I have to agree with others that your "solution" raises eyebrows at best. Its one thing to say you cant use a savegame in the middle of a changed area/different content, but it appears to be an unchanged click item in a random [required] quest. Even if i'm wrong seems like the kind of thing spending the hours to research and fix would go a long way with your customers. I'm a programmer and if i told my client they had to rebuild their database cause i didn't feel like figuring out how to convert a decimal to integer in one field that's causing them to crash and not able to work, dissapointment would be an understatement. At minimum I concede that at least there IS a workaround just with a lot of effort and crappy solution, but events like this will weigh in my future decisions.
PS: Dont get me wrong still a great game and getting an enhanced addition addon provided free is appreciated, but something free that destroys the original is not.

Well Im pretty screwed, the game is no longer recognising any saved games I have in the saves folder :/ I think it is trying to use the ones on the steam cloud where there are actually no saved games. So I cant use other peoples saves past the glitch as TW2 wont recognise them and I cant use saves from earlier in the game either 
Why are people bitching so much that the saves from Witcher 2 2.1 arnt compatible with the EE? Seriously, are you that surprised? The EE changed a TON of stuff, it only makes sense to start over to avoid error because of how much it changed. We all had to do this when the EE launched for TW1; and the EE isn't really a 'patch,' I don't know wha you would consider it... a Mini-Expansion pack? Or a maaaajor DLC? Dunno.
reaper004, that is a horrible weak argument. It is still a patch, and there was absolutely no indication that any fundamental part of the game was altered so it would require a new save game. I myself play very fragmentarely, meaning that i started the witchter quite a while ago, progressing quite slowly. I was already half way act II when i heard about the EE patch though, so i wasn't planning on going to start over just on the fly.
Also, the vergen bug being a cogwheel that is clipped in a wall sideway is what i would call a very fixeable bug, nothing else.

I really hope you can get this bug fixed asap...
I understand that things will break after a massive patch, it is bound to happen, especially in a game like witcher 2 with so many different choice paths..
But unfortunately the current solution just don't work for me.. Here is why
Here is my scenario (and I hope you take this into consideration)
1) I live in a country where internet isn't great, and for me to download the Critical Rebuild patch will take a good 2-3days(and that is if the download doesn't crash somewhere), while the GoG version will take forever! (I can neither invest my time or effort into doing something like .. And really want to finish this damn game!!)
Hell! My EE only just finished downloading this afternoon!
I really hope I don't have to play from the start or from act 2 again..I have limited time, and have already clocked over 40hrs into this game and really can't afford to start from scratch..
Please make this a NB on your next bug fixing list of things to do! Until I guess I'll have to play WoW or something ><
O.. And @Reaper004 .. Steam forces this update on users.. AKA patch.. If it was DLC etc it would be optional.. But patches are forced

I had that problem, for some reason cloud saving wouldn't turn off even tho I had no saves with it. I fixed it by going into Documents/The Witcher 2/Config/User.ini and changing CloudStorage=true to CloudStorage=false.Battlemaster1001 said:Well Im pretty screwed, the game is no longer recognising any saved games I have in the saves folder :/ I think it is trying to use the ones on the steam cloud where there are actually no saved games.
