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  16     can get it running fairly smoothly (on semi outdated hardware)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

  61   ** itwurx4me
  62      Prior to the release of Shadow Warrior 2, I had purchased both
  63      Shadow Warrior "Classic" and Shadow Warrio, thinking I might
  64      play them back-to-back once I had all three.
  65      But after the devs/publisher reneged on a promised Linux
  66      release, I swore I would never buy this game. And now I don't
  67      have to. I can enjoy their game and they get NADA from me.
  68      Fuck them. Thank you GoG.
