First of all, hi everyone and thx for this project that is bringing a little more games to linux in an easier way. I wish to thank also GNU_Raziel for the terrific scripts he made.

So, now with my problem i have a strange issue with the witcher installation. I own the normal edition so i start with the normal script. Installation starts, directx are updated and stop. Nothing cames up to start installation ( note CD is detected correctly tho i can install it via wine ).

I attach my config :

Athlon x2 4600 ( 939 )
4Gb ram
NVIDIA 8800GT 512Mb
Fedora 11 x64

Thx for every help i could eventually get.
