The only error I see looks like this:
0114:fixme:rawinput:RegisterRawInputDevices Unhandled flags 0x230 for device 0.
Did anyone manage to run it with recent Wine?
I'll probably open a Wine bug about it.

dxvk loads the GPU more evenly, so performance looks better than eON in the starting scene (max settings, ubersampling off, 2560x1440, Sapphire Pulse RX 6800 XT):

It really improves visuals in the game:

Ubersampling was nice to look at, but I opted out of it because it turned my GPU fan on and the silence was much nicer than the visual improvement.

I don't have such monitor, so I never tried it.
As far as I could tell, not working with Wine.
The irony is that Witcher 1 did fine in ultrawide for the 3D part and only needed a fix for the cutscenes.

Would be cool if you got it running better in Wine+DXVK though.

Then again, wasn't Witcher 2 much easier to mod, because CDPR released proper modding tools for it? RedKit2 or something like that. Considering the amount of lighting mods for TW3 (I've not tried any, because I like the default game, mostly), it wouldn't surprise me if there are some of those for TW2 as well. Don't think I used any mods for that game. Or maybe some minor visual ones. Been too many years now, and for some reason I didn't enjoy the game as much as Witcher 1 or Witcher 3. It felt more free and open to me, instead of the locked chapters/area system. Well, that was there in TW1 as well, but that game was such a gem

All Witcher games has the problem that you eventually get madly overpowered, though. Less so in the first one really, and oddly enough the "problem" is arguably worst in TW3.
