dude, disable SSAO. Its not worth it. I'm playing with pretty smooth gameplay with my age old 4870! Cant believe you guys are having issues! Anyway, for your settings I'd say disable SSAO and motion blur if you are not a huge fan of it. Use the FPS gained to increase Texture Mem Size and maybe increase LOD distance also.

Re: The Witcher 2 - Discussion Thread
Why would you need anything more than 50fps? Consider yourself lucky if you get 50fps with a smooth gameplay, it's more than enough.

Re: The Witcher 2 - Discussion Thread
Did that, looks better with a minor increase in FPS. Although I normally turn off Motion Blur, I missed it somehow. Thanks !pretttt said:

Re: The Witcher 2 - Discussion Thread
Somebody over here said that witcher 1 looks too old and outdated
have a look at this
http://asia.gamespot.com/features/6315831/the-witcher-2-then-and-now/
and thats not even the enhanced version!
dont look at the outdoor screenshots...btw still too good for a 2007 game
And have a look at 'The Witcher 2 Settings' page too
Dunno about you guys
Low Medium High Ultra w/o Ubersampling Ultra
But the ''low'' setiing looks the best to me among the five

Tip:-try these
Again i may be wrong but people having non i5 or i7 2000k series cpu's if you can then kindly try to oc the proccy upto which you think is the best .
Then post the results here.
it has been observed ocing the proccy to 3.5ghz gives a boost of 6fps min and 10fps max!

Re: The Witcher 2 - Discussion Thread
Reloaded the save from Chapter 2 and completed Roche's path. Its completely different and wonderful. Personally, I liked Iorveth was better. But, Roche's path had a lot of huge decisions to make.
For those who take Roche's path, dont read the Journal entry (the last para in boss fight quest) after the final boss fight. It contains a spoiler for Iorveth's path. IMO, its the spoiler for one of the greatest moments in the game. So, dont read it if you plan on replaying with Iorveth's path. Really careless of CDP to leave it like that.

Killing or Sparing Henselt was a huge huge decision. I choose to kill the soab. But, theres a war coming with Nilfgaard. I cant think how much the story will turn based on this particular decision in the next game. Hope CDP utilises our saves better next time.

@Tarcxy
dude, please answer this:
I have to say, it will be very very interesting to see how CDP carry on the story from here in the expansion/sequel that is sure to come. There are so many different combinations possible, so many important characters can be alive or dead, it is kinda insane.
I have seen 3 endings myself now. Will try to see some more in this weekend.

"Barbers and Coiffeuses"

Analog sticks on gamepads now work correctly in the GUI panels. yay!
A number of game balance fixes have been introduced in the Prologue.

A number of fixes have been introduced to prevent selected NPCs from being blocked (king in siege tower, knights when destroying a gate in the Prologue, etc.).
The “Three Sisters†quest has been fixed so that the door does not remain locked forever once the quest has been completed.
A number of progression breaks have been fixed, including instances of blocked meditation, inability to save game, and blocked combat after use of static cameras (e.g. game could not be saved after completion of the “Indecent Proposal†quest).
The progression break during the fight against the dragon in Chapter 3 (exploration not working properly) has been fixed.
The progression break during the fight against Dethmold (whereby he sometimes remained behind his barrier, doing nothing) has been fixed.
The progression break (black screen) in the "Little Shop of Dreams" quest has been fixed.

Re: The Witcher 2 - Discussion Thread
Applied the 1.1 patch and noticed a minor performance bump of maybe 3-4 fps. The problem I have with this game is that the fps is very inconsistent. One moment I am getting 48fps and in the very next scene the fps drops to mid twenties, this takes away from the experience of the game. For now I have decided to give this game a rest. I just hope that Skyrim is better optimized. Considering how oblivion raped the systems when it first launched, I fear Skyrim may have high requirements but then again, skyrim is a multi-platform port so maybe this time the requirements won't be that high.

Re: The Witcher 2 - Discussion Thread
the game works perfectly if above 25fps.As for oblivion even a 8800gt fought to give nice fps at maxed settings.it was buggy for the consoles also.
But oblivion was so beautiful that its bugs were overlooked.does these games have anything to do with the system requirements?These kind of games are termed as improperly optimized.

Oh yeah, how did I forget Stennis? I didnt like him from the start, but I spared him. Dont know how he escaped from the dungeon and went to become a King.
Hell, in one of my playthroughs, all the northern kingdoms have a ruler. Kaedwin, Aerdirn, and even Temeria kinda has one. And in another one, none of these kingdoms have a ruler. Only Redania has Radovid. If the next game features the war with Nilfgaard, these are game changing decisions. As you said its just insane..I only hope CDP utilises our saves more efficiently next time..
