I love Frozenbyte and their game designs. I didn’t play that long, so there is still a chance this hack will crash the game.Īfter a few days to think it over, I've decided (not lightly) to request a refund. I think it only took a minute or two total (didn’t time). I don’t know why this is, but if you are testing this hack, prepare for that and don’t assume it crashed. It will get to half way, and just take longer.

The initial load time of the game (the blood filling the bird crest) seems longer. Looking down 2nd alley: 25-28 (I think it was around 15 as well)
#Styx vs shadwen drivers
Running Medium Details, 1080P, Medium AA, and a single-gpu (crossfire not supported by open drivers yet) these were the approximate FPS for each area (with the FPS using the proprietary drivers in brackets I posted earlier). Next, I tried the MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=4.1 command and it seems to have worked! Not only that, but it’s a vast improvement! I didn’t bother going farther – I just wanted a feeling for any difference that might exist and the conclusion was “worse”. 10 FPS at the main menu, around 8 in the opening area. The FPS was pretty bad using Very High Details. I wanted to make sure I was being fair to the officially supported OS, so I ran the game under Ubuntu 14.04 using the fglrx-updates proprietary drivers. If someone is interested in more complete tests, I can try and do that. I’m just shooting for snapshots to get an idea of how well this game might work.
#Styx vs shadwen update
A final(?) update on Shadwen on Linux (Manjaro 64-bit) using an AMD card (6870):įirst, my apologies that these tests are a bit all over the place. Shmerl: See this thread for potential workaround by spoofing OpenGL version: t=27507 The 15% discount will last until May 24, 1:59 PM UTC. Put on your soft leather gloves, don your darkness-colored robes, and keep your murders quiet as you become Shadwen, DRM-free on GOG.com. Killing might not be necessary, as long as Shadwen manages to stay hidden or use distractions, thus sparing young Lily the horrible sight of this muffled violent dance. Before you execute any action, time stands still, allowing you to change plans on the spot and even rewind failed attempts. Perhaps there is another way to get past these guards, climb on that scaffold, and continue on her mission to assassinate the king. Time stands still as Shadwen lurks behind a dark corner, wishing that the little girl cowering beside her didn't have to witness the brutal scene that is about to unfold. Shadwen, a thrilling exercise in silent killing within a bleak medieval environment, is now available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, DRM-free on GOG.com with GOG Galaxy support for achievements and a 15% launch discount.
