Hi,
I have been having load of problems installing Witcher 2 on Linux (specifically Mint 17.2). I have been able to get the game onto my machine, installed all the dependencies that are listed on the main page and when I run start.sh I get the welcome window open asking about settings and launching the game. The settings open fine, but when I click on the launch game it thinks for some time and then a window opens and immediatly closes. Launching start.sh from a terminal I get an error:
*** BREAKPAD CRASH ***
/home/samrtroad/GOG Games/The Witcher 2 Assassins Of Kings Enhanced Edition/game/CrashReporter.x86_64: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.20' not found (required by /home/samrtroad/GOG Games/The Witcher 2 Assassins Of Kings Enhanced Edition/game/CrashReporter.x86_64)
I have tried installing and looking for anything with GLIBC in it but nothing. I must have missed a dependency or something but I tried to reinstall the list on the Gog webpage and it says they are all up to date.
Don't know what else to do? I am only doing this as I have started to use linux on a low power machine for general stuff and a windows machine for more powerful games. Just would be nice to have a good game on the linux machine so I don't have to boot up windows!
