Game News The Witcher is Fully Enhanced

[Micmu]

The Witcher is an interesting game (similar to Gothic) i would like to play someday but the bugs people talk about and the long loading times are a bit too much. Maybe when there's a Witcher version in SoldOut. Yet another potential good game who was crippled by an horrible game engine.

Witcher's bugs/performance problems are nowhere NEAR Gothic 3. You can safely give it a shot.

 

[Suchy]

looks like 1.3 is so far much more stable than the "enhanced" one. someone fucked up a bit. a pretty huge bit. i can't even install EE.

but true, even 1.0 worked better than G3.

 

[Fyz]

Yeah, most other companies release bad patches. Mostly none re-record voice overs and re-release the game with some extra stuff that you don't have to buy. As for the hype, sure they went overboard - does that make the patches, or the game, worse?

I don't think they deserve praise for the re-released dialogues. The original ones were so bad, that they should have released it like this in the first place.
Before you say, that they are better than other industry members for fixing these things, I think that releasing a game where the text makes sense should be an industry standard, not something they deserve respect for.

In the end they added the features the game should have come with a year ago, only it's just buggier then before. The fact that they hyped it for a year and delayed it for 4 months makes it simply more ridiculous.

I won't lie - I didn't like the original game. I had some interest in the world, but the text was so poorly translated, that I didn't get to feel anything for any of the characters, most of the dialogue didn't make sense at all, and the translated slideshows were so poor, that I could only guess which of my choices caused the consequence in question. Go ahead and blame the publisher, which in my case is CDP. On top of all this I didn't find the combat fun, challanging or interesting at all. But hey, at least I didn't have any bugs after 1.2.

I just wanted to play the game properly translated with the EE, but I still can't because now it runs horribly slow with graphic glitches on every possible setting.

Also, i've downloaded both patch and language pack in more or less 1 hour @3xx kb/s

Oh, feels soo good looking at all this foam on your mouths. Pure ADHD.

I just ordered the Update pack for liek $6.

 

[MasPingon]

That's nice that you have paid for free update

 

[Gerrard]

No stability problems for me so far. Or any other problems for that matter.

Maybe I'm just lucky.

 

[bozia2012]

Yeah, I also think they should've ship all this fluff for free, but hey $6 isn't much.

 

[Suchy]

After some hassle I actually managed to install the EE. So far no problems, no graphical artifacts, blur or anything else. Loading times are improved.
I gave a quick check on english voice overs+polish text - matches very good, but I played too short to be sure about the translation. Voice acting is ok.

They seem to have worked for most people - also, they were the product of Atari afaik.

In the end they added the features the game should have come with a year ago, only it's just buggier then before. The fact that they hyped it for a year and delayed it for 4 months makes it simply more ridiculous.

Hype - well, if they put out a new version of course they will hype it to sell. Who wouldn't? The trailers were stupid but hey, like, whatever.

I just wanted to play the game properly translated with the EE, but I still can't because now it runs horribly slow with graphic glitches on every possible setting.

And thus you're back to complaining about bugs again, bugs which will probably always remain in every RPG until Drog gets his hand on it.

Take the EE for what it is - another patch, albeit hyped to sell a new version (with more goodies for those who are interested in it) and with some extra in-game material. Nothing to make you want to cut CDPs nads off, which most h8rs in this thread seem to want. "OMG THE GAME IS BUGGEGEGD evn though its the EE CDP sucks."

If you're on the same "side" as Skyway, take note.




Also I haven't played the game yet.

Dry, what GPU and drivers are you using, if I may ask?

 

[Suchy]

8800 GTX with 175.19 driver version.
Also iZ3D 1.08 for stereoscopic gaming, but there is no difference if I turn it off.

 

[DarkUnderlord]

I can understand people complaining about this installation shit, but DU's complaints about the registration are still ridiculous.

I'm secretly working for CD Projekt by distracting people with petty Bethesda-style marketing complaints so they focus on making personal attacks against me, rather than the fact the patch is a steaming pile of shit that wasn't worth the effort.

OH SHIT THE CAT'S OUT OF THE BAG NOW.

 

[Kingston]

???

 

[ghostdog]

Someone should make a "Let's Play registering the Witcher EE in those devilish evilish forums"...

LOCUE !

When you say you ordered the update pack, does that mean you ordered all the extra EE goodies + EE patch to supplement your original copy? In other words, are they actually selling a way to "upgrade" your old version along with all the physical goodies for cheap? If so, how do you go about doing that? If not, then I fail at reading comprehension.

 

[Ausir]

The update pack is only sold in some countries.

Any more info? Like can I import it to the US? Can I get it in English? I demand Answers!

Polished to perfection to the extent that they accidentally wiped away the blood.

Nice one guys. At least it didn't take another year to patch it again.

 

[Skankster]

So far, so good. No glitches or problems to speak of and no melted face unfortunately, I was looking forward to making screenshots of the bewitched Witcher having fun with the locals, would have made a brilliant Lets Play!

Downloading was nightmarish, but now that it is done, I will burn it onto CD. It does piss me off that this patch needs to link back to homebase every time I wanted to replay this game, so that crack will be included on my CD.

Now it looks like when i get the EE i will have to create a backup disc of the game with these two patches or tweak/edit the game data folder and installer so it installs them automatically when you install the game.
Getting the officially uncensored import version doesn't seem to be worth the extra 10 bucks gogamer is charging, if all you need are these two patches that don't look to be THAT huge.

Dunno about other countries, but in Poland you can get just the additional fluff boxed for $6 (well now it's 8$) - 1.4 patch, the music CDs, the DVDs the new walkthrough and 2 stickers. I don't think they ship it overseas - and Atari wouldn't allow that The picture is from full EE.

Anyway, niggers - I just dowloaded the patch and the polish voice pack (~2h). I had to register the game AGAIN. I had it already done, but when I tried to install the patch it told me it wasn't (maybe because it's on another PC?). I'm at the "Please wait 2h" bit now.

Question - will I get both short adventures? I'm going straight 1.0 -> 1.4 and on installation I could only choose "Side Effect"

 

[Fez]

You need to download one of the adventures separately.
