The Witcher 1 is out of potato

[Shannow]

I never finished TW1 and I decided to give it another try on my new system. But it seems like CDP decided it'd be a good idea to kill the servers so I can't register, so I can't install the EE ... :/
Anybody know what's going on?
Wasting two days to torrent a game that's already installed is kinda meh...

Is it really dead? TW2 popularity seems to be weighing quite heavily on their servers right now - they've turned off the image display in the auto-patcher and still sometimes it takes as long as 10 minutes to set status to "connected". It may well be due to this.

What's all this ? Can't you just get the 1.5 patch ?(=EE right..)

Also if you have $5 to spend (again) on TW1 then get it from GoG.

The 1.5 patch downloaded straight from their website for me and removed all DRM.

1.4 is the EE and 1.5 has some small bug fixes, adds some more adventures and throws out the DRM.

Fan-made adventures. I think I can do without Merry Witchmas and The Wedding

1.5 won't install because it doesn't "recognize" the installed version.
Since 1.5 patches 1.4 (EE) I assume I needs 1.4 installed first. 1.4 needs the registration, down servers won't let me register...

Spending additional $5 because the fucking DRM buttfucks me as a legitimate customer? Yeah right, like that's going to happen. It's more like I'll add "games that require registering to patch" (which I considered an acceptable anti-piracy measure) to my "only acquire via torrents and laugh at the legit customers"-list.

Torrent's at 23%. Tomorrow by this time I'll be playing, no matter how little CDP want me to.

if you bought the original release, you're fucked for the time being. 1.4 installs fine without any of that online activation/registration shit. That's what you get for buying games with drm

 

[RK47]

I'm not even sure if it's worth replaying. But hey, you already own the game.
Recently finished it and didn't get the fun.

 

[a budda]

can't you just apply crack?

[m_s0]

from what I understand the game needs to be activated during the installation, which means you need a cracked installer to make the original release install

Or try registering again. Their servers have been going up and down for the entire week.

But frankly I would just get a torrented EE and apply the 1.5 patch. It's not like you haven't bought the game or anything.

This is exactly why I'm not touching TW2 and all other DRM-infected garbage.

Gamecopyworld --> no registration patch for EE

Link? Didn't find any "patches" that sounded right there.

EDIT: No need. I found the Fate unlock code myself. Now only to see if it works...

Isn't it funny how a patch that, among other things, removes DRM has DRM on it?
