Witcher 2 version 1.1 incoming, patch notes

26 May 2011

The Witcher 2 is about to level up, with a major game update due to launch provisionally sometime “this evening” pending any cataclysmic events, that fixes a bunch of stuff and adds some new features.

For the moment, the list includes:

•    Simpler and more reliable game installation and activation. Details to be revealed soon.
•    Fixed the free Troll Trouble DLC download. It is now included in the patch so there’s no need to download and install it separately.
•    Fixed an issue that prevented some users from downloading other free DLCs (the ones given out with some pre-orders, special promotions, etc). The launcher now properly refreshes the list of available DLCs and allows for installation.
•    Performance improvements: approximately 5% to 30% better framerate and faster game loading for many users, depending on their individual systems and game versions. Owners of retail versions can expect the biggest improvements.
•    Fixed random crashes occurring on some systems, especially after saving and loading saves.
•    Key mapping – allows the arrow and number keys to be used for movement.
•    Added the option to invert the mouse.
•    nVidia surround vision now works properly.
•    More accurate assessment provided by the “auto-detect settings” option will help improve game performance.
•    Removed a bug that prevented completion of the “Blood Curse” quest.
•    Fixed a bug that prevented the additional link in “Extras” from being unlocked after winning the dice game against the GOG.com monk.
•    GOG.com credits now work properly.
