As a GOG user I only got the game much later anyway (GOG didn't even support Linux at that point), so when I got it, it was already in better shape (but still had some bugs). Besides, did they go back and fix major issues? They did. So not sure what you are complaining about. The end result is a playable game. Too often developers release a buggy game and never fix it.

I did not complain. I claimed it was initial a desaster and _made_ _me_ _not_ pre-order TW3 any more. That'd be all.

I voted with my _money_, as any consumer should do it, instead of whining on some bbs. Not that CDPR would care. Sales rocketed anyway.

Now I got it for dead cheap and on discount. DLCs included. I waited. And boy I would have bought this for any price with a port when it was fresh. In fact I even bought TW2 twice when it's port was _released_ just to show my appreciation. And that was when things went south.

Can we burry that can of worms now?

Quoting: bekoAnd that was when things went south.

So in the end, did you play TW2 after bug fixes?

Things really went south, when they dropped The Witcher 3 port for Linux, after advertising it for 2 years in a row first. That was highly annoying.

Not really. I started again after the worst was sorted out but there was a noticeable input lag that drove me mad. Made it to Flotsam and stopped again. Never looked back.
Shmerl Oct 20, 2017
Never had input lag there. But it's somewhat demanding, you need a good machine for it.

Yeah.. I know I'm a little weak on the CPU side nowadays ;)

Sure, why not. I don't know if you used the last version. You can get it on GOG to be sure: https://www.gog.com/witcher/backup

In the beginning the input lag was terrible. Especially the menus were really bad. It did get fixed eventually though. I gave it a try much later and everything felt pretty good. Still have to play through it though. With the not-happening of TW3, it got backlogged.

The i7-2600K does the job just fine. It hasn't been the bottleneck in any game for me yet, possibly because my GPU isn't anywhere near as powerful as yours.

I actually played through TW2 on my old GTX 760 after VP got the worst problems sorted out and it ran just fine. I didn't play on maxed settings of course.
