I think the story continum will be better and you'll realise the importance from Where to where CD PROJECKT RED has ended up on just one game, the difference is like the Sky and the Earth.

Say it feels like yesterday when I bought Witcher in Chandhigar :cupidon:.

Re: The Witcher 2 - Discussion Thread

Re: The Witcher 2 - Discussion Thread

M in love with the game...the first one was great this is just Epic...Can't wait for some more sleepless nights after last night....
Running @ Max. settings incl. Ubersampling...Without SSAO @1080p and getting about 40+FPS...
 
Re: The Witcher 2 - Discussion Thread

Just started playing this morning, looks impressive!

I played ME2 twice, DA:O twice, Looks like this is the next candidate :)
 
Re: The Witcher 2 - Discussion Thread

This has to be played at least twice to explore all the story branches. The new engine is gorgeous, its a real feast for the eyes.

I rarely used potions other than Swallow and Maribor forest in Witcher 1. And signs - only Igni and Aard. Here, I am made to experiment all potions, all enhancements, all signs, else its just suicide in the battlefield.

I ll take back what I said. As I level up, it just gets easier. Except the bossfights, I dont use potions anymore. But, its fun nevertheless.

BTW a witcher nexus already. Cool..

Re: The Witcher 2 - Discussion Thread

so how much fps are u guys getting...

will my gts 450 be able to handle this @ 1920 med settings...

btw which is better

1650 or 1280 @ high/very high settings

or 1920 @ mid or low settings

in general(i mean any game in particular)?
 
Re: The Witcher 2 - Discussion Thread

I would any day play a game at 1680x1050 MAX over 1920x1080 Med. Or even 1440 Max over 1920 low/med.

But some games may look better at 1920x1080 med than 1440x900 High/VHigh.

And sorry mate but a GTX 450 will be able to handle just 1440x900 low-minimum at the very most. that too only if you have a decent rig other than the gpu.

--- Updated Post - Automerged ---

maybe not that bad, but may be 14x9 low-med or 16x10 low-minimum with decent FPS I guess

Re: The Witcher 2 - Discussion Thread

^Yup, me too. I hate reducing the resolution.

BTW, Patch 1.1 is expected soon. Supposedly, it will improve frame rate.
 
Re: The Witcher 2 - Discussion Thread

new AMD 11.5b hotfix is available for AMD cards,supposed to improve performance for single cards but main focus on CF Performance

fileserve.com/file/CxEbSrT

tried it out,and not much difference...

before hotfix: avg-46 max-69

after hotfix: avg-45 max-71

Everything maxed out,No Ubersampling,SSAO ON,@ 1400x1050
 
Re: The Witcher 2 - Discussion Thread

Just saw the GameTrailers review and holy shit, this game looks amazing. But seeing how the graphics of this game would make a mice-meat of my graphic card, I'm in two minds to sacrifice the visuals or not. :(

I haven't played the first game, but I'll definitely try this one out. How difficult is the inventory management and upgrade system?

yep, i've played lower resolutions, but it simply doesn't look good. And besides, after doing some tweaking with AA and other settings, every game becomes playable.

The Witcher 2 patch 1.1 incoming | PC Gamer

Patch 1.1

Simpler and more reliable game installation and activation. Details to be revealed soon.

Fixed the free Troll Trouble DLC download. It is now included n the patch so there’s no need to download and install it separately.

Fixed an issue that prevented some users from downloading other free DLCs (the ones given out with some pre-orders, special promotions, etc). The launcher now properly refreshes the list of available DLCs and allows for installation.

Performance improvements: approximately 5% to 30% better framerate and faster game loading for many users, depending on their individual systems and game versions. Owners of retail versions can expect the biggest improvements.

Fixed random crashes occurring on some systems, especially after saving and loading saves.

Key mapping – allows the arrow and number keys to be used for movement.

Added the option to invert the mouse.

nVidia surround vision now works properly.

More accurate assessment provided by the “auto-detect settings” option will help improve game performance.

Removed a bug that prevented completion of the “Blood Curse” quest.

Fixed a bug that prevented the additional link in “Extras” from being unlocked after winning the dice game against the GOG.com monk.

GOG.com credits now work properly.

Upto 30% sounds great man!
 
Re: The Witcher 2 - Discussion Thread

Towards the end of the chapter 1.

I need some input, I'm keeping it in spoiler tags. But if you have played boss battle in chapter 1, You can read it.

I supported Vernon Roche in the situation where you have to give sword either to Roche or Iorveth. Any one chose Iorveth. What are the consequences after that?
