The Witcher 2 was released on GOG for Linux recently for DRM free fans, but sadly it was an older version that the GOG team put up. With all the performance improvements in the new versions it was needing an update. GOG have contacted us to let us know a patch is now available. Looks like the team at GOG need to get a little bit better at communicating with developers they work with so that this doesn't happen again.
I still think it's fantastic how far the Linux version has come in such a short amount of time. This bodes well for future Linux games to come from Virtual Programming.
Check out The Witcher 2 on GOG now.
How are you finding The Witcher 2 with the latest beta improvements? I hope there is more to come to make it fully playable at 1920x1080 on my 560ti, but at least it's now playable at 1280x720 on high settings for me, as originally i couldn't even run it at low settings.

Correct, but this one isn't available on Linux, right? Or is there any FOSS implementation I'm not aware of?

It is available on Linux through Wine. Arguably, it's not any worse than using eON or any other way of translating Direct3D into OpenGL, especially if it works well.

Fair enough. :)

For those asking, it's pretty much what it was on wine + CSMT patch now in the native version. Though, playing it on Windows7 I get out a better performance than in Linux - I still get about 20 % better performance in Windows, which is not a big deal though if you play with 40 or 48 fps ;-).
