When i start the game on Steam, it shows that is running witcher 1.4.5.1304 version. I check this by alt+tab the game and look into task manager (using windows 8 ).

But when i search for the witcher.exe file, it shows that is running 1.5 version. So why Steam launches version 1.4.5, or it's a steam/windows 8 bug ?

I got bored today, reinstalled witcher 1, put my savegame, and compared all journal entries with the one's in witcher wiki. And i have a question, is there a way to put some journal entries now with some hack ?

This is what i'm missing

Potions
-fisstech
-perfume

Oils
-specter oil

Beasts
-dagon worshipper
-midday bride

Bosses
-hellhound
-witchman

Special Ingredients
-skullhead talons
-trace of the beyond
-vapors of the hunt ??

Well, i think there is some bugs here. First i already have some fisstech now in my inventory, used one, and still not god the entry.Second, i searches about Dagon worshipper, and says that he has the ability to heal himself, i can clearly remember encountering 2 Dagon worshipper's killed them, and i don't got the entry. Third, the hellhound, i clearly killed him in Chapter 1, why i don't have the entry in the journal ?
Witchman, what is that ?


That skullhead talons, i watched some youtube vids, and the creatures did appear in the ice map in the game. And the trace of the beyond from the hellhound, i clearly looted that item, and made the potion and drank it, so why i don't have the item in the journal?

Vapors of the hunt, really no idea, sucked here. I remember i encounter the wild hunt in act 4, but i wasn't able to kill him, only some ghosts if i remember, and in the epilogue, i don't remember to pick some loot.

Ok, there is some hack to add those into my current save game ?

I've noticed some perks listed on wiki don't have Means of acquisition, list, how to i get those ?

As you know when you finish a quest it gives you level points to level up...

I noticed if i decide "yes" or "no" for that specific quest to finish, it gives me less or more level points.

I want to make all the quest with the max. possible level points when i finish them.

Is there a way ? If i talk for the entire game in a positive way and helping people without money, then i get max level points from that quest ?

Or it's random, i can found this on wiki ?

Right now i am struggling to understand what causes the LOD rendering in the game, like grass, rocks, etc.

Right now i'm in Act 2, and while i am running through the land, i can easily see the grass and rocks rendering just in front of my eyes.

And the strange thing is:

I am already using a insane AA and AF in the nvidia driver + max shadow cube and shadow size at 2048 for shadows in the user.ini + foliage and mesh quality set on max, value 10. The fps is not a problem.

But even on these insane settings the strange renderings appear.

So the final question, for all users to understand, this issue, it's caused by the engine ? Or the game it's just like that ?

See the pics below.
