okay. just watched one of the videos on the game's store page. According to that video, you can smash an entire friggin asteroid into a planet! Remember the Gauls from 'Asterix and Obelix' always fearing that the sky will/might crush them? Yeah, turns out it can...

AMD released the new Catalyst drivers to fix game performance yesterday (on day one!), but I haven't tried it.

I just upgraded to an AMD FX 8320 (8 cores) with a GTX460. It runs decent enough, but a native version would be much better. Sadly, I don't think they will make a native version. :(

Well.
I didn't expect CDPR to release this game on Linux.
So, even if it is not native, I thank them.
It's comprehensive that they didn't release a full port of an old game given the resources they have , the titanic task that reprogram a legacy hard tailored D3D application is and the lack of time they have now with The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2070.
But ... it would be not so good if they repeat this with W3 and CP 2070.
No. If they really want to support Linux, the best thing they should do is make a native RED Engine 3 port to OpenGL / Linux, even if it mean a release delay.

Unfortunately it was the same with Metro:LL support. I experienced it myself and just replied with a quite... abrupt answer :p
Anyway, do you think we can lie on that point? :p

The performance on Windows was already bad and my PC is slightly old. Hope they solve the issues soon.

I guess I'll pick up Metro 2033 Redux so I can at last play that title, but I probably won't be buying Last Light as I'm barely playing the current release of it due to all the crashing.

I bought the Steam version to reward CDPR bringing it to Linux (already had the game on GOG), but its performance is significantly worse than running the Windows version in CrossOver :/ Given its age I don't really mind that they've used a wrapper, but I was expecting it to at least match Wine in performance and stability.
BTW if anyone didn't know this already you can use the key that Steam gives you to get a DRM-free copy of the game on GOG (Windows & Mac only for now, but GOG will be introducing Linux support later this year): http://www.gog.com/witcher/backup

Works fine for me, running in high settings (haven't tried ultra and don't really care) on a four-year-old system using a current mid-range graphics card. Had one crash that wasn't repeated when I replayed the same area, that's it.
I don't give a damn if it's a native port or a wrapper or whatever, so long as it works and as far as I can see it works. So I'm perfectly happy with it. To be honest, I've had a lot more problems getting stuff like Secrets of Raetikon or even Kentucky Route Zero to run well under Linux than this game.

Indeed. I've been subscribed the github repo for a while now, and instead of calming down, as you would expect in the lead up to a big release, it seems to be accelerating!

I was rather suprised how well it worked on my system.
i don't have a really powerfull system atm so I suspected that I would have real problems running it even in the lowest setting.
I could just be lucky though. :D

I don't own either game but I would much rather pay full price for these games than buy them at 80% off and get a crappy, crappy port like with The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings.

Quoting: SabunIf they do end up releasing a port, and it's well done (actually professional, and not a money grab), they may have my respect and money then. Time will tell though.I don't care whether it's a brand new game or not as long as it makes its way to Linux in a native state and works like it should. I would much rather pay full price for The Witcher 2 than have a 4$ discount and a crappy, crappy port. As the fiasco with The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings indicates, I would much rather pay full price than buy it at 80% off and get a crappy, crappy port.
I'm really only likely to buy it once it's on sale now though (that feeling of brand new is gone since they took so long).

Quoting: liamdaweI would have if I felt it was needed, but it's just an RTS game with quite basic mechanics too. You build buildings, then units, then fight.

May I suggest to park the mouse pointer on items with tooltips more often in the gameplay video or/and to to add captions to explain what is happening in the game? Considering that there is no commentary I gave up looking at the video after few minutes since I had no idea what you where doing. Thanks!

Had no more crash problems on Metro since nvidia 33x series... did an entire playthrough on Ranger mode, seems like I'm lucky.
I first finished the game with the crashes at the time, though.
