Many such cases, apparently.
You could tell the developer you're waiting for that patch to hit GOG before buying their game. It might not be enough to make them fix it, but at least they'll know (or, if you give in and buy anyway, perhaps believe) that their behavior lost them a sale.

trying to get mangohud or some sort of fps counter to work with cyberpunk on lutris.
game seems to be running great but I wanted to know how well it's performing on my hardware.
the checkbox option in lutris remains permanently grayed out, and trying to launch with environment variables yields no results.
I've gotten it to run just fine with vkcube and I know it'll work, so I'm stumped with my limited linux knowledge.
what would be an easy alternative for this?
>>
>>487719151
If the option is greyed out then mangohud is not installed on your system. If you're using flatpak version of lutris you have to install flatpak version of mangohud as well.
