Cool, now I'm glad I set it aside for a while, I'm only in the second or third chapter. The loading times were one of the biggest things that drove me away.

And I love modding tools.

The loading times where already drastically reduced in a patch, thats why I went back and started playing again.

Mine arrived finally. Any idea when this "repaired edition" patch will be released?

I was reading in a print mag (ZOMG) about a patch that restores the original script translation that was apparently censored up good.

PC Magazine, iirc.

I remember reading about some fan made patches that restore the script, but I think something like that might also be included in the 2.0 patch for the game.  Too bad they couldn't have just kept it original from the beginning, I do like the voice acting in the game overall. 

As to the repair patch, the email they sent out has May as the time of release.

Righto, into the shelf it goes for the next three months.

Shame I heard about this patch right after I ordered it. Damn thing would have been a good chunk cheaper by the time I get to play it. Or better yet, replaced by the fixed one...

New patch today:

Quote
Atari today announced the release of the D’jinni beta adventure editor and Price of Neutrality adventure together with patch 1.3 for The Witcher. The first official adventure and patch 1.3 are available for free download via www.thewitcher.com, with a separate free download available containing the D’jinni beta adventure editor. The adventure editor requires the latest game patch installed. We have also launched the site, where gamers may add or download their adventures.

“CD Projekt has always been oriented to gamers’ needs, so releasing an adventure editor for the modding community is an obvious move. It’s quite a demanding tool, however, and it will bring loads of satisfaction to many of the fans. After all, we made The Witcher with this tool,” said Adam Kiciński, CEO, CD Projekt RED.  “We’ve also prepared the first official mod with a completely new adventure which will be available to download for free.”

The Price of Neutrality is the first official adventure from the team at CD Projekt and features around two hours of gameplay during which the player is introduced to the other witchers in more detail following their brief appearance in the original game.  Populated with new NPC’s and other new graphical assets, the adventure takes the player into the little explored outskirts of Kaer Morhen in a compelling story with tough decisions and more than one possible ending.  The adventure text is localised among all in English, French, Italian, German, Spanish and Polish.  In the same download, patch 1.3 readies the game for playing the new adventure.

The English language D’jinni beta adventure editor will let fans craft complete new adventures for Geralt using the existing graphical assets, maps and environments in the game.  By creating new stories, cut-scenes, graphical effects, dialogue and gameplay actions, users of the adventure editor can let their imaginations run wild predicting the turmoil and tests waiting in Geralt’s future, or even filling in the missing years between the close of Andrzej Sapkowski’s last Witcher novel and the start of the game.

Just completed this the other day and must say I enjoyed nearly every minute of it (not the crashing everytime my main quest was updated) cool fight sequences and some decent storyline. One of my favourite games of old is one called Legends of Valour which was unplayable due to bugs but the whole idea of it made it nearly worth playing til the game perma crashed & in some ways. Witcher reminded me of it on an atmospeheric level, medieval slums and narrow alleyways with seedy dwarfs trying to pick up hookers. Also I like the way you aren't micro managing your inv overly much this can be a problem in some RPGs if you enjoy that sort of thing try NWN2. Some of the ingame visuals were awesome reminded me of "Ocarina of time" sun setting and moon rising you could sit there over the lake and watch this really immersive.     (slight spoiler>>>) The end sequence is long/cool enough to make it a just reward (I hate games that give you a crappy short end sequence after the hours you put in best one ever was Snatcher).

Hmmm wonder if they'll make a sequel that isn't bugged to shit

I'm going to escape, come back, wipe this place off the face of the Earth, obliterate it and you with it.

Not yet.  That'll be next month (or so I'm seeing from the forums).   Time to re-shelve it for another month then. =/

Nope.  The enhanced edition is delayed no new date yet (or so it said last week when I checked)

CD Projekt RED would like to announce that the release date of The Witcher Enhanced Edition has been finally set.  Consequently, the vastly improved edition of the acclaimed CD Projekt RED’s magnum opus has been set for the first half of September 2008. Setting the release date for September results from  the requirement of polishing all ten language versions and releasing The Witcher Enhanced Edition in all languages at the same time. The Enhanced Edition by itself will be a deluxe one, containing a lot of additional content not available in the basic version of the game.

:(

I guess I can wait to finally play it again.  I've waited 6 or so months already.

Just a heads up for those interested, the Enhanced Edition goes on sale on the 16th in NA, 19th elsewhere.

If you bought the original version you should be able to download all the extra content (~2Gb) on the 19th, according to their forums:
Quote
You bought The Witcher last year and now you're afraid that you won't have the opportunity to enjoy all the features of the Enhanced Edition? WRONG!

Wipe away your tears, little one, because we've got a nice treat for you. If you bought the original version of The Witcher and registered it at thewitcher.com, you'll be able to download all of the great content from the Enhanced Edition for free starting September 19!

That's right – FREE! No strings attached, just good old-fashioned FREE. Log in and download.

You may be wondering – “What do they mean by ‘all’ of the content”? This is what we mean:

-    Patch 1.4 (which turns the standard edition into The Witcher: Enhanced Edition)-    D’jinni Adventure Editor v1.4-    Two new adventures (“The Price of Neutrality” and “Side Effects”)-    Making-of videos-    ‘Inspired by The Witcher’ music CD-    Official soundtrack of the game-    Game manual-    Official game guide-    Map of The Witcher’s World

You may notice that “all” in this case doesn’t include the short story that is found in the retail version… unfortunately getting that released online would be some sort of massive undertaking involving numerous book publishers around the world. So it’s almost everything.

So! Anyone seen a place where you can get the Euro Enhanced version? (I don't care for nudity either way, but I like to see "what the artist intended." I also waste a lot of money on "Director's Cut" DVDs.)

I'm curious as well, since I purchased the original release from a Euro site - how easy it will be to make sure I get the Euro update.

From what I remember Stormwaltz, it wasnt very hard to find a Euro downlod site for the game.

They may still have the download sites linked on their front page, that's how I bought it way back when. 

As to the patch, assuming it will matter, I wager the files you can access are related to what cd key you used to register.  I don't think any art assets are changed for the Enhanced Edition, so I don't think the 1.4 patch would mess with them.

So far my search has come up with a load of nothin'. No links on their web site except to NA digital distributors (selling the censored version), it's not even available on Amazon.ca, and while Amazon.com has it, they won't sell anything to Canadians (we're shafted with their ghetto .ca, which has 1/3 to 1/2 the selection of .com). Googling variations of "purchase witcher enhanced edition mail uk" has only produced news articles about it, not actual places to buy it.

EDIT: Apparently, the magic bullet is to remove "mail." Durrrr.

This is not the holy grail of downloading you make it out to be. The average person trying to get this patch is greedy and wouldn't seed anyway. Which leaves them with providing their own seeds and the same problem existing.

Fileplanet picked up a combo patch.  One download gets everything, even does it all on one install.  Well worth bypassing the polish fileserver for fileplanet.

Even if most people don't seed, peers still take a load off of the content providing server, which is more than you can say for direct http downloads.

So I patched and played for a good 6 hours last night.  This'll be my second time through the game.

I'm VERY impressed.  The game feels extremely polished at this point and I'm actually enjoying the story and VA instead of cringing at it.  I have a week off coming up here quick and I'm looking forward to playing through this again.
