I purchased the original Witcher not knowing the pain and trouble I could have avoided by getting the enhanced. And during the process of updating to patch 1.4, I am having trouble. I get to the point where a single bar appears saying it's modifying the files and may take up to two hours. Then it simply freezes. The program is not responding it says, and I cannot get past that point. I must reinstall the game everytime to restart and I have attempted this multiple times. I have turned off all other programs including the firewalls, antivirus, etc...Can anyone help me with this?Edit: I have Vista 32bit. (from what i've seen this looks like an amazing game and i really want to play it)[MOD]Don't bump your thread in less than 24 hours[/MOD]
it's normal to just say "Not responding" while the patching process is working, you have a problem only when it says that but you hard drive case lights are not lighteddid you wait at least 30minutes ?Senyu said:
Hi all,I bought the original game soon after it came out and was disappointed in the bug and performance issues. Now I have a new pc and have reinstalled original Witcher. It was not patched. I patched it with the 1.3.0.1198 (i am in U.S. and only want english) and then i found a patch to change it to Enhanced Edition (none of the updates/patches worked at the official website, why is that?). When I try to install it again I get a message that the language pack is not right for the original Witcher I have installed; files missing i guess. I checked off only English when I intially installed the game too. Where is a good place to get all the patches/updates I need for english, U.S. only? Like I said if you go thru the official website or atari nothing comes up when you try to download any files??? I did download an english language update for the enhanced edition but if I try to install that before 1.4 i get a message that I have to install the enhanced edition update before the language patch. Any help would be appreciated. Thanx to all, Jimmy
The 1.4 patch IS at http://www.thewitcher.com/community/en/www/installation_of_twee_in_four_easy_steps.html. If you're getting a blank page when you click on that link, then check out the FAQ about the Enhanced Edition. The FAQ explains how to solve several different problems that people have reported with the 1.4 patch, including having the link seem blank.jimbo63 said:

Hello.About a year and a half ago, I bought The Witcher. I haven't played it yet, so I thought to myself that it was about time, since another friend of mine told me it was one of the best games that he had ever played.Though I am a little confused. It looks like there is a lot to download and install, and I'm not sure what I should download.My friend told me something about language packs as well, and I've seen something called D'jinni. So I was hoping you guys could tell me what I need to download to get started with the playing. I assumed I just have version 1.0, though Im not sure.Thanks.
On the official site there's a sort of guide or scheme, that tell you what you have to download and how to install. Anyway, first download your language pack (e.g. english, french, german and so on...) then the latest patches (1.4 and 1.5). Double-click on the patch file and wait.Enjoy

What's TAGES? And is that FAQ aimed at US players?I tried to download the patch from thewitcher.com but it doesn't respond, I have tried with both Internet Explorer and Opera. And where do I register my game?Your reply made more questions than answers. I'm from Norway, if it's of any use.LicaonKter said:read the FAQ: http://www.thewitcher.com/forum/index.php?topic=17503.0 ( register your game, update your game, uninstall TAGES, play )LicaonKter said:Hello.About a year and a half ago, I bought The Witcher.

For the last 2 days, I've been trying to figure out how to fix this:SetupNew\setup.cpp (138)PAPPVENDORGUID:$@Windows XP Service Pack 3 (2600) Non IE/Netscape 11.0Just so you know:1. I have over 100GB on each partition on my computer, so space is not an issue.2. I have tried installing the patch in 'Safe Mode with Networking".3. I have installed .NET 1.1, 2.0, 2.0SP2 and 3.0. Must I remove SP2 and install SP1? I don't really think there should be a problem, though.4. The patch files have always been in the same folder and are also in their original names.I have also tried the 'unofficial' routes to patch my game. I assumed that the command line spoken of needs to be done in DOS, so I tried to patch it through DOS, but to no avail. Yes, I know how to use DOS. I also tried to using Universal Extractor, but it still results in the same problem.No matter what I do, I wind up with the same error. What is going on here? I really don't know what to do. Two days is way too much effort to try and get a game to work.Someone please help me, I really want to try the Enhanced Edition Patch.If there's any information you need to know about my computer, or anything at all for that matter, please let me know./LE:Just so you know, my file size is also correct, for both TWEE_Upgrade.exe, as well as the language pack. I've also checked the hash sums, and they are correct.I'm still confused as to what I should do. Oh man, someone please help me! :'([MOD]Use the MODIFY button[/MOD]
