Witcher 2 on Linux issues

[staykoff]

Hey everyone,
Just bought Witcher 2 for Linux on GOG. I installed it on Arch through Lutris by using the pre-configured link for the "native" linux version here:
https://lutris.net/games/the-witcher-2-assassins-of-kings-enhanced-edition/

 

According to the lutris website the game "installs and runs flawlessly"

The game installed without any problems and when I first ran the game I got an error popup for multiple missing dependencies. This was fixed by installing steam-native-runtime

Now when I run the game I get the game launcher box and when I click
"Launch game" I get this weird error:

Any ideas on how to solve this?
Thanks.

P.S>

I am running AMD CPU and GPU if that's important.

dont use lutris? their scripts often dont work. Just get it manually from GoG or better yet(by ease i mean, not ideals like DRM free) use steam which installs all the libraries and software. 

 

also, your cpu is quite old. witcher 2 on that hardware wont be good experiences.

Witcher 2 is pretty old two. If it doesn't properly due to insufficient hardware that's okay. But I want to make it run at least. I will try to run it without lutris. Now that you are mentioning it I forgot to try this. Will see what happens.

I have Witcher 2 in my steam library. I play it for a couple of hours only(got bored easily)

 

It is very easy to run. Just install steam. It takes care of everything. See if you can register your copy of Witcher 2 on your steam client.
