I'm not sure there was much doubt of that--now I'd like to hear it from Canonical.

YYYyyyah.... I'll be considering switching to another distro too. If I'm an enterprise user, I would VERY much look toward something else like Debian right now too.

Oh hey! I use my 1040STe to do this all the time! Would be nice to try it on Linux!

I came for the plot but I suspect this game is full of plot holes!

I'm not sure I understand. How is this different from the Windows platform complaints of the same type? I still chuckle at all the various comments from the Windows users complaining about extreme problems with WB's Arkham Knight (my favorite saying that it was like watching a PowerPoint presentation, the graphics were so broken!). This seems like a an unfair double-standard showing that they have very thin skin for business acumen. This won't serve them well on any platform in the long run. I ended up purchasing Witcher II despite the problems because I had faith that they might fix it. I was proven right and for that, I would have given them good word or mouth, reviews and more purchases. I know that this is being reported as just rumor but if this truly is their reasoning and it's later confirmed as true, however, I will no longer be interested in buying their products on ANY platform, much less Linux and I will be sure to mention their attitude and thin skin.

I'm getting reasonably decent results depending on what level I use for settings. However, on my Linux tower that I'd built myself running i5 CPU+nVidia GTX760 (2GB, driver v361.28)+8gb RAM, it runs surprisingly better than it does on my Asus G752VT laptop with i7 CPU+nVidia GTX770M (6GB, driver v361.42)+24GB RAM, and worse... it randomly locks up my laptop no matter what settings I use for either the game options nor with the nvidia-settings (it doesn't ever do this on my tower system). Depending on settings, my tower gets between 24fps (ULTIMATE) to around 120fps (default), while my Asus laptop gets between 30fps (ULTIMATE) all the way up to around 145fps (default settings). I tend to play it on ULTRA with a pretty decent sustain rate of about 30fps on my tower and around in the 40's for my laptop but I've stopped playing it on my laptop due to the persistent random system lockups (I can't even ssh into my laptop or wrestle back control from a virtual terminal, ie: ALT+CTRL+F1). In all cases, there are moments (rare but disturbing) when it sputters and chokes on framerate/animation for me as well.

Update: I upgraded the driver to 364.19 on my laptop and it still experienced random hard lock-ups--even during loading screens or even if I just let it sit there at the main menu. Eventually it crashes for sure sooner or later but I can't figure out when or why.
