So I just installed the witcher 2 on kubuntu 15.10 and when I go to launch it I get unresolved dependencies. I tried to install a couple myself but they were already up to date.

Sorry, solved with installing the 32bit libraries.

May sound daft but... I'm having the same issue here. How would I do that?

Some research on askubuntu suggests:-
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install whatever whatever whatever

or, just:-
sudo apt-get install whatever:i386 whatever:i386 whatever:i386

But I'm having trouble pinning down exactly what 32bit packages those libraries are part of. (ie. what "whatever"s I need to install)

For the record, I'm on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (with xfce4 rather than Unity, aka Xubuntu 14.04)

--- EDIT ---
Okay, I found my answer on a Steam forum. :(

WMP suggested the following, and it worked for me:-
sudo apt-get install libsdl2-2.0-0:i386 libsdl2-image-2.0-0:i386 libcurl3-gnutls:i386

I would think (for the GOG packagers) this confusion could be avoided by adding this line inside the postinst.sh on "if" condition that uname -p results in x86_64 rather than i686. ;)

As a warning to those using other Linux distributions (presumably not Debian based) I believe they can return AMD64, rather than x86_64.

Hey,

I had the same problem as OP on Linux Mint 17.2 64 Bit XFCE. I installed from the sudo and now the game crashes with a report game crash window.

Any ideas?

GOG do tell us not to install via sudo, and warn that the game is unlikely to work if we try.

Reasoning:-
Superuser is a privileged mode, for making system wide changes. It should not have access to accelerated graphics, and certainly shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the internet. Therefore, it's not a place to play games. (The same should apply to the Administrator account, or UAC token in Windows, but they don't give a damn about your security or privacy)

It is logical to assume that the installation should be performed by an admin, (root / SuperUser) but it usually needs to be performed in the context of the person who is going to play... so, not a SuperUser. ;)
