k.e.i.n: 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.
I couldnt install it on my GOG version.
I get "installed game version is invalid or incomplete", i tried both patches at guru3d, same message.
Heck i even ran the patcher.exe in the game folder that always worked b4 and get same message.
I'm guessing its simply because my launcher cannot connect.

MikeP999: Patch 1.1 is out now? Or is that the original release which was subsequently removed from their servers.
It was posted 2hrs ago on guru3d (its a well-known reliable site for graphics and gaming)..

New patch worked for me (GOG version) checking it out now

Ppl please do not use whatever is on the guru3d.
We'll have another thing for our GOG version. Copied from the support from thewitcher site:

The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings ReadMe file
Update - May 25, 2011

This patch is designed for all game editions except for those available via GOG.com and Steam. A version for the Steam edition is available via the Steam client (work in progress as of May 25), while a version for the GOG.com edition is available for manual download at http://wpc.420c.edgecastcdn.net/00420C/files/P1_1/Patcher_GOG.exe... and on The Witcher 2 product page at www.gog.com (work in progress as of May 25).

Any copy of the game installed and activated prior to the release of Patch 1.1 must be updated using the relevant file downloaded manually either from http://wpc.420c.edgecastcdn.net/00420C/files/P1_1/Patcher_GOG.exe... or via the “Downloadable content” option in the game launcher (latter is a work in progress as of May 25).

PLEASE NOTE: Launcher-based auto-patching will not work on Patch 1.1.

Game copies installed and activated subsequent to the release of Patch 1.1 will be automatically updated to include this patch.

If you're not using steam version and have trouble installing patch 1.1 do this:
Uninstall your game.
Do a clean install and apply the day one patch
Make sure there's no old files in your Witcher 2 install folder.
Patch your game up to 1.1 with one of the patches :)
That worked for me .

BTW, 570GTX @ 1080p max all except motion blur + ubersampling..
Humm... nice performance... I'm with GTX 470 and getting about 30-50 FPS in chapter 1 on 1600x1200 all Max, Vsync on , Uber Sampling off.
Is 570GTX supposed to be that much faster than 470GTX ?

Octagon: 1. SECUROM copy protection has been removed entirely, making the game DRM free!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
OH HAPPY DAY!!!!!

Sorry for the outbreak, guys. And I want to say this is NOT schadenfreude... well, maybe a tiiiny little bit, but this is a great move from CDPR and other companies can learn from that. I know, I don't have retail version anyway and it is not even out yet, but this news is still elating. :)

I wonder if this will go through other gamer communities like wildfire. I mean, I don't know if that blasted SR behaves similar on other games, but speculation will run it's course... let me dream of a SecuROM free world for a bit... ;)

@groburn
Yes, 570gtx is same or a little faster as 480gtx, with lower temps + power consumption.
Also, your screen resolution is almost like 1080p

1600x1200 = 1920000
1920x1080 = 2073600


@mippoh
Yes, but why was it pulled?

Octagon: 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!
If this is true, then I give huge kudos to CDPR. I was not pleased to see SecuROM on the retail discs and when they said it was only to prevent pirates from playing before release, I said "If that's the case, then remove it right after release", never really believing it would happen. Wow, glad to see (hopefully) I was wrong and I have to say, this is an outstanding move by CDPR.

Not surprising, considering that since last week pirates can download pirated, completely securom free GoG version. SecuROM in retail version only hurts legitimate clients (not a suprising discovery, I know ;) ).

btw. If you want to laugh a bit, there is a Polish site that was posting user reaction to the delay in activation of collector's edition - people who bought Polish Collector's Edition were promised ability to unlock the game 24 hours before the release date. Guess what - there was almost 12 hours delay, accompanied by twitter messages from CDP such as a promise "you will play by dawn" (promise broken), "in 15 minutes we will let you know when will you be able to play" (promise broken).

So to vent frustration, this site was created: www.50mb.pl

(it's much funnier if you know Polish ;) )

eskiMoe: 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.

MikeP999: 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....
Yup. Recommended drivers.. And the frame rate drops constantly below 30fps with low spec settings.

I'm running dual GTX 460s in SLI mode. Anyone know if the patch improves performance for SLI users? My performance is overall pretty smooth, but I also notice that disabling SLI doesn't give me a performance hit, meaning that enabling it is not giving me better FPS either. I'm not sure of my framerate, I just go by "feel."

Ugh, why is the link working when it's still the wrong patch? According to my logic, a "pulled patch" is not available to download, no?
