Quoting: Duke TakeshiActually, we have figured out so many hints pointing towards Hellblade in this thread, that it is not super unlikely it could be the teased game. Anyway, are Feral giving out their "solutions" for the riddle after the announcement of the actual title?

The last piece of hint is pretty awesome, but is Ninja Theory Linux friendly? Liam might be in a better position to answer that. From an outisder's point of view, it's hard to tell. It seems to be a small studio, on Steam at least, with about 3 games + DLCs (am I wrong?). None of them are on Linux yet. Maybe it's about to change though?

Still, as of late, it's all about Square Enix, Sega, Codemasters and Warhammer 40K universe titles that are being ported to Linux by Feral... If it's Hellblade, I'll drink to that. :)

Did anyone mention Warhammer 40k, Inquisitor-Martyr? I have no clues to back my saying, but knowing the relationship between the Warhammer 40k universe and Linux... :)

Am I missing something? That's just Paradise Lost, we knew that already.

I still don't see the connection from Paradise Lost to Dark Souls.

Don't know if that could be the link...

Bloodborne is a "spiritual brother" to Dark Souls, from what I hear. In fact it seems it's in the same universe, but I never played. It's just comments I heard from players I know.

Edit: Found many other sources that makes the connection between Dark Souls, Bloodborne and Paradise Lost. "Dark Souls is a metaphor of life. Like a video game version of Paradise Lost." Along those lines...

I thought Bloodborne was exclusive to the Playstation.
Has this changed ?

It's an exclusive -- also the linked reddit post hardly documents a tangible connection. It's one person's association of a single phrase from Milton, with a theme in Bloodborne. It's sort of like finding a reference to 'ears', and 'hearing' in a poem, and concluding that the writers of Star Trek TNG must have had that poem as an inspiration in creating the Ferengi.

So nothing to see. I was hoping someone would build on top of that with other hints but it feels more like a dead end.

I think you are right, but Bloodborne and Dark Souls have a lot in common. That was my point. If I had to bet, I'd bet on Dark Souls, but I do not have much hope about it. Seems too good to be true.

I have no clue but it makes me think of Darksiders II... Maybe?

Mmmm... I guess it will work on Nvidia Shield then? Roku would be nice too.

I've been able to install and make Steam's Witcher 3 start following cRaZy-bisCuiT's how-to, with Wine 3.7.

In fact I copied the game folder of my Windows install to my wine prefix. This said, it's really laggy and slow. Better than stock Wine but not really playable. It's far from the Windows version with the same hardware (i7-3770, GTX 960, Nvidia 396.18). Any clue what might be wrong?

Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiTThere is a Lutris script, for example for Battlefield 4.


On the other hand I don't get why people claim it's hard to install DXVK. It's actually, as mentioned before, pretty easy. Create a Wine Prefix and either install DXVK via script in that or just copy over the two DLLs. Nothing hard about that.

You just can't say that's easy. For any average Windows user for whom everything has always been just a double click away this can be a show stopper. Even for me that's not easy, I consider myself an advanced user as I used to handle Windows very well and have managed to game on Linux for more than 2 years now.

But when you say "create a Wine Prefix" I know that will require me to search the Web to find out how to do it, it'll most likely take me half an hour or more to understand and do that. Then I'll have to install DXVK via script, which again is not easier than a double click, and then again copy 2 DLLs and put them in a probably hidden folder.

Maybe you're in there for so long that you don't see why people claim some things are hard to do in Linux ^_^

Oh lord, please don't get me wrong, this message is not exactly targeted at you or someone specific, but as mentioned before it's easy. It will take you less than a minute. And if you consider yourself an advanced windows user, you should have knowledge about the cmd / power shell, thus not being afraid of the terminal. Even if you google for "How to create a wine prefix." the first result will already tell you. This will take you 5 minutes of googling on how to create one and maybe 5 more on how to make use of it.

Assuming you use a debian based distro (Debian, Ubuntu, some more...) open a terminal (CRTL + T) you could do it like this:

How to deploy a wine prefix & install DXVK

1. Create Wine-Prefix (64bit / x64 in this case)
WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.dxvk" wine wineboot

Note: The prefix is named "dxvk" like this. You could name it however you so desire.

2. Download dxvk-Release (0.42 in this case)
wget https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases/download/v0.42/dxvk-0.42.tar.gz

3. Extract the archive and change into the x64 directory
tar -xvf  dxvk-0.42.tar.gz && cd dxvk-0.42/x64/

4. Install dxvk in your desired Wineprefix
WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.dxvk" ./setup_dxvk.sh

At this point you are already done. Now you can execute e.g. .exe-files in this prefix:
WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.dxvk" wine BLAHBLAH.exe

If you don't want to type the prefix in all the time, just do:
export WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.dxvk"

...and as long as the terminal is open you will always refer to this prefix.

How to deploy a wine prefix & install DXVK in one command
WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.dxvk" wine wineboot && wget https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases/download/v0.42/dxvk-0.42.tar.gz && tar -xvf  dxvk-0.42.tar.gz && cd dxvk-0.42/x64/ && WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.dxvk" ./setup_dxvk.sh

...which will only take a few seconds.

Thanks!

Going to try that too. I was probably following the wrong tutorial or misunderstood something. It was about building Wine to run DXVK. Got problems with missing dependencies that couldn't get installed and I was running out of time so I gave up trying. That's why I asked for a PoL script.

Imo, PoL is a clean way of managing your wine games (when you have more than one) in a single interface. Lutris seems good too, It's just that I never tried.

Anyway, before getting a PoL script, DXVK will need to be integrated into wine, I guess...

Does the Steam version of Witcher 3 will work with DXVK, if the Steam overlay is disabled? Do I need to do something else? I don't have the GOG version.

Thanks again!

Could it be possible to get all this in a playonlinux script? It's probably a tremendous amount of work, though.

Still great to know that such an awesome tool exists. I hope the AAA game studios and porters will know of it's existence and benefit from it. Maybe we could get more ports this way.
