New news?

http://store.steampowered.com/app/20900/


Also:

Is it on the App Store as well?

The CDProject guy said it would be exclusive to Steam.

[Seraphinianus]

the actual release is new.

will post screens from my 2008 unibody so everyone can suffer like me, if it survives. I got it to an unstable 60fps on my windows partition last summer. \m/

[Baller, PhD]

Did you use a gamepad or KB+M? I'm curious as to how I might set up a gamepad on this here Macintosh.

[Seraphinianus]

KB+M for sure. the combat is just timed mouse clicks and I can't imagine going through this game's menus with a pad would be any fun. I only played about an hour, it can't be good for my macbook to play it! I have heat marks on the inside of my case from trying to run games like this.

been waiting so long to get into this series damn I need a mouse :(
my trackpad is kinda broken... hope I can get this to run smoothly

sorry Xenoblade :P

[Miizy F Baby]

Definitely KB/M. There's no way The first Witcher wouldn't be hell with a gamepad. That inventory.

If you plan on partaking in everything the game has to offer, it'll be a long time before you see the world of Xenoblade again.

[The Technomancer]

I'll be very curious to see how these compare preformance-wise. I just installed The Witcher in Windows 7 on my new-used 2010 Macbook to see how it ran, and now I can see how it handles on OSX

I don't mind at all :) I want to play it on WiiU anyway
now I need to order a mouse for my macbook after seeing if these has good results

This series I always wanted to get into hope I like it

The prologue may put you off, not the least because of the rather dull combat (click, wait, click...), but be sure to give the game a chance. Soon enough everything will click and you'll love it.

Why does your steam UI look a bit different than mine? Buttons have different icons and the such.

Also, will try out on my 13" Mid-2010 MBP soon.

I'm using the PixelVision skin.

Edit: Oh, straight from that thread:

Notes & Disclaimers - This skin is meant for Windows, and is as-of-yet untested on Mac (it's on the to-do list!).

:( "Untested" doesn't necessarily mean it won't work, though.

[Smiles and Cries]

is this playable with trackpad at all?

I lost the link to the mouse I wanted to buy at amazon got to google search for got the name of the mouse

[dreamfall]

Oh my, I am so in. I'm not sure if it will run on my 2010 MBP, but I shall attempt it!

[EDarkness]

I purchased this on the PC a long time ago, but I didn't finish it. Now I can play it again without using Bootcamp. Awesome.

It's really one of the best RPG ever. Just try to move past the prologue.

[CrunchinJelly]

Is it on the App Store as well?

[kyubajin]

Double dipped yesterday just after the keynote. I'm playing on a late 2009 27-inch iMac Radeon HD 4670 256 MB VRAM with graphics set to Medium at 1600x1200 and it runs fine.

is this prologue this castle I've been in for the past hour?

trying to understand everything... its not running too bad I had to drop the settings a bit but the only thing is an issue is my trackpad being broken

I love spending $10 on great stuff

[Oxx]

I think my 2008 iMac might be a little long in the tooth.

[666]

This is good news!

[Hato-kun]

Wondering how this would run on a Mid 2010 15" i7. Would it work with the mobile GPU?

Sexy. I'm gonna play this so hard before Witcher 2 on 360.

Are you using the trackpad? I don't even own a mouse anymore, heh. I've been meaning to get one for D3 but I still haven't worked out what I want to buy.

Sexy. I'm gonna play this so hard before Witcher 2 on 360.

Yeah I might do the same.

[NekoFever]

Bought. I've been wanting to play this pretty much since it came out.

Nice of them to give us a whole ten days to finish it before the 360 sequel comes out :P

[dreamfall]

Whoawesome! Played about two hours on my MBP 2010 15'. There definitely was some framerate hitching, and all the settings were on Medium but it felt soooo good. Finished the Prologue, and definitely going to play this before the sequel. I was using the trackpad, but it still feels a bit strange to Right click to cast spells, while trying to chain attacks with the left. Loved every second thus far, these next two weeks shall be all Witcher-esque!

[Smiles and Cries]

yeah my trackpad is a little broken one side has sunk in a bit but it still works
I would rather use a mouse but this game is interesting so far

I need a guide :|

how do I look at those cards you collect with the ladies or do you only see them when... hmm

[StopMakingSense]

Hallelujah for retroactive SteamPlay!

[Proposed Law]

Can't get the game to load for me. It keeps crashing.

[CrudeDiatribe]

Saw a post on Inside Mac Games that it uses an old Wineskin engine, and that you can bump performance up by replacing that component.

I know nothing of wineskins and whatsits, but am curious.


So the GAF hivemind says the game is worth getting?

[rhfb]

Any word if it is playable at the lowest settings on the 2011 13" MBA?

[dreamfall]

Does anyone know how we access the soundtrack/game guide/ etc? Can't seem to find it Library Steam folders or in the game itself...

[NekoFever]

Saw a post on Inside Mac Games that it uses an old Wineskin engine, and that you can bump performance up by replacing that component. I know nothing of wineskins and whatsits, but am curious.

I thought it was running some kind of emulation because it crashed on me once and the error message was a Windows-style one. I'll try it out with the latest engine and see whether it improves anything.

Runs quite well on my MacBook Pro at 1680x1050 with medium settings.

Edit: Just tried swapping out the wineskin file and now it crashes, even when I switch it back. Time to download all 10GB again and wait for some instructions.

[Smiles and Cries]

it works pretty well for me but anyone know where the save files are on this?
I would like to see if older save files you download online can work

never used wineskin sounds interesting if you can get better performance

I have to see a day aside for grinding

Question: if someone you dies during your quest you know those escort missions do they return? I was trying to get this girl home and got so close but she got killed
I have not checked at the location at night where I saw her needing help

I'm kinda worried that his game is once you failed a quest its gone

[Skeksis]

Any word if it is playable at the lowest settings on the 2011 13" MBA?

Yes: I have an early 2011 MacBook, 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, with 2 GB of memory and a Geforce 320M internal gfx chip. At the lower settings, it runs acceptably at the kind of framerate that would not work for a twitchy shooter, but is tolerable in an RPG. Still, 10GB is a heck of a download just to see if it'll run on your machine!

If anyone comes up with a for-dummies tutorial on how to do this, please share the fun :) I'd really like to bump the resolution to my native 27-inch monitor...

so far not finding this, I real do not like OSX Lion I cannot get around or search like I want to

[Sqorgar]

so far not finding this, I real do not like OSX Lion I cannot get around or search like I want to

For some reason, Lion hides the Library folder. To get to it, go to the Go menu in the Finder and hold down the option key (all sorts of menu items change when you hold down option, not that anybody told me this).

[PSFan]

Installed it on my MacBook pro and it plays really good! I got my MBP in August 2011 if it maters.

[An-Det]

That is great news, awesome game now available to more people. Now to convince my mac friends to buy it during the next sale.

it is hiding all the contents of the witchier app it is very frustrating
I want to see if mods can work on with this version but I cannot search

I restarted my computer and the windows that were open loaded up again and showed every file in the content folder closed the folder all the files go invisible again lol

I also have GTA from stream on this computer and they have a rockstart folder in documents but no folder for the Witcher or CDProjekt

[NekoFever]

so far not finding this, I real do not like OSX Lion I cannot get around or search like I want to

Click Go -> Go to folder in Finder and paste that location in. Lion hides the Library by default.

"The folder can't be found."

Edit: I left this out -> ~

how this search become this stupid?

[hardcastlemccormick]

So this port is using Wine/Cider? Darn. I thought it might have been a native app for Mac.

Well, I still have my Windows desktop where it looks very pretty.

[Smiles and Cries]

okay finding the data file folder was the hardest part to add a mod to this game :)

now I can enjoy it

[Y2Kev]

Aaaaand purchased.

[RDreamer]

Wow, that's pretty awesome. I bought this a long time ago when it was on sale, but I never really got to play since my wife has the PC. Guess I'll get a chance now.

[Smiles and Cries]

this is a really good rpg :)

I am not even moving the story yet but spent so many hours just grinding

finally got Vesna to safety now I really want to invest in a good PC for games like this
