The game runs smooth and flawless for me with the highest settings (all eye candy on) and in 1680x1050 wide screen resolution (see my Sig for computer specs), the loading times is just around 5-15 seconds. One thing that happens sometimes is when i shut down the game i get an error message that says that The Witcher exe has done something wrong.
Guys that has to be a provocation. He did not register the game. You ask for specs guy doesn't answer. I mean, he wrote that stupid post just to piss you off. I have AMD Athlon 64 3000+, 2 g RAM and GF 7600GS and game runs smoothly on almost max details. The conclusion is clear thenWe are not talking about the same game. If anybody have any problems I suggest reinstaling the system, remove all unnecessary shit from autostart and registry. And for god sake. Don't use Vista!
He IS an Idiot or troll...or both.The replies he was given were honest and much more polite than he deserved, given the way he decided to voice his "opinion".Still hasn't even had the decency to post his system spec's, which at this point I wouldn't trust anyway.\And why the hell is he playing on HARD and complaining that there ARE hard mobs to be dealt with????ioler said:
Bah i love the game to be honest and well unlucky if you do not like it! As for a comment regarding NN2 and just static fighting with no real input i find that rather strange to be honest that game for me was a click fest like no other. Pause issue commands pause situation changes adapt.As for the loading times on my Rig they are quite large loading times at least 20secs or more but i cope to be honest i havent even done my usual optimisation that i do for new games because i got so addicted i could not stop playing lol....When i get home today i will Defrag (Sigh) and have a look at my settings on my GPU im actually considering getting the latest Driversfor this game to see if i get a GREAT performance boost. I use old Drivers for my 7800GTX because this particular Driver runs Shadows a lot better.
Okay...I had some troubles in the beginning because everytime i tried to start the witcher i had the same error"put in the dvd",but that's solved right now.I have a system that's quite similar to most people around this forum(Q6600,2GB Ram,8800 vidcard)and i didn't notice ANY crashes untill know,and i'm deep into ACT II....So i don't understand why people are bashing the dev-team.They can't help it that Vista and nowadays hardware are still bugged with diseases....Only flaw for me is the load/saving time,but hey time for me to fetch a drink and get me a sigaret,cause i don't want to miss a thing...Hell i even didn't use the pause game function yet
I saw this thread when you created it but I wrote it off after reading it and had no intention of replying, I see its been bumped though.In fairness you posted a rant which belittled the developers and the game, made many statements as facts which are little more than options on preferences.If you had simply stated you were not happy about the game and stated the same reasons as your opinions people probably would have taken your post more seriously.As for the response, after your post I thought they went out of their way to ignore the more obtuse elements of your initial post and ask for more detail in exactly the issues you were having.Seeing as your second and now third posts still haven’t bothered to give any details as to the issues you’re having or what your specs are you can’t really be expecting any help with your technical complaints.Or as is more often the case, if you want to upgrade your in game settings then upgrade your components, I have slightly higher than recommended specs and I have none of your complaints so it leads me to guess (what with you not responding with the information) that your components do not meet requirements for the higher quality settings.And to paraphrase, overall your posts in this thread are extremely bizarre, 1/5 from me.
Normaly I wouldn't say a word, because I don't realy care what you think, but you mess up this forum with your childish, boorish and very silly posts. I don't want to offend u, but you have to understand that this game and this forum is made for people representing higher level than yours.. So please If you don't have anything constructive to say just shut your mouth up and only read other people posts or leave this forum for good and I can even wave you for goodbyeioler said:
Actually, I think we should all barge in and insult you as we please. If you have the right to spout your misinformed opinion about the game and insult it and other people with no back up to your words then we definitely have the right to give you our opinion on you.Hell, I might even give you a reason - you're stupid.
This depends on your system but ive seen other people have this issueioler said:
There is something possibly wrong with your system, not heard this as a common issue
Again, a non issue for me, what are you system specs? that would help
But in what way poor?
you make the choices, you have to live with them
bribe her
a few tactics on here to help with that
I had to stop in the Inn and read carefully in my journal, quests, characters logs for a good 10mins to remember what i was doing and why, as i feel it should be, would you rather have only the find my lost boot, kill 20 of these type quests? Yes its tricky to keep track but it just makes me want to replay it the minute ive finished!
A shame, but you know, you could post your specs and ask for help/advice
My opinion: This game is too good for some people ......And some people are a pain in the ass .Even if the game is good they still need to sh*t on itP.S please dont tell me tht Oblivion is the best :
Well they are quite different games even though belonging in the same genre. Oblivion is an open end RPG and the Witcher, albeit full of side quests, remains linear. They both offer a different experience. I believe Oblivion is the best open end cRPG out there, equal only to Morrowind. The Witcher is becoming for me one of the best linear cRPGs I have played in the last years. Worthy competitors? Hmm, maybe NWN2: MotB (only because it's so very epic) and Planescape:Torment.PowazfromRivia said:P.S please dont tell me tht Oblivion is the best :
