Witcher and Wineskin?

[bluebomberman]

Now that The Witcher is selling on gog.com for $4.99 for a limited time, I was was wondering if anybody has tried to run it using Wineskin or something like it?

(Please, no "Buy Windows" replies. I'm not spending $99 to play a $5 game.)

Yes, needs some configuring to install:http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=17527

There is a ready made wrapper here, but it's outdated:

spending 99 dollars will net you far better performance if you don't realize that. Anyways, if u have a vendetta against eye candy or getting the most out of the hardware u have, use the wine wrapper posted above.

there are +s and -s both ways... if you really want to get the max performance and don't care about having to run Windows (and everything that goes with it) or losing all access to OSX while running, then go for it. A minor performance hit can be preferable to some to just have it run as any other OSX app.... but yes occasionally it can be more than minor.
