--- Comment #23 from doctordruidphd@yahoo.com 2010-07-19 12:53:28 --- Now that wine-1.2 has been released, I have been struggling to get The Witcher to work, without success. I had it working quite well, minus the status bars, in the 1.1.3x and 1.1.4x versions. But now the video is extremely slow, and all of the major characters are flashing. I used winetricks to set the video options back where they were in 1.1.3x, and the screen goes black when any potions that use video effects are drunk. What a mess! This is: 64-bit quad system, NVIDIA geforce 9800GT dual cards, kubuntu-10.04 lucid. I am having trouble with all my other games too, that used to work fine. So the video is completely messed up.
