I'd like to know where this patch is too. If something has changed such as the patch was integrated into the main download, that should be communicated with customers too. I've looked in the " gog downloader links", and near the bottom there is listed:

"Witcher 2: Assassins Of Kings, The - Enhanced Edition - Linux - patch:"

But there is no link beneath it.

So is there a game patch, or not?

JudasIscariot: Hi all,

We have uploaded a patch for the Linux version of The Witcher 2. Please download and install this patch at your earliest convenience :)

Changes:

Workaround for AMD Catalyst's broken ARB_texture_storage support. We detect Catalyst and disable this extension, for now. AMD have told us that this will be fixed in their next driver release.

Change to memory management - a much smaller "reserve" section is used, and our heap manager now uses regular mmap() allocations. Limited inhouse testing seems to suggest this is more performant and better with large texture loads.

Thanks and have a nice day :)

I'd like to know where this fix is as well. On the off chance that something has changed, for example, the fix was incorporated into the primary download, that ought to be spoken with clients as well. I've looked in the " gog downloader interfaces", and close to the base there is recorded:

"Witcher 2: Assassins Of Kings, The - Enhanced Edition - Linux - fix:"

In any case, there is no connection underneath it.

So is there a game fix, or not?

Well, it's been a while since I purchased the game, and I had no problems. But anyway we are grateful for the support.
I still hope CD Projekt will be very successful with native Linux games.

UltraComboTV: Needs to be updated again.
Agreed It is way out of date with modern linux distrobutions.
Currently crashes hard in Linux Mint 22.

As sad as that advice sounds - play the Wine Version of the game!
