Installer will no longer run with this script, but if I install it as an unlisted program it installs just fine.

Problem with invisible characters with eyes ball. I have to repeatedly run the game until they see the characters. No hint regarding invisible characters helped.

1) With Wine v.1.7.6 after some minutes og playing, sound being distorted, constantly audio underrun issues (in debug log were errors "err:alsa:wine_snd_pcm_recover underrun occurred"). After some googling, I found this Wine bug https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35852 , and this https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10495 . In comment of latest, I found solution - installed Wine 1.7.52-staging (with experimental PulseAudio support patches I guess), and played most of game with it. No more suffered sound underrun.

2) There was problem with puppeteer-lines and missing models, as described here https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=26114&iTestingId=89846. Workaround ibidem.

Serious graphical glitches, sticky / stuck key controls, and randomly glitchy audio. The first is the most serious, causing stretched polygons to randomly potrude from character models to screen edges in a way reminiscent or shadows or 'pupeteer strings'. Switching to another virtual terminal and then back again has a small chance to temporarily correct the problem.

(With nvidia 310m, ubuntu 14.04.1 / linux 3.13, proprietary drivers installed throiugh control panel.)

Go to
Configure button > select TheWitcher_gog virtual drive > Display tab > Video RAM
and double check that your videocard has the amount of onboard memory you declared. Alternatively, try not declaring available memory ("default") No guarantees, as this problem is randomly plagued users of this game with no pattern that I could recognize...

Thanks Petch. Maybe you can help me figure that out actually. My laptop is a Samsung Q430, but there's nothing particularly special about it. It came from a friend so I don't have the original bill of sale, but most references I can find to it online claim it ships with 512MB so that is what I have always assumed. lspci has to say:

Kernel driver in use: nvidia

So, if I am interpreting this correctly, there are two graphical subsystems, each of which has 256MB assigned to it? Weird. I have read about nVIDIA optimus and having two graphics chips for different use-cases, but several reviews of the Q430 online have explicitly stated that the Q430 does not support Optimus technology. There is no reference to it, let alone any way to disable it in the BIOS. And when I installed bumblee along with the standard proprietary drivers, bumblebee specificly told me that my graphics subsystem did not support the technology. So based on that, I am pretty sure its a standard mobile chip... :-S

In any case, I have tried running GOG_TheWItcher with PlayonLinux with only 256MB set in the settings as you suggest instead of 512MB. It didn't appear to make an appreciable difference and may even have been worse. But I didn't run it with 256MB long enough to form a solid opinion on whether it made the problem better or worse.

I will try selecting "default" instead next time.

Sorry I'm not sure why my copy-paste buffer lacked the relevent details. This from NVIDIA GT218M category:

Region 0: Memory at bc000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M]
Region 1: Memory at c0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M]
Region 3: Memory at be000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=32M]

And this from Intel Corporation Integrated Graphics Controller category:

Region 0: Memory at fc000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4M]
Region 2: Memory at e0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M]
Region 4: I/O ports at 1800 [size=8]
