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 System Specs: |
|
OS: Fedora release 28 (Twenty Eight) x86_64 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). |
|
Installed the game and played the prologue. So far it has worked perfectly. |
|
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? |
|
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. |
|
@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 💀
I'm runnig on:
Many thanks |
|
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. |

I've played the game for about an hour. Worked out-of-the-box perfectly. @grabmateusz |
|
Performance is good enough for me to consider it playable now. The visual problem has a workaround. @MordragT can you try to test again? |
|
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 -
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. |

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. Proton log: |

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? |
|
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? I had language related problems before on Steam Client but those are mostly fixed. ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux#5827 ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux#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. |
|
@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 |

There is a graphical glitch at the beginning of dialogues. Normally, when you start a dialog, the image starts out letter boxed, and then gradually fills the screen. This works correctly when using wined3d, but when using DXVK, the image is at the top of the screen instead of centered, and the bottom of the screen is filled with garbage. I'm playing the GOG version in Lutris, but people are reporting the same issue for SteamPlay/Proton on protondb. So currently, this needs PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1. I am running at 1920x1080. |
Can reproduce it in main menu by pressing Shift there or at intro videos. Holding Shift brings mouse cursor back. Loading a save solves the problem (everything is back to normal). Didn't test with a new game. Probably related to OTS mode, where holding Shift activate "free camera" with a mouse cursor. |
This is a game bug. It happens in Windows too. I remember being very annoyed by it. |
|
Don't have orange trail with group steel fighting style. Probably a game bug too, but i'm not sure. |

Proton 5.13-5 breaks full-screen, fine with 5.0-10. |
|
Hello @sebaro, how exactly is the game misbehaving? Please add |
|
@kisak-valve If I change the game resolution to 1280x1024, the game flickers on start and it gets in full-screen but not correctly, I can see parts of the desktop. Toggling full-screen off/on in game setting fixes this issue but I have to do it every time I start the game. Attached logs for both 5.0 and 5.13: Thanks. |
|
I'm having the same issues with other games (Railroad Tycoon II: Platinum [7620]) and Proton 5.13, so it's not game related. Should I open a new bug? |
|
I've been having a similar issue to the original on this thread. Can't make much sense out of my launch logs. I'm attaching it here, can someone help? |

I was fighting the same issue for the last 2 weeks on KDE Neon based on Focal LTS. I finally fixed it by installing "OpenVR Benchmark" and running it even though I have no VR equipment attached. That installed the MS Runtime redistributables. Then I uninstalled that and attempted to relaunch Witcher. That updated the MS DirectX installation and the game started working. It was a long shot based on the only error in the log being related to not opening libopenvr_api.so and it just happened to work. Hope this helps others running the game, and even better if it helps the proton/wine devs. |

Witcher not starting CommonLib.dll is missing |
|
update: my steam library for witcher is located on a NTFS disk that is mounted with ntfs-3g. |
|
@vilasfe I've been struggling to get the game running on my fresh Manjaro KDE installation since yesterday. During the installation I noticed that Steam did not run the MS Runtime installer for some reason. Later on, I saw the OpenVR error, but assumed that it was just a red herring. Today, I followed your instructions and installed "OpenVR Benchamrk" on Steam. As you said, it triggered the installation of all the necessary MS stuff. Now the Witcher works just fine. Thanks! |

Hello @LinAGKar, based on the note at doitsujin/dxvk#1684 (comment), are you able to reproduce the misrendering you mentioned at #255 (comment) with newer Proton/DXVK? |

Did a quick test with DXVK v2.1, and didn't see that issue |

Proton 7 is the last release Witcher 1 is working for my system. It looks like when I checked Proton 8 at its release, I neglected to report the only regression in my library. Retesting with the release of Proton 9, it seems Witcher 1 is still broken. The only hint I get from the log is that it can't find MSVC libraries, but retesting in Proton 7 they seem to be installed just fine. steam-20900-proton7.log I have no command-line options other than logging and am just using the standard Proton releases. |
|
Hmm, I had a quick look at ProtonDB, doesn't appear that people are having problems running on Proton 8, so what might I be missing for my system? |
