It won't make any difference, but I'm writing a thank you email for The Witcher 2. I'm playing it these days and works really well.

Fortunately I'm on nVidia. Steam launches with that flag, so I'm upgrading the system now... I hope I can make it work without the compat libs.

Question: do the games run for you if you just run Steam as:

STEAM_RUNTIME_PREFER_HOST_LIBRARIES=0 steam

without altering your installation with compatibility libraries? Looks like the Steam runtime ships the old version of the library, but it does not get loaded as the host library are preferred.

Stuttering solved for me with this update (Pentium G3258 @ 4GHz, 16GB RAM, GTX560). Grand job.

Quoting: Comandante oardoI think your problem is the CPU... The minimum requirement for Linux is a core i3 or a FX 6300...
Like all Feral ports, this game needs more powerfull hardware than the Windows version.

That's very unlikely: besides the fact that the CPU is pretty good for single core gaming, if it was a CPU problem I'd get a low framerate while playing, not this stuttering phenomena. It's similar to having the PC swapping: everything freezes for a moment, then back to 100fps for 2 seconds, then freeze again. It's an anomaly that I believe can not be tracked down to simply "not enough CPU". I also happens in the menus, so it's really not matter of particularly intense scenes.

The game is stuttering for me at the point that's unplayable. FPS continuously vary between 100+ and 1, with the game almost freezing for a few milliseconds. Lowering resolution and graphics settings doesn't help much, enabling vsync makes the game more stable, but still unplayable. I got an overclocked Pentium G3258 (4GHz), 16GB RAM and a GTX560 with 1GB VRAM, it should run smoothly.

Anybody else with this issue?
