What works Nearly everything once you've put in all the effort required to get the game to work. And it was less work to get up and running on wine 1.1.21 than last time when I installed on wine 1.1.18. This time around the game installation properly installed the directx & visual c++ redistributables so there was no need for me to drop in d3dx9_35.dll or use winetricks to install vcrun2005.

What does not 足In the order that I encountered them: Wine's built-in gdiplus as of 1.1.21 still isn't good enough to run the launcher.exe and register.exe executables (Bug #18314). This is fairly easy to fix by dropping in a native version. The version that winetricks installs will work fine. Wine's inability to handle TAGES (Bug #10264) copy protection is a biggy. It prevents the game from running unless you use a cracked version of the witcher.exe executable. The game is extremely laggy until the recommended registry edits are made: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER Software Wine Direct3D] DirectDrawRender=opengl OffscreenRenderingMode=fbo PixelShaderMode=enabled RenderTargetLockMode=textex UseGLSL=enabled VideoMemorySize=512 Note t足hat I have 512MB on my video card, if you have a different amount use that for VideoMemorySize instead. After that the game runs fairly well yet suffers from some significant, but not critical graphical defects (Bug #12771).

The empty health and toxicity bars are probably the most serious. But you can run the cursor over them to see their values when necessary even if that is a pain to do in the middle of a fight. Other visual defects include missing health/attitude rings underneath other characters, an empty experience point ring around the wolf amulet (again you can run your cursor over it for the exact value), and an annoying box that appears around the cursor, especially during a fight. Workarounds What was not tested Gameplay beyond the 2nd chapter. Hardware tested Graphics: • GPU: • Driver: Additional Comments I'm going to rate this as a high bronze. Between the empty health/toxicity bars and the need for a cracked executable I'm reluctant to give this game a silver rating at this time.

Dell Windows 7 Recovery Disk Iso here. (Note that it is possible to successfully upgrade 1.0 to 1.4 without ever using a cracked executable. You just can't play 1.0 without one.). I had the game running on my computer: Core2Duo E1200 @ 2,67GHz, 2GB DDR2 800 dual-channel, GF 8600GT. However, in some locations the performance was so poor that the game became unplayable (4-6fps), even with all settings low.

Recently I switched my graphic card to GF 9600GT, which I expected to give a significant performance boost. This is not the case, however. The performance with 9600GT is as poor as it was before.

The framerate didn't improve at all. I tried all possible regedit and winecfg settings, but with no effect.

Any ideas what might be the problem? 1-Make a fresh install of your ORIGINAL game The Witcher with wine. 2-Download all needed files from The Witcher Website, this mean: 'TWEE_Upgrade.exe' (a ~900mb patch file) 'TWEE_YOUR-LANGUAGE_language_pack.exe' 'TWEE_adventure_Side_Effects.exe' (optional bonus quest) 'TWEE_adventure_The_Price_of_Neutrality.exe' (optional bonus quest) 3-Find yourself witcher.v1.4.5.1282.nodvd.rar and replace the exe of the game with the one in this archive. 4-Now double click on 'TWEE_Upgrade.exe' and install the update. You'll notice that it bypassed the registration message and the copy protection system checked.
