No, there is no "rag doll" effect (as you can see on screen shot's) and
everything normal in moves and menus over then noted in key binding menu.

Tested with "wine 1.1.6" and "wine 1.1.7".
Now key binding are look just like it should, as it shown on "KeyBinding menu
screen under Windows" but in game screens are still the same as shown on my
screenshot "Game screen under Linux-Wine".

Log from getting to display of problem and quitting by Alt-F4

I can confirm that on wine-1.1.10-551-g4cca303, the status bars in the upper
left and the health of enemies don't work, as in the screenshot from comment 2.
 Steps to reproduce:

1) Download the demo (~1.9 GB):

http://www.thewitcher.com/community/en/www/download_the_demo.html

Install it.

2) Drop a copy of d3dx9_36.dll in windows/system32 (otherwise the game will
crash on startup).

3) Start C:\Program Files\The Witcher Demo\System\witcher.exe.  Don't try
launcher.exe, it doesn't work.

4) Hit Esc repeatedly to skip videos, select New Game, pick any options you
like, hit Esc repeatedly to skip intro sequence once the level has loaded. 
Click Okay when a dialog pops up telling you to get a sword, then hit Space to
pause so you don't get killed in the combat.  The problem should be visible in
the upper left.

I've attached a log of stderr when I do this, piped through uniq -c because one
line was repeated a few thousand times.

Some note about graphical defects...they appear more occasionally, when i play
the game longer. Faces do not appear, etcetera. When those graphical defect
start to appear, game will crash in a minute. I am almost sure, it is due to
memory leak or memory manager. At the end of backtrace was GL_OUT_OF_MEMORY

Perhaps you should file a separate bug on this.

I cannot now, i had to delete the game. I will finish my university in a few
months, no time.

But for gamers i have a few advices. Turn off shadows and lights. Game will
crash not so frequently.

Developers of wine did a great job to get work this game!!!

Graphical Defects still present in 1.1.18 for Witcher 1.0:

1) Empty vitality (red) and toxicity (green) bars. (Oddly enough the yellow
endurance bar between them appears fine.)

2) Empty experience ring (sky blue) around the wolf medallion.

3) Missing colored rings beneath the other characters in the game denoting
both their health and their attitude (blue for ally, green for neutral, or red
for hostile).

4) I didn't see anyone else mentioning this one, but during combat I'm seeing
a large annoying rectangular box around the cursor once the cursor is changed
to a sword.

Graphical Defects Previously Fixed:

1) Key binding menu

I also agree with comment #12 that comment #11 is for a -different-
performance-related bug. The graphical bugs in this report however are constant
and do not depend on how long the game is played.

of the issues listed in comment 14 I can confirm 1 (vitality and toxicity
bars), 2 (experience bar) and 3 (the health circlet for the enemies)

I can also identify 2 (3?) more issues

1) active mutagens/effects aren't listed around the medallion, (the first
you'll encounter in game is named thunderbolt), hovers still produce the
appropriate tooltip

2?) the tooltips seem to be missing part their background (can someone with a
windows installation confirm this?)

3) many of the model polygons aren't rendered, I've attached a screenshot to
describe the issue better than I can - look for disembodied eyes and teeth (and
even hair)

I'm using a git checkout a few days after 1.1.42 (revision
e35f54ef1f6775b6cbf2707450b1930d540d1e12 )

I'm having the same problem as Kevin Meyer... I cannot see any of the actual
characters (See "what characters and creatures look like in game").  I can only
see things like swords, eyes, and teeth.  This happens to me immediately as the
game starts up, and I've been unable to progress from there.

Everything else appears to work well enough... I have an ATI card.

This is what my screen looks like. Witcher Enhanced version 1.5, Geforce
8800GT. File uploaded to my photobucket account because it is too large :
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v190/daseinhorn/witcher1.png

The game installs DirectX9 by default.

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.

My workaround for this was to reinitialize the graphic drivers. Try "emerge -1
nvidia-drivers" and see if this fixes your problem. If it does, do this each
time before playing.

It seems a bit drastic to have to re-emerge that package every time.

One of the things I used to do when I had an nvidia card was to write a script
to start the game.  Try it and see if it helps.

ex.

#!/bin/bash
# This script disables all the text output for Wine
# debugging for improved performace.
export WINEDEBUG=-ALL
export WINEPREFIX=/storage/mywine/GAME
GAME_DIR=$WINEPREFIX/GAME
cd $GAME_DIR
nvidia-settings --load-config-only
wine GAME.exe > output.log 2>&1

At this point, I cannot get The Witcher to run at all on wine-1.3-anything. It
starts, and just dies with no error messages. Same goes for several other
games. I have to revert to wine-1.2, and also load the .wine files from backup,
or no games at all.

You need to disable the gameux dll:
In winecfg under Libraries add gameux and set it to disabled.

(btw.: This has nothing to do with the rendering problems.)

Hi,
I've version 1.5 of the game and ATI drivers 10.10 and that game it's a mess
with Wine 1.3.6.

No background in menu screen, but neither the screen is resetting so when you
click on an option the new screen appears directly over the old one. Any
graphic detail doesn't go beyond Medium and the writings are misaligned. If you
reach the new game option you'll find yourself in a world without any 3d model
and worst of all not all the textures are in place by providing you a wonderful
vector-like game.

Now I'll try with 16 bit mode, but any help is well appreciated: PLEASE do not
force me to install a Windows game on Windows itself ;)

Unfortunately fglrx doesn't support 16 bit.
I have both FastTLS and backingstore enabled in my xorg.conf.

confirm same problem with:
- Wine 1.3.7 
- Witcher steam version (i.e. 1.50 enhanced edition)

Hardware is an Nvidia GeForce GTX 460 with 1GB Ram
Running game fullscreen within a virtual desktop at 1600x1200

Everything is looking very good at highest setting EXCEPT for the absence of
character model. No characters are visible, only their armor/eyes/teeth, rest
of the body is transparent.

Tried reducing settings and result is still the same, all characters models are
not showing and are transparent.

health/energy bars are also not visible

Makes the game unplayable.

using regedit to create the following settings solved the "transparent
characters" issue

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D]
"DirectDrawRender"="opengl"
"OffscreenRenderingMode"="fbo"
"PixelShaderMode"="enabled"
"RenderTargetLockMode"="textex"
"UseGLSL"="enabled"
"VideoMemorySize"="xxx" <=== replace xxx by the memory on your GFX card (i.e.
512 or 1024 etc)

health bars still not visible but at least game is playable

Hi,

thank you. In the graphics nothing has changed unfortunately but I have the
impression that the camera isn't so choppy as before.

By the way at this point it could be a wise thing for Wine Internet site to
branch the appdb: one for nVidia and one for Ati so the users can be redirected
more easily and of course when the companies see that with their graphic cards
Linux is no more playable maybe they will work to make better drivers :)

I'm about to attach three files: one for the Options screen from the main menu;
one for Kair Morhen (I know you cannot see any fortress but I can assure that
the picture is indeed Kair Morhen :( ) and finally the log.

I just tested the demo o wine-1.3.23 + nvidia gt220.
That runs into bug 27784 (black screen); 'winetricks d3dx9_36' works around
that.  The game looks ok at first glance (see attached screenshot at 800x600),
but might have issues I haven't noticed since I haven't actually played at all.

With Wine 1.3.29, the issues with the missing bars and health targets still
remain.
Otherwise, the game is running perfectly (I followed the registry hints from
post 33).

These issues (missing progress bars and health bars for targeted creatures)
persist for me in wine 1.3.32 on amd64 with a nvidia card.
I am using native d3dx9_36, even though that did not change anything, and I did
not use any registry tweaks.

I am experiencing other bugs as well (something crashes every time I launch
anything, even winecfg in this prefix, and I have the 'puppeteer lines'
mentioned in another bug as well).

If I can provide additional logs or other tests, please tell me.

I experience the errors from comment #14 (missing health/toxicity bar, missing
experience, missing coloured rings for targets all the time, using a Nvidia
8800 GTS 320MB, binary drivers, on Gentoo, wine v. 1.5.12.

In addition to this, I sometimes experience the "puppeteer lines" from another
bug, as well as the "transparent characters" from bug # 32.

The first problems are annoying, but not really problematic, but the latter two
really make the game unplayable.

"Luckily", the latter two issues only happen sometimes: Either the issue is
already present when starting the game or not. Additionally, if it is present,
sometimes restarting the game helps.
On the other hand, yesterday I started the game five times in a row getting the
transparent characters every time before giving up.

I would really like to help debug these issues, which kind of logs/tests do you
need?

Thanks in advance!

I was able to solve most of my graphic problems using the info postet in Post
33. Then I could get rid of the "puppeteer lines" by switching the
Offscreen-Rendering-Mode to "Backbuffer" (Through PlayOnLinux).
Now, only the Life- and Toxicitybar (and the NPC-Circles) are missing, so its
totally playable!

I can confirm that logging out and then logging back in, and opening the game
fixes the transparency and "string" issues. It is the only way I've found to
reliably play the game (in addition to following all the advice above,
