    Witcher 3 and copyright rules

    It just illustrates the stupidity of the current interpretations of copyright law. It used to be that companies never, ever objected to free advertising--and that's exactly what a You-Tube post of a company's trailer is--free advertising. But today, at least in the US, corporate officers and...

    HD 7990, problems with ultra settings

    Sort of an unusual post as most people's gripe is that the software they are running doesn't push their gpus hard enough...;)/> I'm running a single 2GB 7850 clocked to 1.05GHz core and the game runs like butter with ubersampling & every other effect enabled (like SSAO.) Performance with all...

    TW2 Performance in game is horrible

    You might get a kick out of this, Guy...looked up the Amazon model and opened the specs page and it said "power = battery"...;)/> I think that's what they're calling 300W PSU's today...;)/> I bought the 2-gig 7850 and it overclocks to ~1GHz core ROOB with no voltage hike, so good...

    Can You Activate Retail Copy on Steam

    Steam already allows you to load in shortcuts for your non-steam games into your Steam Library page--and I think you can actually run the games from there if you like just like you can run any Steam game from there. But only Steam-purchased titles will be backed up on Steam, and of course if...

    Changelist: 1 has stopped working < HELP

    When I first tried to run W2 under my 8.1 UEFI installation, I got the same error running the exe from the pre-installed bin directory; however, the message was from my 8.1 Firewall blocking Changelist1 from doing its thing. I reinstalled W2 (like I should have done but had forgotten to do) and...

    Does the Witcher 2 engine favor AMD cards/drivers?

    Listen to Guy...he's right. At the moment AMD offers the best bang-for-the-buck. (I love competition--eventually prices come down for everyone.) The interesting thing about your post for me is the fact that W2 is a nVidia TWIMTBP game, meaning nVidia sponsored a small fraction of the game by...

    problem to start the game on windows 8.1

    Guy has a good suggestion...if you still can't get going, it might be as simple as you needing to reinstall the game after moving to 8.1. I recently did a UEFI install of 8.1 and had forgotten I hadn't reinstalled some software--your post spurred me to fire up W2 and lo and behold the launcher...

    I'd love some help with a new graphics card

    I honestly don't care for the nVidia control panel--it looks too much like some kind of generic WinXP control panel, or something...;)/>/> CCC is form designed around function, imo, and you'll never confuse it with a generic Windows config program. I think that's as it should be. She may not...

    Quick Question about W2 configuration

    Yea, that *is* strange...! Possibly senility is already mucking things up in my case, but that is the way I recall it--and I did use u=1 with much earlier versions of the game--which may or may not have had an impact on the situation. Ok, I've been testing with my current system (as already...

    Quick Question about W2 configuration

    Parallels what I've always heard...but will check out the 2 setting and get back.

    Quick Question about W2 configuration

    If your interpretation is correct, then W2 will be the first and only game in which my former gpu, a 1GB 5770, had any performance problems running 16xAF...;)/> Just setting it (abbreviating) u=1 dropped the frame rate in half with the 5770, down into the single digits, I'm sure. Looks like...

    Quick Question about W2 configuration

    I can only put it like this: all things being equal, with the 1GB 5770 I had to turn ubersampling off because =1 generated a < 10 fps "slide-show" when running the game (all other in-game settings maxed out.) With my 2GB 7850 (clocked to 1.05GHz/6GHz effective ram speed--card will do this ROOB...

    Quick Question about W2 configuration

    Quick Question about W2 configuration Running W2 with my newish 2GB 7850 I find that Ubersampling is a snap (whereas with my 1GB 5770 it was a slide show), and the setting in the .ini I'm using is Unbersampling = 1. I've read on certain sites that there is a Ubersampling = 2 setting which...

    Why isn't PC patch 3.4 posted on the official site?

    Just checking in as I hate to leave things dangling...problem is solv-ed, as Clouseau would say! Don't really know how or why, which is a tiny bit aggravating as I like to know these things. I installed the W2 combat mod, turned on ubersampling, turned off fsaa...and, I think, turned vsync on...
