22 In case you haven
't already heard about it, if you have a GOG account you can get Shadow Warrior
2 for free [
1]here
<br/><br/>Shadow Warrior
2 sadly didn
't get a native Linux release like the first reboot but using a combination of Wine and DXVK you can get it running fairly smoothly (on semi outdated hardware)
<br/><br/>How to get it running
<br/><br/>The game got an [
2]install script for Lutris a few hours ago that runs by installing with the offline setup from GOG.
<br/><br/>Another option is to install and run [
3]GOG Galaxy which you can use to download and update the game and also to synchronize your savegames.
<br/><br/>[
4]Here is a video demonstration of it running on my cpu bottlenecked hardware (i5
2500 +
1060 3GB), so with any newer or overclocked CPU you should be good to go.
<br/><br/>Quick Troubleshooting (any other fixes are welcome)
<br/><br/>Game running really really slow ingame:
<br/><br/>Right click the game/GOG Galaxy in Lutris, select wine configuration and in the new window set the windows version to windows
10<br/><br/>If it
's still slow, right click it in Lutris, select configure and go to system settings. Enable
'run in terminal
'<br/><br/>Invisible Floors:
<br/><br/>Right click the game in Lutris and make sure you have DXVK enabled as invisible floors usually occur in wined3d11
<br/><br/>Another way to check if DXVK is running and working is to set the environment variable DXVK_HUD to
'fps

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