QuoteIt seems very unlikely, but if we have to stop providing access to GOG services and GOG content permanently (not because of any breach by you), we will try to give you at least sixty (60) days advance notice by posting a note on www.gog.com and sending an email to every registered users – during that time you should be able to download any GOG content you purchased.

So they make clear, that you still will be permitted to use your purchases (backed up naturally).

Also, they point out this:

QuoteIf you would like us to delete your account please contact our Support Team here. Termination will not affect already existing rights or obligations of us or you.

I.e. you can close GOG account yourself, and still have the right to use your purchases.

Plus :

QuoteIn the very unlikely situation that we have to stop running GOG.com we'll do our best to give you advance notice, so that you can download and safely store all your DRM-free content.

This : https://www.defectivebydesign.org/what_is_drm_digital_restrictions_management and the FAQ

The problem there is... With GOG you can download your game on their website OR with Galaxy. With Steam you don't have that choice, you HAVE TO install their client on your PC and then download/install your games.
Why you can't download a game on their website, it is too much complicated for them?
And (tell me if i'm wrong) you can't use Steam all the time in Offline mode.

Imagine if you'd buy any digital product on Amazon (just for example, I hate Amazon) but you can't download it until you install their software on your machine...
Anywhere you buy a game etc on Internet, they have to know if it's really you who bought it, so you login and download your stuff.
Or maybe you have an another idea to achieve that? Come on...

Hi there!

Do you know if the game could get a GOG release (or any kind of DRM-Free release) in the future?

Sorry to ask that guys but it might be important. Thanks!

DXVK, the Vulkan compatibility layer for Direct3D 11 and Wine has a fresh release reducing CPU overhead

Quoting: Xpanderyes you can copy paste and use the Steam.sh script modified to launch Witcher3.exe
Quoting: Xpanderthis doesn't show any error, looks like it launched fine.

Yeah, but i don't see the game, it just launches nothing.

that is strange. Try to comment the WINEDEBUG=-all line, then wine should throw more info into the terminal, that might reveal whats the problem. I haven't tested Witcher 3 (don't own it) myself maybe you need some special dll overrides with this game.

at least it seems you succeeded with installing dxvk into your prefix as the info comes up

I get this without the WINEDEBUG option:

Its my old Intro clip a person made me. I have no skill to make a new one, so this will have to do it :)


Made a tutorial video also (might be still complicated for some)

edit: i messed up on the video edit also, you need to do VulkanSDK install before doing step 4

Spoiler, click me

I'm following your tutorial. I have a question for now, why install Vulkan Windows version (VulkanSDK-1.0.65.0-Installer.exe) instead of the Linux one, since it's native? It's simply because we use Wine?
(Sorry if it seems dumb...)
Can I install the lastest version (1.1.70.1)?
Thanks!

yeah we are using wine, you can install the latest also, its backwards compatible anyway, just wine has support up to 1.0.51 atm i think and my nvidia drivers (stable ones, not vulkan beta) have 1.0.65 only.

Thanks.
Another question... ^^
For the last task, i want to use Witcher 3 (GOG version) but it's already installed on my System, as i tested it with wine-staging-2.21.
Can I just copy/paste the folder into the _DXVK_prefix?
I didn't install Steam also, I don't think it's necessary in my case, is it?
