The Quality Of The Witcher 2 Linux Port Is Upsetting Many Gamers
I haven't checked myself if this is true or not but there is no doubt in my mind you're right. With catalyst 14.4, I doubt the game is that bad. I personally haven't been able to play the game at all, because Steam for whatever reason thinks I don't have GLX extensions or direct rendering, when glxinfo says I do (and because of this, I'm unable to play any of my steam games). I have low expectations for this game to play well on my hardware, but I'm honestly ok with waiting until it gets patched up a little.
I bought the game to help the cause, but I'm likely only going to play it on Windows.
just follow this hint:
"have you tried deleting libgcc_s.so.1 that's inside the steam-runtime folder ? "
i had the same problem. it is a steam-runtime bug. it provides a outdated library. the steam-beta also already seems to have a fix for that. but above should work if you want to stay on steam-stable
The moral of the story kids remains the same. If you want the best graphics option for linux, that will give you the least amount of trouble, nVidia card with nVidia blob. I just hope with Steam taking off that eventually the other graphics vendors start taking their driver development for linux more serious.
AMD fglrx has already a fix on the way that should come with the next driver release

Yes, I also removed libstdc++ which was also known to cause issues. Neither worked. I enabled steam-beta last night but it didn't download anything. I'll see if it works later.
To me, it's really stupid of steam to include its own libraries if they don't work, and I think it's even more dumb that it comes with SOME libraries, but most are just links. What's the point of only going half way? No wonder things get broken.
