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.

I dont think i'll get any more than 50 fps then :(

Why would you need anything more than 50fps? Consider yourself lucky if you get 50fps with a smooth gameplay, it's more than enough.

Did that, looks better with a minor increase in FPS. Although I normally turn off Motion Blur, I missed it somehow. Thanks !

Re: The Witcher 2 - Discussion Thread

the human eye cannot differentiate anything higher than 60 fps...so anything around that should be enough for any game

playing with everything maxed,uber off,at 1440x1050 @ 45-50 fps

1600x1200 gives me 30-35fps
 
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Somebody over here said that witcher 1 looks too old and outdated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

And which version are you having?
 
Re: The Witcher 2 - Discussion Thread

^^it has been observed that most of the people having the retail version of the game has observed a significant boost after the patch.i have posted before i am posting again kindly go through here too.The Witcher 2 Performance Issues SOLVED.
there is also a certain version which is said to give the same kind of result.kindly google it.

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!

Do these at your own risk.

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.
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.
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.

@Tarcxy
dude, please answer this:
Did you spare Stennis? Did you spare Sile?

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.

Patch 1.2 is coming soon! List of fixes from NeoGaf
New DLC!
"Barbers and Coiffeuses"
Some traders also provide barbershop services. For a small fee, Geralt can get them to change his hairstyle. Search notice boards for information about barbers and coiffeuses offering services of this nature in a given location. In Flotsam, in Chapter 1 of the game, these services are available from the antique book dealer Einar Gausel. In Chapter 2, look either for Sambor in Henselt’s Camp or for Felicia Cori in Vergen. This apprentice sorceress also provides hairstyling services in Loc Muinne, in Chapter 3 of the game.

Patch 1.2 Corrections/Amendments (June 3, 2011)

All previously released DLC packages are installed with Patch 1.2:

"Blue Stripes Combat Jacket"
Ultimate Alchemist's Outfit"
Ultimate Mage's Outfit"
"Ultimate Swordsman's Outfit"
"Finisher Pack"
"Mysterious Merchant"
"Troll Trouble"

Patch 1.2 adds a new free DLC package titled “Barbers and Coiffeuses.” To take advantage of barbershop and hairstyling services, look for Einar Gausel in Chapter 1 of the game, Sambor in Henselt’s Camp in Chapter 2, Felicia Cori in Chapter 2 if you travel to Vergen, and Felicia Cori once again in Chapter 3.

Game saves are now compressed automatically, lowering the amount of disk space they utilize.

A number of fixes have been added to the key binding functionality (actions can now be mapped to number pad and cursor/arrow keys).

Analog sticks on gamepads now work correctly in the GUI panels. yay!

A number of game balance fixes have been introduced in the Prologue.

Lock on targets is not lost when the distance to targets increases.

A number of fixes have been made in blocking functionality during combat. Also, player character responsiveness in combat has been improved, and Geralt can attack more than one target during normal combat.

A number of corrections have been made in the statistics displayed in item diagrams in the Crafting panel.

The Witcher 1 saves are now imported correctly.

An auto–save has been added before the fight against the draug.

Flare bomb duration is now 2 (two) minutes.

Issue involving the equipping of bombs (or other items) even if they were not present in the character Inventory has been fixed.

Bug related to using some containers has been fixed.

Ingredients required to complete the “Melitele's Heart” quest have been added to the game.

A fix has been introduced in the “Troll Trouble” quest whereby the she–troll’s head can be won in a game of dice poker.

The Ghost of the Banner can no longer be killed by wraiths.

Issue involving the Operator being neutral and thus susceptible to being killed before any conversation occurs has been fixed.

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.

The progression break following failure to complete the ritual with Anezka has been fixed.

The progression break during the dialogue on the beach in the “Hung Over” 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.

So True,

I'm done with Roche's path and started off with Iorveth it's so much better.
 
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..
