[MordragT]

It does start now but there are no fonts displayed and the video scenes wont work

Runs without any issues for me with Proton 3.7 on Ubuntu 18.04

Works without any issues, no need to set anything up. This game can probably be whitelisted. +MordragT I would suggest loading winetricks, deleting all data in the prefix and then creating a new "fresh one". I did this for another game and got it working. But Witcher seems to work without any problems (NOTE: I have the Director's Cut DLC). *Of course someone else with AMD needs to confirm that this isn't an issue with the GPU, as the two working versions seem to have Nvidia GTX 1060's.

Also, I wish there was a way to no play the long video at the beginning.

EDITED (only after I commented I noticed that you are running a non-Nvidia GPU)

There was some fps drops and missing mouse cursor in in-game menu(not main menu) which fixed with ALT+TAB(maybe cuz steam overlay or something else). Everything else was fine(but I'm only played prologue).

[Playinthegames]

Installed the game and played the prologue. So far it has worked perfectly.

[swick]

Works perfectly fine. Tested a few savegames. Performance is… not great. Works much better with gallium nine.

@MordragT can you please test again with Proton 3.7-4 Beta?

[OMTDesign]

This game runs near flawlessly for me using Proton 3.7-4 Beta. There is an issue when moving the mouse during the intro video causes it to lag, but there are no issues with the actual gameplay.

[CaioCSdev]

@swick for me it was working on 3.7-3 but now at 3.7-4 Beta it has some issues. mainly there's no skin :skull:

I'm runnig on:

• Ubuntu 18.04.1
• AMD FX(tm)-6100 Six-Core Processor
• GF116 [GeForce GTX 550 Ti]
• nvidia-driver-390

Many thanks

[noammor]

The no skin bug can be solved by setting a registry key in wine: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34052

In my testing, the no skin bug appears randomly and will appear and disappear on game restart.

Game log

https://gist.github.com/grabmateusz/d8289ff0b86269092ce1139fd140d665

Symptoms

• Game has known bug with missing people except eyeballs and teeth:

• It is impossible to move and look around (mouse and keyboard seems not to work at the same time)

Reproduction

1. Run a new game and use mouse + keyboard control variant
2. Watch how it looks
3. Try to move Geralt and look around

[Waddlen]

I've played the game for about an hour. Worked out-of-the-box perfectly. Ubuntu 18.04 Linux 4.15.0-34-generic R7 1700 GTX 1080 Nvidia 396.54 Proton 3.7-3 and 3.7-6

@grabmateusz READ: Nvidia 396.54 is the MINIMUM driver necessary for Proton, and you should always test with the latest. Also, Ubuntu 17.10 has been end-of-life for a few months now. Upgrade to 18.04 LTS, it will be supported for 5 years.

[swick]

Performance is good enough for me to consider it playable now. The visual problem has a workaround.

@MordragT can you try to test again?

[noammor]

I "tested" the game for around 40 hours in the last 2 weeks. Ubuntu 18.04, GTX 660, Nvidia 396.54, beta client. Default Proton versions (haven't changed any settings). I manually set the registry key using wine regedit on the wineprefix.

Performance is good with some slowdowns on medium graphics. I've been playing exclusively using a Steam Controller through a Steam Link. I encounter only one issue worth mentioning -

• the in-game mouse cursor is visible after a left click in mouse+WASD mode (third person view).

This is a particular bizarre one - when I input a left click using the Steam controller, the mouse cursor becomes visible and sort of suck on screen (it should be invisible in this mode). When I input a left click using the mouse, it doesn't happen.

After the mouse cursor appears, it will stay stuck on screen until some dialog comes up. When the dialog is closed, the mouse cursor will not be visible until the next time I input a left click using the controller.

For mouse/keyboard players, I'd certainly white-list this game.

Compatibility Report

• Name of the game with compatibility issues: The Witcher: Enhanced Edition

System Information

• GPU: NVIDIA GTX 750
• Driver/LLVM version:
• Kernel version: Linux 4.18.0-13-generic

• Proton version: 3.16-4

I confirm:

• [ ] that I haven't found an existing compatibility report for this game.
• [x] that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available.

Symptoms

When I try to run the game which is installed in an ext4 partition, the game closes right after the DirectX install dialog pops up. There is no other message that pops up afterwards. I do have Python 2.7+ installed. I believe installing the game on a separate HDD formatted to ext4 is an issue

Reproduction

Just clicking play

[gasinvein]

The Witcher crashes on save just like https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/255#issuecomment-447584408 stated, with language set to russian (probably this would reproduce with any non-ASCII locale). This is likely a proton-specific bug, as on vanilla wine 4.0-rc5 the game saves and loads just fine.

Symptoms

The game crashes when I try to save with Proton 3.16-6 Beta. With Proton 3.7-8 it seems to be working fine. I tried PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 to see if that causes the issue but it did not change anything.

Reproduction

Try saving the game once it allows you (right after the first fight).

[Leopard1907]

Game regressed. It was working perfect on 3.16-4 but not on 3.16-7.

It crashes when you start a new game. I tried disabling esync , adding large adress aware variable and old gl strings variable but result was same every time.

[aeikum]

Hi all. The problem with saving games in non-English languages should be fixed in 3.16-7.

@Leopard1907 Thank you for providing the log. Unfortunately we haven't been able to reproduce your failure. Are you using a non-English language for Witcher 1? Does Witcher 1 still work in 3.16-4 for you?

[Leopard1907]

@aeikum

I'm using English language , on a Turkish client and OS.

Yes , Witcher 1 still works on 3.16-4. And i also didn't have any save issues on 3.16-4. Saving and loading works just fine.

I assume that is the fix you mentioned?

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/commit/2ae0d898eb1d6279cc705307a459f920bc7c921e

I had language related problems before on Steam Client but those are mostly fixed.

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/5827

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/4792

I still have a keyboard problem though , on some games.

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46102

So 3.16-7 broke things for me on Witcher 1 and also somehow Dirt 3 regressed on it. Both still works fine with 3.16-4. Games like Witcher 3, Quake Champions etc still works on 3.16-7.

[aeikum]

@Leopard1907 Thanks for explaining. This seems to be a problem specific to using Wine with the Turkish locale. I will look into the problem. As a workaround in the meantime, I think you can set LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 %command% in the game's Launch Options in Steam to get the game running again.

[Leopard1907]

Hi @aeikum

I just tried with that launch option on 3.16-8.

Game still crashes when you start a new game.

3.16-4 still works flawless.

[aeikum]

Hi again, @Leopard1907. Strange that the workaround didn't work. One of our developers found that this seems to be related to this glibc issue: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23393 We are investigating a workaround for Proton/Wine.

[Leopard1907]

@aeikum Thanks for the answer. Was it supposed to solve loading issue or keyboard issue?

Because with 3.16-8 i can't boot a new game ( probably loading a saved one will also end up with crash ) , so i didn't test keyboard related problem if that is the case workaround intends to solve.

[aeikum]

Probably only the loading issue.

[Leopard1907]

So i tested the right one :)

Strangely 3.16-8 and 7 caused regressions for me on various titles. They all seem to be related.

Skyrim SE infinite loading screen , Dirt 3 doesn't boot , Grid 1 crash after first Codemasters scene.

I already reported them and attached logs , if there are anymore tests i can do on my end i would gladly do it. They all seems to work fine on 3.16-4.

[aeikum]

Yes, thank you for reporting. I'm surprised the LC_ALL thing didn't work. Maybe try with LC_CTYPE=C or LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 or LC_ALL=C?
