REDDorigen: " If the solution I wrote earlier won't work please try this:

1. Open registry edit tool (regedit)
2. Find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CD Projekt Red\The Witcher 2
3. In properties there should be entry named "Serial". Right click it and chose "Modify".
4. In value field type your cd key.
5. Save changes.
6. Find HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\CD Projekt RED\The Witcher 2
7. Delete entries "InstallStatus" and "SerialNumber"
8. Then delete HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\CD Projekt RED\The Witcher 2\Downloads.
9. Open folder My Documents\The Witcher 2\Downloads and Game Directory\Cooked PC and delete files with extension .dlc
10. Launch TW2 and register game from the launcher using your cd key
11. Check if DLC works in game"

8. Worked for me, I removed the two highest numbered entries in that folder.

Thanks for your help, now clearly I have the Witcher 2 installed but I cant find that line in my registry um what do I do?

That's weird. You mean "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\CD Projekt RED\The Witcher 2\Downloads" right?

I think he means the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE entry... I don't have it either (on Vista 64) btw, and I'm also experiencing the endless dlc loop for the Merchant DLC

It seems to fail on the verify part of the install.

Neither do I (on Win7 64).

Anyway I only did number 8 in that list and it solved my problem.

aye I mean the entry eXisor means and I just in frustraiton did a fresh intsall of the witcher 2 (havent played too far) and now NONE of my downloadable content is able to install (no merchant, no finisher moves and no Troll Trouble) whereas before I got 2 of them installed.

Also I am now finding that my connection is constantly timing out and my speed is intolerably low atm its literally only 5 kb/sec, I think the game is fantastic but atm I can not play it due to this bug.

I did do everything else in that last but it has not worked I thank you for your help, :( but alas nada

Sadly, point 8 not a win for me :-(

The troll dlc worked fine, but Merchant being a pita.

As I understand it. it's the language audio and subtitles "DLC" that causes the launcher d/l to loop, and those entries shall not be in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\CD Projekt RED\The Witcher 2\Downloads

Yep, I deleted all but entry 19 (the Troll dlc)... I'm loathe to delete that since I've already done it ingame.

I tried this but it didn't work for me! IT just repeated again. Maybe I did something wrong? For me it just restarted like it did before!
OH and for the record, I cant get either the Troll DLC or the Merchant one to work! :( I dont know! Maybe I missed a step or did one incorrectly?
