And yet, somehow they managed to make a Mac version of this Unreal Engine 4 game.
Single player, no anti-cheat or anti-tamper as far as I can see, it's using FMOD, XAudio, Bink2... so what was the problem here?

Until Techland fixes rebinding mouse buttons, you can use this nifty tool.

Cancerfonden doing good work. A good opportunity to snag some sweet games and support a worthy cause.

The horror aspect is lessened yes. As much more of the gameplay is focused on nighttime, Techland aimed to make the night more accessible for all players. It will still be dangerous, but less punishing. Players searching for extra thrills can go deep inside houses at daytime... good luck. :)

Posted my initial performance impressions on the Steam forums.
Teaser: Starting area runs 85-90 on average without resolution scaling, smooth and nice.

Quoting: NanobangDid Steam or Techland announce 100% Proton compatibility ahead of release already?
Nothing has been said about Proton or Steam Deck yet. Hopefully that simply means Techland hasn't tested DL2 on a Deck yet, or have chosen to remain silent for now.

Quoting: SwannyWonder if there is still a remote possibility of native version post release.
I'll have to say no, there's pretty much zero chance at this time. It's releasing for Windows PC and consoles. No Linux, no Mac. The Switch version will be some black magic voodoo cloud thing so it barely counts. :)

If anything, Techland would be interested in making sure DL2 runs as well as it can on the Steam Deck. The listed minimum specs for 1080p30 are 1050Ti/RX560 and the Deck should be fairly close to that, so there's at least a reasonable chance DL2 could do 30+ fps. :)

Techland trailers are delicious!
Don't forget to check in at techlandgg.com and grab some goodies, tons of info about DL2 and extra quests for bonus stuff (for both games)!

On a silly note, the weapon isn't actually a crankshaft but rather a camshaft. There's a brand called Crane Cams and the protagonist is named Kyle Crane. The weapon also seems to tear chunks of rotting flesh out of the infected quite often. Enjoy!

Note that the integrated core downloader is not implemented in the Steam version. Cores are instead listed as free DLC so simply add them this way instead, the Steam version currently has 31 cores and the list is growing pretty fast. :)

Nice, I wondered where the 'Active Window' option had gone in Spectacle.
