--- Comment #54 from Kimmo Myllyvirta kimmo.myllyvirta@gmail.com --- Yes, it needs it, with the stub implementation the sleeping dogs demo goes "much" further (it may need a lot more than simple stubs, it seems to use deferred contexts extensively).
On-topic; Since Witcher 1.31, the game doesn't call CreateDeferredContext at all anymore, at least not at the very beginning of a new game (Steam version). The main menu looks the same as before (GTX 980, 375.20, staging and vanilla). And yes, CSMT breaks it.
