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16 | can get it running fairly smoothly (on semi outdated hardware)\r | |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 | |
