The Witcher 2: PATCH 1.2 OUT NOW - plus a hairstyling dlc
Posts
Edit: The user in question had to remove the following things for the patch to work.
items folder
abilities folder
fx folder
magical_suit.dzip
merchant.dzip
roche_ajcket.dzip
alchemy_suit.dzip
troll.dzip
succubus.dzip
Nothing game breaking and nothing you'd miss not having, but free is free. Personally, I'd rather preorder DLC not be exclusive quests/dialogue anyway.
reeeally?
Is that overwriting stuff or is the game now going to take up 22gigs of space?
Wow I figured it out, name the exe "Launcher" exactly like that, remove all DLC and mods, make sure the shortcut isn't in the folder (will only be there if you moved it there) then it should work.
Praise the gods.
Only wish could you know, activate the thing, at least can play.
That right there makes it worth the download. Now if I had only left my PC on when I left for work, I could have started this patch remotely

As it says on the patch page, get it from GOG if you bought it from GOG. It'll be under the extra downloads for the game on your shelf.
And looks like they mostly got everything working at last thankfully.
Though their site once you finish registering seems to be down.
Also game runs slightly better still. I managed to get 55fps running outside vergen. Everything on medium wiith SSAO and Blur off. In combat it drops way down to 23 if its a stupidly intense fight but mostly its a steady 30 now.

I modded the game and patched up through gog without any issues.
I used the white hair mod, troll trouble fix and weightless items.

I just ran all the .exe's and the items turned up in a new game I started, though they didn't show as installed in the launcher (just leave them alone there). They may not appear in a loaded game.
I jumped to conclusions a little too quick. Basically, I'd installed a DLC that gave you a bunch of potions but didn't know it. Booted the game up and started playing Dice Poker with a character. Won and along with the Orens won text that appears on the left of the screen, there were all the potions in a neat list. Didn't realise it was from the DLC and not from winning poker.

It is one of the best RPG's ever created, so I'd say now. Depends on your money situation though. If you're hurting when it comes to buying two games, then maybe the answer is no.
I played Shogun 2 by the way. It's an okay game. But if you're choosing, I'd go with the Witcher 2.
I don't like to pass judgement on RPGs until I've played them through twice and given them about six months to percolate in my head, so I can't pass judgment on the Witcher 2 at the moment, but my interim opinion (so to speak) is that this is the best RPG since New Vegas (and New Vegas was the best since Morrowind).
Gonna go with BlackDove on this one.

Seriously?
Man I just downloaded the patch from GOG.com. It came in at 9 MB.
GoG is probably the best. That way all the money goes to the developer (CD Projekt owns GoG.com)
The DLC quest was free for everyone. The only thing you get with some different versions of the game are outfits and items in-game which aren't that consequential to the gameplay.
Also, everyone gets the other DLC free now: http://www.en.thewitcher.com/community/entry/34/
Hurrah!
Still idiotic that they included it as it didn't help them shit (game was pirated before 0-day anyway) and caused a supreme amount of problems for a buttload of users.
But at least they've removed it in its entirety now.
I wish there was a "just drink potions whenever you want" mod. Shit would make sense.

Didn't they do exactly this with the first one? I like to think of it as a huge 'Fuck you' to the publishers and their DRM mentality.
You want us to release with shitty DRM that ruins the user experience? Fine...Oh shit we need to patch *poof* DRM gone.
I'm of the opinion DRM should not be included in any way whatsoever with any games.
I know, an unrealistic wish.
Considering that this is as good as it gets, good on them.
But it obviously caused a lot of problems for a lot of people who bought the retail game. And that's just a big negative.
All right, people. It is not a gerbil. It is not a hamster. It is not a guinea pig. It is a death rabbit. Death. Rabbit. Say it with me, now.
