All these years of waiting for Shadow Warrior 2 to either get a Linux port or get released at high discount.

I had been willing to pay full price for it, were it on Linux. Very very keen on it, and back in the day, when released it was mentioned that they intended to put out a Linux version.

Well, I've now picked it up for free on GOG as part of their 10th Anniversary celebrations.

Looks like I'll try it out with WINE (or dual-boot to Windows, duh) at some point in the near future.

Also some decent sale items on at GOG right now, too.

Hmmm... I was hoping for Firewatch to win.

Well Firewatch is on GOG right now at 75% Discount.

One could possibly pay the developers as it is a Linux title =P

Does galaxy work well in wine? It's required for multiplayer.

I'll be making a Wine/Proton wrapper for it, assuming that I can get it working well enough :)

Just got it. Does multiplayer work for it in Wine (without Galaxy)?

I was testing Kubuntu 18.10 the other day on usb and i saw Galaxy Client in the Discover Software manager as a snap app, i did not test it tough.

GOG should really consider bundling old games with Proton like your wrappers, that would be amazing. Perhaps they should port Galaxy to Linux and implement Proton with it like Steam.

Isn't Proton Steam specific (like relying on Steam libs and such?). They should just use Wine+dxvk/esync and whatever other independent add-ons Proton is using, without Steam stuff.

They don't need Galaxy to use it. They already have Wine bundled releases like Flatout 2. Nothing stops GOG from using Wine+addons for newer games. Except their general rather lax attitude towards Linux releases.

A wrapper for Shadow Warrior 2 is now available :)

Proton doesn't depend on Steam, although it does have some slightly different behavior; I've been working on adding support for it to my wrappers over the past few days or so. AFAIK there's nowhere that offers conveniently packaged builds of Proton, so currently I'm just using the builds provided by Steam (which I'll probably end up having to repack & upload to my dropbox for use by my wrappers).

I thought it has some SteamVR related patches, so that sounds like Steam specific to me.
