Valve puts up Proton 5.13-4 to get Cyberpunk 2077 working on Linux for AMD GPUs

Question - if I play Cyberpunk using a streaming service, can I transfer my save files once Nvidia gets its shit together?

Quoting: BasianiI just say I don't care what you care RTX, DLSS or nothing, I'm saying that paying same as Windows users and got maximum 30% than they is the action of a weak-minded person.

It's the wrong perspective because AAA Gaming on Linux is a metagame itself.

Quoting: Palanca

Quoting: WorMzyI'll wait for a native port. If the devs don't support Linux, then I don't support the devs.

And that's how you don't get Linux on the desktop.

I already have Linux on the desktop. It's all I have on my desktop. I don't get your argument.

However, by buying a game that doesn't support Linux, you are sending the message to the dev that they don't need to support Linux to get your money. Why should that dev support Linux if you're going to give them money either way?

what some of y'all don't understand, is if u don't show any support they wont waste their time, native or not toy should show support so they can see linux users are serious, but if some of y'all are like, im not buying a game cause its not native linux game, if i was a dev and i see that practice ill never make a game for linux and let y'all fight to make it work on proton without any support, but CD PR gave valve the game access to get the linux proton version run good at launch.

Ill be waiting for benchmark videos on Cyber Punk cant wait to see Windows 10 Vs Proton linux, GO GO GO

Did anyone test GOG version in Wine + vkd3d-proton?

I found vkd3d to be a poor experience in battlefield games, the framerate was all over the place while under DX11 (DXVK) it was solid 60fps or more.

Anyway playing the game under windows for a little while. Been updating all my drivers and bios, and oddly enough the bios update removed my Linux boot option?¿ no idea how that happened, guess I'll need to repair that.

The game is a massive download!

The game for me came in 3 downloads.

59GB initial download
9GB Patch 1
250MB patch 2

I wouldn't call it massive, not when COD 250GB download exist!

Well, I compare it to The Witcher 3. I don't have COD :)

Also, was that a typo? You wrote 250 GB patch...

Quoting: Avehicle7887I'm probably one of the few people not excited for this game. All thanks to those skins that require galaxy to activate (My Rewards items).

Otherwise I could forgive painfully playing this game on my 5500XT until I get rid of Nvidia in favor of the 6800XT.

There is Galaxy exclusive content in it? That's rather annoying and I don't plan to use Galaxy.

Looks like I'm also going to be testing it on 5700XT, until Sapphire Pulse 6800XT will be sold anywhere.

OK, total size of the GOG version:

The installer: 104 GB
Extras: 5.5 GB (soundtrack, artwork and etc.)

I don't see any patch files currently. Version: build_3214677change_4155897_(64bit)_(43299)

So, as I understand, we need Mesa 21.0-dev for it? Any easy way to get it? PPA or something?

(Tried to start the game with Mesa 20.3.0 - it starts, but has heavy graphical bugs).

Edit: By the way, it's 64171 Mb in Steam.

You need Mesa master, yes. I.e. latest git dev branch. Some distros package Mesa master some have third party repos. You can also build it yourself.

Here is what I use on Debian testing to build it for example. The intention is to use it without replacing system Mesa packages, with any needed game on demand.

well damn, it looks like I won't be playing it at launch then... :-( I was really hoping it would have worked on WINE/Proton regardless of GPU ... I hope eventually Nvidia drivers get updated so this will play

I suppose I could get the PS4 version, but FPSes really demand mouse+keyboard for me

Thanks. Looks heavy at the first glance, but ill try to dig in it tomorrow (it's 4:30 AM where I am).

Quoting: ShmerlYou wrote 250 GB patch...

yeah I meant MB, corrected it.

CP2077 is 59GB when installed, witcher3 is 68GB for goty.

That's weird, because installer alone is 104 GB for me. Trying to install it in Wine now.

Quoting: einherjar

Quoting: Wernergreat news, but i ordered it on stadia, since finally it started in my country, i wanted to test it anyway and because they make a nice gift, if you buy Cyberpunk, you will get the Stadia Premiere Edition for free, so the game is free :). If the game is really that good then i will buy it later when all bugs are fixed and all dlc are released on Gog :).

Hmm why not buying on Steam? I mean, who made it possible to play it on Linux?

Stadia version is using Wine? Didnt CDPR ported to Stadia

Quoting: massatt212what some of y'all don't understand, is if u don't show any support they wont waste their time, native or not toy should show support so they can see linux users are serious, but if some of y'all are like, im not buying a game cause its not native linux game, if i was a dev and i see that practice ill never make a game for linux and let y'all fight to make it work on proton without any support, but CD PR gave valve the game access to get the linux proton version run good at launch.

Just take a look on the number of people that are asking for CP2077 or Galaxy for Linux in GOG and you will see that they cannot have any doubt that a lot of Linux users shows their support but they don't give a fuck. "Keep buying so they notice us" just doesn't makes sense.

I really appreciate the work done by Steam but I cannot buy this game on release price by the simple fact that CDPR just doesn't care about Linux. Hopefully by the time I decide to buy it on Steam (with the best offer I can find) it'll work flawlessly on Linux. For now, I'll probably buy something else in order to congratulate Valve for their work.

Linux gamers *maybe* make up 2% of PC gamers. I think us Linux gamers really need to get some perspective. Developers aren't chasing that holy, non-existent grail of getting that sweet cash from a target audience of 2%. Stop the FOMO. :D Furthermore, I would never buy a game unsupported for my platform. Because this day-1 scenario really sounds like the game is unsupported for Linux. My cash is better spent elsewhere.

Stadia is a nice option.
