I think witcher2 is a good example of how good gaming can be on linux, I had very good frame rates and the game looks amazing. I was playing this with an nvidia card using nvidia drivers. But as the article points out, we are at the mercy of the developers supporting OpenGl which there is apparently not a large motivation to do so.
- lmedinas 12y agoExactly, when the port is good quality then people get a good experience. I can tell the same about Blizzard games on OSX or Civilization V on Linux. I also still remember about America's Army a decade ago was also a great port which afaik as done by Ryan "icculus" Gordon. Usually these people have a lot of experience porting Windows games to Linux/OSX.
- zanny 12y agoThe Witcher 2 port is a proprietary WIne like wrapper around DirectX that reinterprets it into OpenGL. The Linux performance of Witcher 2 is abyssal, usually half or worse the framerate on Windows.
