How do i start cyberpunk if I already installed it om my d drive via windows.
Bazzite installed on same drive in case windows update borks the efi bootup for bazzite.
Gog was used to install it on windows.

* You unfortunately can't play your games from your Windows NTFS drive
* I'd go with "Heroic Games Launcher" (you can install it from Bazaar) and it has support for GOG and Epic Games
* You might be able to start the download and copy the files over from your Windows drive if you are trying to save bandwidth (works with Steam, haven't tried it with GoG games though)
Can I play if windows drive was fat32 or exfat, or suchlike?
I linked my GoG Account with Heroic yesterday, installed CyberPunk, it launched without issue. The game needed about 5-10 minutes before my cloudsaves from GoG downloaded, but it eventually did.
Hardware Compatibility for Gaming - Bazzite Documentation
Bazzite is a custom image built upon Fedora Atomic Desktops that brings the best of Linux gaming to all of your devices.
I went back into windows. installed the btrfs driver and the ntfs2btrfs tool and converted my d drive to btrfs, so Windows and Bazzite can see it now.
I then went into bazzite and installed heroic and logged into GOG. I was able to import the game. I then copied the saved games from my windows C driver users folder to the location that GOG says the game saved files should go. I was then able to start the game and load a previous saved game.
The game stutters now though when playing it as if I was playing it online and there was a communication issue and the game isnt keeping up with where my character should be.
Might leave it alone now though, go back into windows and see if cyberpunk runs from there still.
Try setting your power profile to performance, it makes a big difference on my machine
In addition to power setting, I had to play around with capped/uncapped, Vsysnc on/off and FPS limit to find the right settings. Example locking it at 60FPS, stutter terrible fps. Unlocked vsync off, smooth as butter.
