This error usually occurs when the game is somehow corrupted during the download process so I'll assume you have a digital download version of the game. It can happen due to internet connection problems or antivirus software blocking, deleting, putting files in quarantine or sandboxing them.

Completely disabling antivirus and firewall and redownloading and reinstalling the game helped in all the cases apart from one, where it turned out that the hard drive the person owned was corrupted and installing the game to a different HDD helped.

To uninstall if you have the Steam version: right-click on "The Witcher 2" in your Steam application, select "Delete local content". Then redownload the game.

Lol, sure it's not Ves. It's the elven woman from the Loredo residency... Dunno her name.

I guess?
Yes!
Moril was her name.

Your turn ;)

Unfortunately, nothing was introduced in 1.3 that would make the performance with Ubersampling on significantly better on this setup.
So the performance measurements for Ultra settings with Ubersampling enabled presented here should still be accurate: http://www.techspot.com/review/405-the-witcher-2-performance/page3.html
 
Just a word of (possibly) explanation.
1. QTEs are linked to performance. When your machine has trouble processing the game and struggling for FPS it's more likely that the input during the QTE won't be registered in time.
2. In the patch 1.3 the black letterbox for non-16:9 resolutions was removed. For all those resolutions it's more pixels for your system to process. Effectively it's like playing with a higher resolution. Cue the inevitably worse performance (but more detail visible).
3. Disabling blur and motion blur simply cut the heavy load on your machine a bit. You could alternatively disable Anti-aliasing, SSAO or decrease LOD distance. Or fight fire with fire and decrease the resolution.

@ vinthir, in regards to missing icons and loss of input can you tell me why it works perfectly fine with Patch 1.2 and not 1.3
I cannot have a closer look at your system so I cannot say. I said "usually" because I wouldn't dare to write "always". Too many possible combinations of soft- and hardware on the PC platform.
If we stick to the memory theory though then we should also take into account the screen resolution and the version of Windows (which? 32- or 64-bit?).

My guess would be that:
1. Since 1.3 the black letter-box disappeared for those with resolutions different than 16:9. Since there is a full screen of pixels to process now, problems with memory, crashes, disappearing icons etc may follow. It effectively works like increasing resolution.

2. It's possible that since eg. June till 1.3 release one could gather quite a lot of saves. A large number of saves decreases performance. Removing the unneeded ones regularly is a good idea.

Hi Vatt, don't hide just for being an non-alko
I mean I don't refuse to have a booze but only if I have a special occasion. But I don't booze-up just for the sake of being total drunk.
I had enough of that when I was young than now...
(We have countless emoticons here but none for us Oldies).

So far I know only... two people who are like me about alcohol (total abstinent).

Others somehow can't understand this, I am not able to count how many times I was asked about reason for not drinking :D

So I hide

Dear Team! I don't know where exactly to write, but I will write here. I want to make to myself a tattoo which on a Iorveths neck, but I can not find an exact picture anywhere. You couldn't send me it? I will send a photo with this tattoo on my neck!
P.S. and sorry for my English, I am from Russia)


Send me an e-mail to marcin.momot@cdprojektred.com and I'll see what I can do:)

Riddle:
There was a monster and I was it's victim
Unlike the others he wanted me with him.
I was left alive, yet dead to the world
The only things left is my fruit and story to be told.


Easy for a good start :)

You need patch 0 only if you want to manually update to 1.1 or 1.2, the autoupdate should work ok
all the patches including patch 0 ( New install patcher ): http://www.gamepron.com/title/6511/The-Witcher-2-Assassins-of-Kings/files/Patches/
The zero day patch is not needed for anything anymore and never was since the patch 1.1.
If you want to manually update to 1.1 for some reason go straight to point 2.(!!!) here: http://en.thewitcher.com/patch/ . If you want to manually update further, to 1.2 after applying patch 1.1 apply 1.2 from here: http://en.thewitcher.com/patch1-2/

About the disappearing icons: this issue is usually connected to memory shortages and fixes from point 24. in our FAQ apply: http://en.thewitcher.com/forum/index.php?/topic/22348-technical-faq/

About the loss of input: This issue also can be connected to memory problems (see above) as well as to unstable overclocks of CPUs and GPUs. Restoring default clocks is recommended. Having DDR 3 RAM(rather than DDR 2) is preferable.

My understanding is that even though it took forEVER for them to get the forum back up, it still isn't in its final form. So some stuff should improve over the next week or so.


Exactly, we are still working on it. Thank you for your input everybody and please keep the feedback coming. We will do out best to make this place comfortable for everyone.
