Re: The Witcher 2 - Discussion Thread

^well already downloaded 4 gb of it, no going back now. :(

The Change log :-

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.

An option has been added to the game menu allowing game saves to be deleted. To delete a game save, highlight the relevant item and press the ‘Delete’ key.

The game menu now loads at a markedly accelerated pace.

The game now supports Logitech G35 headphones and other USB headsets with on-board sound cards.

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.

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.

Islamic–themed and similar textures have been deleted and/or replaced.

A number of fixes have been made in game dialogues.

Issue that blocked advancement to the next level at the start of Chapter 3 has been fixed.

Issue involving the occurrence of T-poses upon the destruction of nekker nests has been corrected.

Guards can no longer block Geralt when he is on a ladder.

Knives no longer affect friendly NPCs.

Bug related to using some containers has been fixed.

Ostmurk (an ingredient required to complete a quest) can no longer be sold.

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

Patch 1.3 incoming

only support for 4:3 resolutions confirmed yet.
 
Re: The Witcher 2 - Discussion Thread

Guys, if you're still playing this, I strongly recommend keeping SHadow and Lights to Ultra!

It's damn worth it, the game looks awesome.

CUrrently, I have everything enabled, everything @ max, except textures at High and Ubersampling off (and bloom off, don't like the effect, too much overdone).

The game is a great looked, and it's perfectly playable on my HD5850. Love this card, 1.5 years and it still ROARS!
 
Re: The Witcher 2 - Discussion Thread

Get the retails version and the official patch, which is merely 28.8MB and it removes the SUCK-U-ROM DRM. The 9GB patch AFAIK was for Steam copies.
 
Re: The Witcher 2 - Discussion Thread

^Wogay. But I guess I'll give this title a shot later, maybe after inFAMOUS 2. Any idea how long it'd take to completion? Asking this since it is an RPG. :ashamed:

You're asking the wrong person. This game made a mice-meat out of my rig, so had to leave it after the prologue chapter. But it's easily above 15 hours, from what I've heard. I guess the pros can pitch in.

OT: Begin inFAMOUS 2 now. I'm already around 18% into the game.

OT: Yeah by tomorrow hopefully. Aman has sent the copy. :p

My previous net connection BSNL 3G expired unfortunately. Applied for a new Reliance postpaid connection since 2 weeks but those buggers haven't installed it yet. :mad:
 
Re: The Witcher 2 - Discussion Thread

It's going to be long. And here's the BEST PART.

It keeps getting better and better. Now I play only an hour a day.

EDIT:

Heck, at Chapter 2, AND I CAN't STOP PLAYING!!!

Guys, if you are trying to lower settings and achieve 35fps and higher, I saw squat it. THe game is PERFECTLY playable at 24fps, and the VISUAL QUALITY is WORTH IT, max out as much as you can guys
 
Re: The Witcher 2 - Discussion Thread

Re: The Witcher 2 - Discussion Thread

^^ you are gonna play it. Start it, and do post feedback. THe price is low, so this may be worth it.
 
Re: The Witcher 2 - Discussion Thread

Witcher 2 is a great game but i personally feel that witcher 1 is better than witcher 2.
Even sword fights are not as good as witcher 1:2guns:
