The Witcher 2 wine

So I downloaded the "linux port" of the Witcher 2 and was getting horrible performance with a gtx 770, so I downloaded the windows version with steam and tried to run it with wine.

When I try to run the Witcher 2 directly with wine, I get:

$ wine Laucher.exe
err:menubuilder:init_xdg error looking up the desktop directory
err:module:import_dll Library mfc100u.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\Program Files\\Steam\\SteamApps\\common\\the witcher 2\\Launcher.exe") not found
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\Program Files\\Steam\\SteamApps\\common\\the witcher 2\\Launcher.exe" failed, status c0000135

So then I try to install vcrun1010 (which I'm told contains mfc100u.dll).

$ winetricks vcrun2010

The first time I run it it says to install msxml3.msi. So I copy it over to winetricks' cache and try again:

$ winetricks vcrun2010

Any ideas?

Note: I'm running the CSMT patched version of wine available on the AUR under the name wine-d3d3stream-git

Re: The Witcher 2 wine

Search the forums for the "err:msidb:get_tablecolumns" error message. It is a bug out of combination of latest wine and gcc if I recall correctly. Downgrade wine using ARM or compile the previous version yourself.

Re: The Witcher 2 wine

If I may, I'm in the same case as you and I now run it without CSMT patch, and it already runs flawlessly, not a single slowdown, which plainly shows how bad the "port" is.
