than titles that perform slow and required waiting an extra two years for!

Quoting: KallestofelesLet's hope that there will even be a Witcher3 linux release... no news from CDPR about this whatsoever. :(

Or a GNU/Linux Galaxy client. They've said "coming soon" for well over a year - a blatant lie.

Quoting: Apopas

Quoting: boltronicsQuite a few hours worth of playtime for the price.

Is not cheap though. 14.47€ for the first one and 19.30€ for the second.

I got AoF2 in a Humble Bundle and AoF1 on sale.
