'll try to stay calm when I say I'm totally disapointed. I feel cheated by a company I held really high for the last years. Totally enjoyed The Witcher 1 years ago and TW2 of course too.

I already own this Game from my Pre-Order on GoG when it was announced the first time and I spent many great hours playing it. I basically bought it again on Steam to show my support for porting this to my OS of choice.

This.. wrapper-story.. however.. sorry no way. I'm a dev myself and just the idea to write another gorram wrapper puzzles me. I blink and want to cry out "Whaaat". Oh for the sake of.. nevermind.

Next: Sorry but this wasn't even tested remotetly. I've several Linux installations around and my hardware is decent enough. I was able to play TW2 using W.I.N.E. even directly after the release when Wine had a horrible problem with some glsl calls especially in the quick action scenes. TW2s "port" doesn't take off on any box I've. It stutters, I get strange glow effects, just light (bloom) where there should be a skin texture (bad trip) or it simply crashes (on e.g. Radeon).

My wife is playing the Windows version using WINE again in the next room. It's smooth, it looks great and the only trouble she has is the very bad menu experience while this "port" isn't even able to store keyboard settings (ANY!) or use em just after loading defaults. That's right - I don't even get keys beside TAB and ESC. Well done.

Mayhap CDPRojectRed should ask somebody who has a clue about porting. The guys from MetroLL come to mind. Or perhaps Valve (skipped on HL2 until it was ported). Instead it looks like they fell (again) for a foreign supportive company with many promises.

Yeah, you promise to look into stuff. Roll out patches. Mayhap you'll even do. Mayhap this will run one day close to the performance it has on Windows. I've my doubts. And know what.. I won't PRE-Order The Witcher 3. See, this really damaged your reputation. I'll wait and see what happens first. Probably reading the Witcher-books again instead.

Ein einfaches WASD ist nicht drin, weil er es nicht speichert. Einzig und allein die Maus funktioniert. WTH?

Kann ich nicht glauben. Meine anderen Spiele starten alle sauber auf dem Primär-Bildschirm - egal ob SDL oder Wine oder Unity. Genau so erwarte ich das auch. Nur TW2 tanzt hier aus der Reihe.
