Quoting: 14I'd get the GoG version and use Lutris to assist with the Wine config. Either way, you can return the game if it doesn't work I guess.

Just for the reference, you don't really need any special config besides dxvk. Everything else works out of the box with stock Wine.

Quoting: legluondunetHello,
before to buy this game, could you tell me if it is possible to play in good conditions with last Proton/Wine version? Cinematics play ok? Gamepad ok? N more glitchs or flickering?

Except you can't. If you downloaded a game from GOG, they don't have the option of the refund going back to your bank account - you instead get it in store credit.

On Steam, you can choose whether the refund goes back to your card / bank account, or the Steam wallet.

Not according to their documentation: https://support.gog.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000487189-Money-Back-Guarantee-Policy

They clearly say there it goes back to your payment source, not just to store credit.

Well, when I once tried refunding on GOG, they only offered me store credit...

You can contact their support to double check this, but it should go to your payment source surely. If I remember correctly, they offer store credits in case of regional pricing offset compensation.

Latest amdvlk finally supports VK_EXT_transform_feedback, though it's still experimental and is hidden behind environment variable switch. To enable it, do:

export AMDVLK_ENABLE_DEVELOPING_EXT='VK_EXT_transform_feedback'

dxvk finds it in result!

After last Steam update, I lost my savegame (I have to manualy copy them into a new The Witcher 3 folder) and the performance were divided by 4-5.

I didn't notice any regressions with GOG GOTY version (1.32). Kernel 5.0-rc4, Wine 4.0, latest Mesa master / llvm 9.0, dxvk master:



See if regular Wine / dxvk works for you. May be it's some problem with Proton?

Hello, everybody,

I use Linux Mint 18.3 on my PC and would like to take care of playing via Wine again. Unfortunately the beginning is (again) very difficult. Especially because there is welcome progress :)

But Wine, Dxvk, PlayonLinux,proton and Lutris; I can't get that together now. Is there a good, coherent tutorial somewhere? Best in writing?

Thank you very much, thk_ms
