| 11 | In case you haven't already heard about it, if you have a GOG\r |
| 12 | account you can get Shadow Warrior 2 for free [1]here\r |
| 13 | \r |
| 14 | Shadow Warrior 2 sadly didn't get a native Linux release like\r |
| 15 | the first reboot but using a combination of Wine and DXVK you\r |
| 16 | can get it running fairly smoothly (on semi outdated hardware)\r |
| 17 | \r |
| 18 | How to get it running\r |
| 19 | \r |
| 20 | The game got an [2]install script for Lutris a few hours ago\r |
| 21 | that runs by installing with the offline setup from GOG.\r |
| 22 | \r |
| 23 | Another option is to install and run [3]GOG Galaxy which you\r |
| 24 | can use to download and update the game and also to\r |
| 25 | synchronize your savegames.\r |
| 26 | \r |
| 27 | [4]Here is a video demonstration of it running on my cpu\r |
| 28 | bottlenecked hardware (i5 2500 + 1060 3GB), so with any newer\r |
| 29 | or overclocked CPU you should be good to go.\r |
| 30 | \r |
| 31 | Quick Troubleshooting (any other fixes are welcome)\r |
| 32 | \r |
| 33 | Game running really really slow ingame:\r |
| 34 | \r |
| 35 | Right click the game/GOG Galaxy in Lutris, select wine\r |
| 36 | configuration and in the new window set the windows version to\r |
| 37 | windows 10\r |
| 38 | \r |
| 39 | If it's still slow, right click it in Lutris, select configure\r |
| 40 | and go to system settings. Enable 'run in terminal'\r |
| 41 | \r |
| 42 | Invisible Floors:\r |
| 43 | \r |
| 44 | Right click the game in Lutris and make sure you have DXVK\r |
| 45 | enabled as invisible floors usually occur in wined3d11\r |
| 46 | \r |
| 47 | Another way to check if DXVK is running and working is to set\r |
| 48 | the environment variable DXVK_HUD to 'fps'\r |

| 62 | Prior to the release of Shadow Warrior 2, I had purchased both\r |
| 63 | Shadow Warrior "Classic" and Shadow Warrio, thinking I might\r |
| 64 | play them back-to-back once I had all three.\r |
| 65 | But after the devs/publisher reneged on a promised Linux\r |
| 66 | release, I swore I would never buy this game. And now I don't\r |
| 67 | have to. I can enjoy their game and they get NADA from me.\r |
| 68 | Fuck them. Thank you GoG.\r |
