The Witness.
I've heard that it is a magnificent game, but it is written with Direct3D 11, and although this Wine release notice states that "More Direct3D 10 and 11 features are implemented" and "Direct3D 11 feature levels are supported.", it doesn't seem to work yet (in "https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=33289" https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iI... they state that it didn't work a month ago with Wine 2.0-rc1).
I have both linux and macos, but no windows computer apart from the work one - and this particular game doesn't seem to work in a VM (https://steamcommunity.com/app/210970/discussions/0/458607518206667851/ https://steamcommunity.com/app/210970/discussions/0/45860751...), with Wine, or in any other way except a native Windows installation.
In any case, Wine is superb work so I can't complain (except for John Blow's commercial decision). At least I have the hope that I will eventually be able to play without the need to buy a dedicated computer!
Thanks Wine team!
- mmozeiko 10y agoInteresting fact is that The Witness is ported by Nvidia to run on Shield TV (which runs Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nvidia.thekla.witness&ncid=pa-blo-thws-5499 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nvidia.the...
- JayHost 10y agoThat's cool. Does that mean they ported the HLSL to OpenGL and what would be the obstacle stopping a Linux Port?
- Narishma 10y agoThe game is available on PS4 and Xbox One, if you have one of those.
