charakter drawing problems
by fetter_oml on Tuesday June 23rd 2009, 10:58

hi anyone,

I finished the game
by Rief on Sunday August 17th 2008, 8:35

I can confirm that the game is fully playable under wine. I play the game with the lower configuration on an intel core 2 duo 7500 with a geforce 8600m gt (on acer aspire 5920g) from the start to the end without problems (fps min~20 and max~60). Great game, great wine.

Finished the main game
by Felson on Monday August 4th 2008, 13:24

I played the main game though using the 1.2 fixed exe.
These are the bugs I encountered.
1) Status bars for health, EX and toxicity didn't show (For some reason endurance worked fine.)
2) Using a Catseye potion caused the screen to "split". It would show the left half of the screen , split and show the left half again.
3) Once in a while changing zones would cause the game to hang.
4) When doing the bank quest in chapter 3, while talking to the elf downstairs, my hair disappeared, and the game got very slow until I left the bank.
----------------------------------------------------
Having finished the game, I would love to try the "extras". Anyone know if there is a 1.3 fixed exe out there at all? Or one in the works? Or, if there is any way to get Tages to work under wine?

Invisible Launcher
by Kevin Brott on Wednesday June 11th 2008, 22:21

I seem to have a completely different issue menu-wise.

Ubuntu 8.04.1 - 2.6.24-19-generic kernel - x86_64 - nvidia 173.14.05 drivers (although it was happening on the 169.12 as well).

The game installs, and patches just fine - but the Launcher doesn't appear at all, ever. I can see it via wmctrl:
0x0380000d 2 888 404 392 621 beastiary The Witcher game launcher

I can see the silhouette in my workspace switcher, and alt-tab gives an outline for it - but there's nothing visible or click-able on the screen. I do have directx 9.0c (Nov 2007) installed (long list of libraries I have to flag native or builting-only).

No clue how to work around it yet. Any clues?

Register the game
by Florian on Friday May 30th 2008, 6:10

Did anyone manage to register the game in order to get access to the bonus content on the witcher website?
I can login with my account from thewitcher.com in the launcher. But when I entered my registration code it complains that I need to be logged in to register my game. The message tells that I should use Internet Explorer 6 with enabled cookies. I installed ies4 Linux enabled cookies and logged in. Still the same. Of course it happens with native firefox as well.
Anyone managed to register the game?

I don't think this game is worthy golden rating. That's well that it is somehow playable, but the bugs on some platforms (e.g. GeForce 7xxx cards) and the performance qualify it for at the most bronze rating.

no progress bar when loading new place or save and movies doesnt work for me
by Bartłomiej Zimoń on Sunday March 30th 2008, 6:08

You have tha same ?
I can't get to load game because of that.
I have nice menu with fonts.

Menu get working for me.
AMD Athlon64 x2 4000+, PLD Linux arch athlon, wine 0.9.58,2GB RAM

I have installed game in this few points:
1. rm -rf ~/.wine
2. wineboot
3. winecfg - choose win2k
4. sh winetricks vcrun2005sp1 (or w/o sp1 it's the same)
For me it was badly installed And I have copied that data from real XP so now works without errors about "Microsoft.VC80.CRT" and msvcr80.dll ...

wine 57, no mouse in menu
by Vyacheslav Goltser on Sunday March 16th 2008, 19:22

When I am in the menu, the mouse pointer doesn't show up. Also when in the keybinding section, the keys don't show up either. Any idea on how this could be fixed?

Possible performance problem
by Florian on Thursday March 13th 2008, 16:41

Hi,
I played a bit with the graphic settings of this game. It looks for me, like the "lightquality" setting has some problems with wine. I set it to the very highest position and the performance is very very bad. On mid position it is fine. (lowering anti-aliasing gave a performance boost, too)
With FarCry I have issues with the lightquality, too. On highest setting, some models (NPCs, vehicles and ladders) cannot be seen. On middle lightquality I can see them.
I cannot draw a direct connection here but can the lightquality be possibly the performance killer here?
(I do not know how this behaves in windows). But the issue with FarCry seemed to confirm this for me...

I am afraid, how the enhanced patch tomorrow might improve the performance. According to a flyer by CD-Project it should be available tomorrow.

No fonts in the menu
by Florian on Friday February 15th 2008, 13:00

Hi,
Does anyone here know what Font The Witcher uses? I installed the game successfully and patched it to 1.2. But in the main menu I get no text displayed. I only can see some animated buttons if i move the mouse but not text.
The package msttcorefonts is installed on my ubuntu.

I'm getting an error box "Warning: minimum system requirements not met" when starting this game. After choosing OK, wine just closes.

Last messages were:

fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x1aaea58,0x00000000), stub!

Any ideas?

Rag dolls
by Zbigniew Braniecki on Saturday January 12th 2008, 9:47

And don't you see things like this: img299.imageshack.us/img299/4263/screenshot24kn4.png ?

I installed 1.2, with noCD, with that directx dll file, and everything works, but it looks like this. Characters are not moving (they're shadows do)
