You should add lib32-gtk2 in depends, the launcher needs it.

Updated the PKGBUILD to include the patch as well so the game will be patched to 1.0.0.4. Added libcurl.so.4 to fix launching issues. Build upon version 7.23.1 (see below). http://pkgbuild.com/git/aur-mirror.git/plain/lib32-curl/PKGBUILD?id=6707050b2be285305465f2d5c1780b0e610668f2 Regarding the save game problem can anyone else confirm mirandir's problem?

Ahhh that's what I thought.

mirandir commented on 2014-09-14 08:26 (UTC)

I copy libcurl.so.4.2.0 and rename it to libcurl.so.4.

Some people seem to use files from the steam folder in order to get witcher 2 to run from GOG. http://www.gog.com/forum/the_witcher_2/the_linux_version_of_the_witcher_2_is_out/post64

When you say you copy libcurl.so.4 into the game folder. Is it the libcurl.so.4 or libcurl.so.4.2.0 because libcurl.so.4 is just a symbolic link.

You can check start.sh and tools/gog_com.shlib in the patch, they just copy files. For example, my own PKGBUILD : http://pastebin.com/UnUi9JmW For libcurl, I compile curl with this old version of PKGBUILD : http://pkgbuild.com/git/aur-mirror.git/plain/lib32-curl/PKGBUILD?id=6707050b2be285305465f2d5c1780b0e610668f2 and I copy the libcurl.so.4 file in the "game" folder. It works. If I launch TW2 from /opt/, it saves in $HOME/.local/share/cdprojektred/witcher2/GameDocuments/Witcher 2/gamesaves/, but savegames have a size of 32 bytes, and the game cannot load them. If I copy TW2 in $HOME/Documents/ and launch it, new savegames have a "normal" size and the game can load them. It's realy strange, can someone reproduce this problem ?

If the patch only does what you then it should be rather easy to incorporate it in the PKGBUILD. I have seen that people an old version of curl for the GOG version to run. Don't really know how to fix that ATM. I'm not sure I understand your final problem correctly? If the game is installed in /opt/ the save games are corrupted? Doesn't the GOG version save in $HOME/.local/share/cdprojektred/witcher2/GameDocuments/Witcher 2/gamesaves/?

You have to copy all files in the patch's folder "content" in the "game" folder for apply the patch. But I have some problems with the game : - it launches only if I compile an old version of curl and if I copy this old lib in the "game" folder - if I launch the game from /opt/, it corrupts savegames. The game works great if I launch it from a writable folder.

Updated with a post_install notice regarding patching.
