Well I just found this:
http://www.gog.com/en/forum/the_witcher_2/so_i_heard_you_like_free_dlc_all_of_them_here_for_free_legally/page1
Haven't had a chance to install them yet (not home) but I think someone just emailed all of the addresses and compiled the dlc
I actually got a better min/max/avg framerate with the 270.61 driver than the beta NVIDIA 275.27 driver. =/ I was really hoping to run this game at 60 FPS on high with most stuff turned on but it doesn't seem like that's gonna happen unless CDR has some more tricks or new drivers from NVIDIA.

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
Got the patch. Performance is the same in Flotsam with all the same settings as before, down to 28-30 fps in certain areas like the gallows. Still getting the Samum bomb bug where they don't appear in my inventory. Still getting the black screen bug when trying to complete the incense quest a certain way. Got a random crash with no error or anything, the window just closed, in the area with the kayran when I'm there with Triss and she teleports away (I was loading different save points to test this).

Select it, then hit enable button, and test vibration just to be sure.
I know how to enable it, but I mean in-game how can I change the control scheme? Like setting attack to R1 instead of R2?
Try using high/ultra preset then changing your settings. I heard the High/Ultra pre-sets affect LoD detail. So Normal LoD on "Normal spec" is worse than Normal LoD on Ultra-spec.Varna said:
IIRC I read something like that! Might just have been a crazy theory, but try it!
Alexios
Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
Start with the High or Ultra preset then lower your settings accordingly (if you do). Starting with the Low or Medium preset changes LOD settings that aren't available in the advanced options so no matter what you adjust there it will always be too low/near for certain things (like, the roads in Flotsam will be changing LOD a few feet ahead).Varna said:
@above it's not a crazy theory it's been confirmed, I was the first to mention it in this thread. I confirmed it pre-patch that is, I doubt anything was changed for it though.

I think you click 'options' in the area that you highlighted in the picture. iirc that lets you remap controls.

Varna said:Thanks... It still doesn't quiet look like it did before the patch to me but I might just be focusing on it too much at this point. A few yards ahead of Geralt I can just see the blurry terrain.
Go to My Documents > The Witcher 2 > Config > User.txt
TextureMemoryBudget=1000
Use that. Mine was set at 100 after patch and all the textures were loading really slow.
Try it and see if it works.

Thanks sir, still no dice though. Anyone that had retail then used paul.dll and witcher.exe from GOG patch? May also be because my game folder is on a separate harddrive and the patcher can't auto find it.
You might have to reinstall the game. :/
Game patches automatically apparently if you reinstall.

Sucks to hear about the Journal. TBH, it was pretty broken though, I absolute hate (hate hate hate) how you can't tell what's new because the new icon disappears before you can even see it when you have to scroll down the list. It should remain until you view the item and exit the journal.
You also should step back to the main menu, not the game when canceling out of a sub-item. Another thing I gets fixed soon.
If you swapped your exes before, you'll need to restore them back to their originals for the patch to work I'd guess. If you no longer have the originals, that means uninstall / reinstall.

You can use the dpad to select some stuff in the radial, but... it looks like they broke analog stick support for the menus with this patch. I can't do anything with the sticks in the menus like I could before. And in the prologue when you have to aim the ballista, I can't aim with the sticks at all. I'm pretty upset about this.gdt5016 said:

If that doesnt work... all is lost D:
Lemme go dig up that old config.

so all versions are DRM free? well that didn't take very long
so the Steam version also had the third party DRM removed?

the Steam version supposedly had SecuROM as well
It is, sadly. The files that need to be patched are in one big archive, which can only be updated by downloading a new version of the entire archive. I don't see how they expect people to do that every time they patch the game. It's a limitation of Steam, sure, but it must have come up at some point at CDPR, surely...GuiltybyAssociation said:
Hint for when you switch: You can use the arrow keys to aim and space to fire the ballista, MUCH better than aiming with the mouse.Aeana said:
Here is the config that was posted a while ago by boobphysics:
Correct.
Xdrive05 said:The patch is version 1.1, right? I ask because I reinstalled (downloaded patch would not work), and the auto-patcher only downloaded like 15mb worth of files. Just making sure I'm on the right version now.
Correct.

Is there a framerate improvement from the patch for those already using the GOG non DRM version?
So I found the culprit for some issues I had. I had set the texture memory budget to very high. Apparently too high for a 1gB GPU, high works much better .
I was so confused when I got mad microstuttering and constant black loading screens and mad texture pop in. On high it's so much better, don't notice texture pop in and it doesn't take full on 16 seconds for the textures to load in the inn, more like 0 seconds! Now I'm ready to enjoy the fuck out of this game after school's finished.

Oh?
I have it set to very high too, I remember reading even that was conservative for a 1gb graphics card.

Even after the Patch my framerate at the tavern is low. Such a strange problem, the whole game for me runs at 60 fps but that damn tavern in Flostan.
Kyaw said:
Thank you. Do those extra commands actually do anything? Did not fix my issues sadly.
Did some quick fraps recordings...
Notice the plant... doesn't even change.. just kind of flickers.

Same issue I'm having. Your on an ATI card though aren't you? Was yours caused by the hotfix or new patch?rabhw said:
