It installed without issue on my GOG version.

That patch got pulled earlier today, I wouldn't download it. You might have to reinstall the game when the finished patch arrives, if they made any changes to it

NewYears1978: All the fighting is silly...give it up guys. Regardless of the "side" you are on.

CDPR is a great company who has shown they care about their customers. PERIOD. The patch will release when they are confident that it is ready without causing more problems.

Acting like children will only lock the topic.

(Yes it is frustrating that it is not out, but would you rather a broken patch that makes things worse? So maybe they shouldn't give dates..still..it's not a cause for all this silly debate)
Already kind of happened. Remember one fellow who got the the patch before they pulled the links. If I didn't have the GOG version, I might have been one of them.

StonerPimp: I just downloaded and installed the international one (i'm always on g3d), worked like a charm, it makes the DRM the same as the gog version so the startup times and performance are the same.

So far all seems well.

MihaiHornet: Huh? GOG version has no DRM.
Exactly.

Anyway, seems on the gamepad you can no longer use the right stick (i ment left :D) to select spells etc in the quick menu, you can only use the dpad, not liking that.

That was not a change anyone was asking for... hoping that's a glitch and not a feature.

Spell selection was one of the best implemented UI elements on the controller.

radioraz: so are the servers down ? I just received my copy today and I can't activate it :-s

MihaiHornet: CDP servers are down, the game uses SecuROM activation, different servers.
The catch with Internet Activation DRM, is that when the servers are down so are you. Which is why I hate it and keep my XP off the internet. If I get something that needs Internet Registration, the game won't work off the bat and I get my money back. If everyone said "Internet based DRM = no money" it would be gone. "no" is an amazing word.

Yeah I wouldn't use the guru3d one, won't let me remap keys for NUMKEYPAD even.

From readme;

2) Patch 1.1 Corrections

1. The process of installing and activating the game is now easier and more stable. SECUROM copy protection has been removed entirely, making the game DRM free!
2. The “Troll Trouble” DLC package is included in the patch, bringing to an end any and all problems related to downloading this content.
3. Problems related to downloading other free DLC have also been resolved. The game launcher now correctly detects and updates specific modules.
4. Game efficiency has been improved. Game now runs 5-30% more efficiently and game loading has been accelerated. Efficiency increases will vary depending on system configuration and game version. Owners of boxed versions of The Witcher 2 are likely to notice the greatest improvements.
5. Bugs causing the game to crash, especially while saving game progress or loading saved games, have been corrected.
6. Movement key mapping has been expanded to include cursor (arrow) and number pad keys.
7. Options have been added for inverting the X and Y axes of the mouse.
8. NVidia 3D Vision Surround now works correctly with the game.
9. The hardware configuration auto-detect function has been corrected, resulting in improved game efficiency.
10. A bug preventing the completion of the “Blood Curse” quest has been corrected.
11. After beating the GOG.com penitent monk in the mini-game, the relevant link now displays correctly.
12. GOG.com credits have been corrected.


(2. explains the delay if they are having trouble with troll dlc as it was to be included with patch)

New fun idea for this forum: Let's have a virtual betting pool (not real of course) as to when the patch will be ready for release. I put down, "Friday, May 27, 2011, 4:30 PM". Let's see who get's the virtual jar of money.....
Posted May 26, 2011
Tried the guru patch.

No difference to me. Still getting horrible performance even @ low settings with overclocked i7, 2xGTX 295 and 6GB DDR3.

This is getting effin ridiculous.

Take THAT Sony!! (Bug fix 1, and I like the fact it is top of the list ;-) ) May your DRM never again darken another game's doorstep under ANY name (Release Control, SecuROM, subclass 1, 2, 3 etc..etc...) Perhaps Bethseida will avoid using it after this little fiasco.

Patch 1.1 all good for me.
http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=345045
65-72fps on 1080p, max all except motion blur and ubersampling. Had to turn on vsync cause anything above 60fps for me is a waste in process also to lessen the load/heat on gpu.

BTW, 570GTX @ 1080p max all except motion blur + ubersampling..

Wowzer, that's odd. You've got a sweet pair of video cards there and I assume the latest, or recommended drivers. And you're trying it on low settings....

Its all good, I'll point out that my time was in EST. So GMT that would be May 27th, 2011, 20:30 GMT.

24-hour time is probably best, along with GMT.

Patch 1.1 is out now? Or is that the original release which was subsequently removed from their servers.
