As I noted on a similar Steam thread, I'm running Ubuntu 14:04 64-bit, i7, 8Gb, GTX670 with 1920x1200 resolution. Game crashes on Tutorial, works if I skip it. Performance has been fine so far - I've tried both medium and ultra settings but couldn't see a big difference between them (I don't tend to notice blur effects and such like), so I've stuck with medium thinking that it might help with framerate later down the line.

I'm about 5 hours into the game so far and it's been a pretty superb experience. No issues with keyboard either, which is weird, since it seems to affect a LOT of people.

Obviously I've been very lucky.

Folk need to stop going on about the wrapper too. It's utterly irrelevant. What's relevant is the quality of the final product and in this case, for a lot of people, that's what's been lacking.

Quoting: Silviu

Quoting: vaRPlease, liam, stop the hired guys from posting. Same thing on the forums. This won't work with decent pc specs and is just awful. CDProjekt should be ashamed.

Censoring replies from anybody, unless they behave poorly, would be a really bad thing.

Wait, so vaR is suggesting that CD Projekt RED is hiring folk to post positive comments about their Linux experience?

Well, vaR, I hate to pop your bubble, but that's not happening here. If you think it is... well, good luck with that tinfoil hat.

As for me, I've been contributing to this site for over a year now and my experience on The Witcher 2 has been superb. It has two issues - it crashes on the tutorial for me, and sometimes it will announce a crash when I quit out of the game (which is irrelevant really). But the quality of this game is amazing. I'm really enjoying it so far and as others have said, this is still early days for CD Projekt RED and Linux. I expect that they're building Linux support for The Witcher 3 at an even more integrated level now and hopefully GoG support will be just round the corner.

Happy times!

It is hard, but I never felt it was particularly unfair. You tend to die when you run out of ammo, but if you've run out of ammo, it's because you haven't glitched enough baddies in the first place.

Very smooth game, very, very replayable. One of the most slightly-infuriating "just one more go" type of games, that I love - up there with Rogue Legacy in my opinion.

And they keep adding new content for free! It's like FTL all over again.

This was the second ever Kickstarter I backed and like you, I'm waiting for full release. It was originally planned for October last year, but as long as the spit-and-polish pays off, I'm happy to wait for an epic result. I'm not going to ruin it by beta-testing! :D

Pretty miffed that the current bundles don't see to show platform support. Maybe it's just that Team 17 has no support bar Windows, but all they're showing is the Steam logo. Frustrating.

Brilliant article, guys, sorry I couldn't help out with this one! A little, cynical demon on my shoulder suspects that The Funding Crowd might not have "impacted" the funding rate as much as the stats would suggest, however. Instead, I think our articles act as an awesome filter of what will succeed.

I mean, we tend to only feature the projects we think look amazing, so I think that naturally slants the results towards success.

And while I've only helped with the last 12 articles (which surprised me - feels like longer :P) I know there have been a couple of cases where I've said "that looks great, but with one week to run, it's doomed to fail, so let's drop it". Usually when it's utterly doomed though, like $2000/$150k with 5 days left, but it does happen.

Great stats though guys. Fantastic work.

Happy to get added, Liam, but suspect that the curse of Flexible Funding will strike here. You never know though.

Quoting: AnonymousIf you buy this you are all bunch of ***ers

...said the anonymous guy. Uh huh.

I'll wait a day or two after release to see what kind of state the Linux version is in. But since they've hired Terry Hendrix, one of the original Icculus crew, things are looking pretty positive for the Linux version to run parallel with the main development.

Very excited for this one.

Having spent more time on Killing Floor than any other game in my library by a factor of probably around 3... this is the greatest news I've heard all year.

KF1 has severe texture issues on Linux but I've been lucky to avoid all the resolution issues that plague some.

Fantastic news. Gonna have my wallet ready for this.

I mean, I was playing this last night! :-)

We covered this on the Funding Crowd #18 article too - http://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/the-funding-crowd-18-sep-3rd11th.2409
I remember that I was absolutely gutted to discover that it was a Canadian dollar project and I have trust issues with my credit card, so I couldn't/wouldn't pledge. Damn.
