A patch for The Witcher 2 should be released this evening, publisher CD Projekt has announced. Patch 1.1 is in testing internally and the studio hopes it will be in gamers’ hands from tonight.
“Internal tests of Patch 1.1 are well under way. Our current target is to release it this evening,” said a post on the Witcher community site. “Please note that although we are doing our best to have it ready by then, the time still may change in order to be completely sure that the patch will function properly. This is our primary concern since there are significant changes and upgrades that will affect many users.”
Main changes and fixes in patch 1.1:
1. Simpler and more reliable game installation and activation. Details to be revealed soon.
2. Fixed the free Troll Trouble DLC download. It is now included n the patch so there’s no need to download and install it separately.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Fixed random crashes occurring on some systems, especially after saving and loading saves.
6. Key mapping – allows the arrow and number keys to be used for movement.
7. Added the option to invert the mouse.
8. nVidia surround vision now works properly.
9. More accurate assessment provided by the “auto-detect settings” option will help improve game performance.
10. Removed a bug that prevented completion of the “Blood Curse” quest.
11. Fixed a bug that prevented the additional link in “Extras” from being unlocked after winning the dice game against the GOG.com monk.
12. GOG.com credits now work properly.
“The Witcher 2 makes Dragon Age look like daytime viewing next to its HBO primetime slot,” said Emily in her The Witcher 2 review moments before slapping a chunky 9/10 score on CD Projekt RED’s sophomore effort.
