Wow... the same day Hinterland publishes v1.82, GoG finally managed to provide v1.81 on their download servers (not their Galaxy client!)
@Hinterland: Thank you for your constant bug fixing. This is highly appreciated
Just for the record, I do not blame Hinterland for the GoG delays nor do I want to complain here. I just want to leave that information so that Hinterland knows about this. What I find most disturbing is the difference in delays with GoG releases. Sometimes (like around last christmas) TLD updates appeared nearly immediately on GoG while others (like this one or the v1.78 update) seem to never land on GoG's download servers. So it seems there is not even a pattern when to expect an update on GoG. It seems like they do some dice roll and when the correct number appears they put the updates on their download servers.
I've filed a support request at GoG for the missing v1.78 Linux release but got a reply that because of Corona it might take up to four weeks until they can take care of my inquiry. Perhaps someone at Hinterland can get in touch with them?
Perhaps this post doesn't really fit in here but I didn't want to create a new topic for this.
I have some issues with TLD (GoG version) on my two Gentoo Systems since at least v1.62 of the game.
On my Notebook (with radeon kernel driver) I cannot start the game with mesa-19.3.0_rc1 or newer. On startup I get a floating point exception and the game stops to run immediately. Going down to mesa-19.2.x "fixes" the issue and I can successfully start the game. This doesn't happen on my Desktop machine with amdgpu kernel driver where I run mesa-19.3 successfully since the first release candidates.
On my Desktop (with amdgpu kernel driver) while playing the game I get lots of screen artefacts and minor screen corruptions. I first thought this was mesa-19.3 related but going down to mesa-19.2 didn't fix the issue. Most artefacts can be seen at the player's right hand when holding the rifle or being spread over the whole screen when aiming with the rifle. I didn't check the bow yet though.
Here are my current specs:
Hardware Desktop:
GPU: Tonga PRO [Radeon R9 285]
CPU: 2x AMD Opteron 6328
Hardware Notebook:
GPU: AMD FirePro M6100
CPU: Intel Core i7-3740QM
OS:
Gentoo Linux (~amd64)
kernel-5.4.3 (CONFIG_DRM_AMDGPU=y and CONFIG_DRM_AMD_DC=y on Desktop) / (CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=y on Notebook)
xorg-server-1.20.6
xf86-video-amdgpu-19.1.0 (Desktop) / xf86-video-ati-19.1.0 (Notebook)
mesa-19.3.0 (Desktop) / mesa-19.2.7 (Notebook)
llvm-9.0.1_rc3 (Desktop) / llvm-9.0.0 (Notebook)
libdrm-2.4.100
vulkan-loader-1.1.125
Game version:
v1.67 right now but happened at least since v1.62
Perhaps it's the Christmas spirit that made them (GoG) being extra quick. I am downloading the Linux release of v1.67 from GoG right now. I am again very pleasantly surprised.
Cheers!
The Linux variant of v1.64 is available on GoG since yesterday. I was quite baffled as this was the shortest waiting period I ever had to wait for a TLD update on GoG. Let's hope they are as quick with the v1.67 update...
As promised in the v1.62 announcement thread here are my current specs.
Hardware:
GPU: Tonga PRO [Radeon R9 285]

mesa-19.3.0_rc2
llvm-9.0.0
libdrm-2.4.100
vulkan-loader-1.1.125
Vulkan libs are installed but last I checked the game was very sluggish using Vulkan.
I too have that annoying flickering which seems to be gone when using Vulkan.
I play the native Linux TLD versions from GoG.
Yes, I posted in that very same thread about this as well and even commented on that post you referred to. Still, I would like to know from Hinterland if they already sent some newer release than v1.56 to GoG yet. This just makes waiting a bit easier for me.
I know that GoG takes a ridiculous long amount of time to make TLD updates available, but I'd like to know from Hinterland if they even sent this update to GoG because in the past they skipped sending a few updates.
AFAIK, their Galaxy client is Windows-only, so this is not really an option for me.
