The Witcher 2 Should Now Be Offering Faster Performance

The Witcher 2 was released for Linux earlier this year but the quality of the initial Linux port was very troubling. Since then, the developers have been working to improve the Linux version of The Witcher 2 ahead of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

A Witcher 2 beta update released in July offered up performance improvements and now another beta released today should bring more in the way of better performance and responsiveness for Linux gamers.

The latest Witcher 2 beta out today has the ability to do threaded GLSL shader compilation on some hardware, optimized drawing of various tasks, reduction in mouse lag, improved reporting of missing OpenGL extensions, and a fix for a full-screen monitor selection regression.
