Hi there

I have an issue with path 2.1 :/ it has been successfully downloaded ("Patch_2.1 is ready to be installed") but I can't install/run it.
Do I remember correctly, that previous patches have run automatically after starting the game launcher + of course completed download?

I’m asking because I would like download the enhanced edition without downloading the file. But I don’t get the question to update the game to the newest version…

Anyone has an idea?

Cheers
Chno

All I did to get it to work as do a fresh install (meaning my game was v1.0) and then let it patch to the EE and everything worked. So my advice for people having trouble, uninstall the game ENTIRELY (delete EVERYTHING pertaining to The Witcher 2, even the "Download," folder created by the EE [you'll have to download it again]) then just start the game up and let it patch from v1.0 to the EE; solved all my problems.

Hi' i have a problem installing the enhanced edition patch.
during the installation i get an error like this:
"C:\The Witcher 2\CookedPc\pack0.dzip
an error occured while trying to copy a file:
the source is corrupted."

then it offers me to ignore but says its not recommended, what file do i need to manually redownload to solve this problem?

thanks.

Edit: never mind' i solved it. just downloaded the files again one by one till update worked.

Hi, I haven a problem with downloading V2 of the patch. I have gotten to 1.35 with no problem, but as I install V2 it shows an critical error message saying "game is invalid or incomplete." I'm not sure how to fix this, so any information to fix this would be wonderful.

These ?
0-> 1.35 - http://en.thewitcher.com/patch1-35/
1.35->2.0 - http://en.thewitcher.com/patch2/
If using Russian (RU) or Japanese (JP) then you need the corresponding patches instead .

Yes, I've downloaded all of them. But for some reason 2.0 is giving me trouble and not installing all the way.
The moment it finishes and tries to go to the patch installer it goes to the error message. I'm in USA.

Hi, I have version 2.1 installed and I was wondering if that's considered the EE? Because the launcher doesn't prompt me to auto update... Is that an issue with the launcher itself?

Thanks.

No the TW2EE is an entirely different animal . No need to to use the launcher to update . Follow the link to get the EE

Thanks, but should I be worried that my launcher won't auto update ? Must my firewall/AV settings...

Well you can add the launcher exe to your firewall exceptions and the av too if it has a tendency to block connections . Might also check your router if you use one .

Hello Guys,

I just got a Witcher 2 Enhanced Edition yesterday so I'm wondering should I also get the first witcher 2 game? and also if I am going to patch it should I start in 0 -> 1.35 and then the rest? because everytime I play it and then I decided to play tutorial it stops in the loading splash so I am wondering if I am going to patch or what, I tried skipping the tutorial and then it worked, but the arena and tutorial are having the same issues (stuck at loading...)
Hope you know how to fix it

Thanks guys

You don't need to patch anything, everything it is already updated to the latest version if you bought the EE.

Regarding your problem: could you list you sys specs plz? Also, try disabling full screen mode.

[PistachioNuts]

The solution I found for the loading screen in tutorial is I just downloaded the latest voice over here and patched it again. Though the arena is still the same.
Here is my specs:
Intel Core i5 @ 2.27 GHz
4 GB Ram
NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M

There you go hopefully we can fix it soon and thanks for helping secondchildren

Might be becoz of your GPU, slightly under the min sys req. You can try this way: disable uber sampling first and low the rest to the minimum; set the screen resolution to 1280x720; play window mode.

As for the tutorial, you can skip it, it adds nothing to the game (I find it boring and annoying).

[sygnus21]

Actually I would highly recommend the tutorial as it gives you an insight to the gamepaly. You will more than likely find that having played the tutorial was helpful to your gameplay. And be aware there are some difficult parts in the game.... starting in Act 1. It also gives a good indication of what level you should play at.

Also based on the GPU listed (NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M) this appears to be a notebook/laptop? If so, you can only get so much gaming out of it. And yeah, that video card is a little lacking for the game.

And yes, definitely disable Uber Sampling!

Disagree. I've played the game since version 0 and found pretty comfortable without it too. It has a sort of tutorial in the Prologue too, not as much detailed as the external tutorial, but effective the same.

[sygnus21]

Then we'll agree to disagree agreeably.

Peace

@secondchildren

Yeah I tried disabling the uber sampling yet the arena still does not work
so I kinda played with it and what I did is install the critical rebuild patch 2.0
and yeah the arena started working, however, the intro video was somehow deleted and some other stuff too such as extras
then I updated it straightaway into 3.1 patch, yet the video was still not there and then it somehow removed the text in the game, you can only see the options in the main menu when you highlight them with the mouse pointer...
I managed to make the arena worked but by patching/updating it, that's where the new problem occured, I just wanted to play the arena, have the latest update, with the intro video *sigh* I actuall don't know what to do now...

The 3.1 patch does not get installed until you have at least 3.0 (EE) installed first . Only then can you apply the 3.1 patch

EDIT : I would uninstall the game first then disconnect from the internet and disable antivirus and UAC then install the game as administrator after installation enable antivirus and UAC and reboot computer and reconnect to the internet then retry the game .
