newvagaslps2: I got a new PC today(windows 8.1!)
Will the game run fine? I don't want to download until I know if it will work, or what I need to make it work.
DeMignon: A lot of people are running the game under Windows 8.1.
If you haven't yet, you need to install DirectX9 on your new system, because by default only DirectX11 is installed, which is missing necessary older components.
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109 The game sometimes doesn't recognize new hardware on newer Windows versions. If you run into this issue (a message about minimum requirements will appear when you start the game), you have to edit the shortcut, you're using to start the game. Right-click it and select Properties.
Edit Target by adding -dontForceMinReqs
E.g. "C:\Program Files (X86)\The Witcher Enhanced Edition\System\witcher.exe" -dontForceMinReqs
(Of course, the path might differ on your system, depending on your install location)
Eventually you'll have to check first hand if the game is working on your system. Windows 8.1 is rather new, so there's always a chance to run into new problems, e.g. with new graphic drivers.
Thank you very much. I will download and give it a shot now!
