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+ can get it running fairly smoothly (on semi outdated hardware)\r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

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