    Ouch, not like they couldn't've afforded a blur on top.

      For a game that is otherwise pretty gorgeous (and is aging quite well IMO, unlike Skyrim which was pretty bad on release), the dithered shadows is a real eyesore. I wouldn't mind having it as an option for lower end machines, but a more conventional shadowing effect would be preferably if it is technically possible for the engine. I'd even take the F.E.A.R. brute force method of layering translucent textures.

        I see JPEG compression artifacts but no problem with the shadows?

          Nope, they are not JPEG artifacts, at the edge of the shadows there is dither when "Sharpen" is actived in the settings. Disabling it makes it go away.

            Some FXAA tests from way back, read info in the lower right side, click on the cog in the upper right side -> View Full resolution: http://imgur.com/a/SpScJ#0

            It gets fixed using Ubersampling but that means you have a powerful GPU to begin with: http://is.gd/M3UOEU & http://is.gd/ZJOAqw & http://is.gd/OD0zT9 & http://is.gd/CG4L3k & http://is.gd/ZuTy3z

                today i had to restart steam just to see that witcher 2 got removed from my linux list, when i got to the steamdb page i can see that linux got removed from the witcher 2 entry does that mean that witcher 2 does not come to linux?

                  It's (probably) still coming, they just removed it from Steam for whatever reason.
                  It's going to be re-added when it's out - aka (likely) when gog start selling Linux games.

                    Actually love that game, tried playing it in linux on wine but at average 10 fps at all settings and 17 frames at lowest settings & VGA resolution, it was quite unplayable.
                    Any idea wheather they added opengl renderer or merely optimized dx engine via their togl translation layer?

                      What hardware do you have? You'll ideally have a midrange or greater nvidia GPU and a fast CPU. CSMT is also a must, it gives a large performance boost with this game (IIRC it was close to +100% on my system)
